Bully Wheaten

The Bulldog, also commonly known as the English Bulldog, is a medium-sized breed with a distinctive thick-set, low-slung body that exudes strength and determination. Males typically stand 15 to 17 inches at the shoulder and weigh approximately 50 to 54 pounds, while females are slightly smaller at 14 to 16 inches and 40 to 50 pounds. The breed's body structure is characterized by broad, muscular shoulders and a comparatively lighter hindquarters, creating a distinctive pear shape when viewed from above. The chest is wide and deep, and the legs are sturdy and well-muscled, though relatively short in proportion to the body. The front legs are set wide apart to accommodate the broad chest. The Bulldog's most recognizable feature is its large, broad head with a pronounced brachycephalic structure. The face is heavily wrinkled, particularly around the nose and forehead, with deep rope-like folds that require regular cleaning. The muzzle is extremely short and pushed inward, creating the flat-faced appearance characteristic of the breed. The breed standard requires an undershot jaw, where the lower jaw projects beyond the upper jaw. The nose is broad with large, wide nostrils set back between the eyes. Small, thin ears fold over in a distinctive rose shape, exposing part of the inner ear. The eyes are set low and wide apart in the skull, round in shape, and dark in color. The overall facial expression has been described as a characteristic sourmug appearance that belies the breed's gentle nature. The Bulldog's coat is short, smooth, flat, and fine in texture, lying close to the body and requiring minimal grooming. Acceptable colors include red, white, fawn, fallow, and various brindle patterns, with or without white markings. Piebald patterns are also commonly seen. The tail is naturally short, either straight or screwed, set low and carried downward. The breed moves with a distinctive rolling gait due to its body structure and wide-set front legs. Loose skin forms dewlaps at the throat, and the back features a slight roach behind the shoulders. The overall appearance should convey stability, vigor, and strength.

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a medium-sized, hardy Irish farm dog with a distinctive square, well-balanced outline. Males stand 18 to 19 inches at the withers and weigh 35 to 40 pounds, while females are slightly smaller at 17 to 18 inches and 30 to 35 pounds. The breed presents a compact, athletic appearance with moderate bone and substance, neither too light nor too heavy. The body length from chest to rump is approximately equal to the height at the withers, creating the characteristic square profile. The breed moves with a free, ground-covering gait that demonstrates its working heritage. The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier's most distinguishing feature is its beautiful coat. Unlike most terriers, this breed possesses a single coat rather than a double coat, composed of soft, silky, gently waving hair with a luminous sheen. The coat covers the entire body in an abundant fall, flowing with the dog's movement. Two distinct coat types exist within the breed. The Irish coat is generally silkier and wavier, while the American or Heavy coat is thicker and fuller. All Wheaten Terriers are born with dark coloring, typically red, mahogany, brown, or even white, and gradually lighten to their mature wheat color by two to three years of age. The final coat color may range from pale beige to shimmering gold, with any shade of wheaten acceptable. The head is moderately long and rectangular in shape, covered with coat that falls forward over the eyes. The skull is flat and not too wide between the ears. The muzzle is strong and the nose is large and black. Eyes are medium-sized, almond-shaped, and dark to medium brown, set fairly wide apart. Ears are small to medium in size, breaking level with the skull and folding forward. The tail is docked in countries where this practice is permitted and is carried upright when the dog is alert.
