In
action
the
Bulldog
should
have
a
peculiarly
heavy
and
constrained
gait,
a
rolling,
or
"slouching"
movement,
appearing
to
walk
with
short,
quick
steps
on
the
tip
of
his
toes,
his
hind-feet
not
being
lifted
high
but
appearing
to
skim
the
ground,
and
running
with
the
right
shoulder
rather
advanced,
similar
to
the
manner
of
a
horse
when
cantering.
The
foregoing
minute
description
of
the
various
show
points
of
a
Bulldog
indicates
that
he
should
have
the
appearance
of
a
thick-set
Ayrshire
or
Highland
bull.
In
stature
he
should
be
low
to
the
ground,
broad
and
compact,
the
body
being
carried
between
and
not
on
the
fore-legs.
He
should
stand
over
a
great
deal
of
ground,
and
have
the
appearance
of
immense
power.
The
height
of
the
fore-leg
should
not
exceed
the
distance
from
the
elbow
to
the
centre
of
the
back,
between
the
shoulder
blades.
Considerable
importance
is
attached
to
the
freedom
and
activity
displayed
by
the
animal
in
its
movements.
Deformed
joints,
or
weakness,
are
very
objectionable.
The
head
should
be
strikingly
massive
and
carried
low,
the
face
short,
the
muzzle
very
broad,
blunt,
and
inclined
upwards.
The
body
should
be
short
and
well-knit,
the
limbs,
stout
and
muscular.
The
hind-quarters
should
be
very
high
and
strong,
but
rather
lightly
made
in
comparison
with
the
heavily-made
fore-parts.
