COAT AND COLOR

Coat and Skin The coat of Bulldog should be straight, short, flat, close, of fine texture, smooth and glossy. (No fringe, feather or curl.) The skin should be soft and loose, especially at the head, neck and shoulders. Wrinkles and Dewlap --The head and face should be covered with heavy wrinkles, and at the throat, from jaw to chest, there should be two loose pendulous folds, forming the dewlap.

Color of Coat The color of coat should be uniform, pure of its kind and brilliant. The various colors found in the breed are to be preferred in the following order: 1) red brindles 2) all other brindles 3) solid white 4) solid red, fawn or fallow 5) piebald 6) inferior qualities of all the foregoing.

Note : A perfect piebald is preferable to a muddy brindle or defective solid color. Solid black is very undesirable, but not so objectionable if occurring to a moderate degree in piebald patches. The brindles to be perfect should have a fine, even and equal distribution of the composite colors. In brindles and solid colors a small white patch on the chest is not considered detrimental. In piebalds the color patches should be well defined, of pure color and symmetrically distributed.
