The Standard... Neck,
Topline, Body & Tail
The neck should be very muscular, long
and arched; tapering from the shoulders to the head, it should be free
from loose skin.
The back should be short and strong with
a slight arch over the loin. Behind the shoulders there should be no
slackness or dip at the withers.
The body should be well rounded with
marked spring of rib. The back ribs deep. The chest should be broad when
viewed from in front There should be great depth from withers to brisket
so that the latter is nearer to the ground than the belly. The underline
from the brisket to the belly, should form a graceful upward curve. The
Miniature Bull Terrier should have a strongly developed muscular neck
