Color: Almost any color, but black and black and tan will disqualify.
Weight: Three classes are provided, under 20 lbs., 20 to 24 lbs., and 24
to 28 lbs.
The French Bulldog ought to have the appearance of an active,
intelligent and very muscular dog of cobby build and heavy in the bone
for his size. The head should be large and square with the forehead
nearly flat, the muscles of the cheek well developed but not prominent.
“Stop” as deep as possible. The forehead should be wrinkled, and the
skin of the head not tight. Eyes moderate in size and dark in color.
“Bat” ears of medium size, large at the base and rounded at the tips and
placed high on the head. The body should be short and rotund with a
distinct roach and light but sound quarters. His shoulders should be
strong and he should stand on short but fairly stout limbs for his size.
The fundamental difference between the French Bulldog and the English
miniature is seen in the foreface which in the French should show some
slight protrusion of the under-jaw, and some turnup, but no layback.
