AKC French Bulldog Breed Standard – June 5, 2018

French Bulldog Breed Standard – Revised by FBDCA

Official Standard for the FRENCH BULLDOG

General Appearance—The French Bulldog has the appearance
of an active, intelligent, muscular dog of heavy bone, smooth coat,
compactly built, and of medium or small structure. The hallmarks
of the breed are the square head with bat ears and the roach back.
Expression alert, curious, and interested.

French Bulldog
Proportion, Size, Substance, Symmetry

Proportion and Symmetry—All points are well distributed and bear
good relation one to the other; no feature being in such prominence
from either excess or lack of quality that the animal appears
poorly proportioned. Influence of Sex—In comparing specimens of
different sex, due allowance is to be made in favor of bitches, which
do not bear the characteristics of the breed to the same marked
degree as do the dogs.

Size, Proportion, Substance—Weight not to exceed 28 pounds;
over 28 pounds is a disqualification. Proportion—Distance from
withers to ground in good relation to distance from withers to onset
of tail, so that animal appears compact, well balanced and in good
proportion. Substance—Muscular, heavy bone.

French Bulldog
Head

Head—Head large and square. Eyes dark, brown or approaching black in color, wide apart, set low down in the skull, as far from the ears as possible, round in form, of moderate size, neither sunken nor bulging. Lighter brown colored eyes are acceptable, but not desirable. Blue or green eye(s) or any traces of blue or green are a disqualification. No haw and no white of the eye showing when looking forward.

 

 

French Bulldog
Ears, Skull, Forehead, Muzzle, Jaw

Ears – Known as the bat ear, broad at the base, elongated, with round top, set high on the head but not too close together, and carried erect with the orifice to the front. The leather of the ear fine and soft. Other than bat ears is a disqualification. The top of the skull flat between the ears; the forehead is not flat but slightly rounded. The muzzle broad, deep and well laid back; the muscles of the cheeks well developed. The stop well defined, causing a hollow groove between the eyes with heavy wrinkles forming a soft roll over the extremely short nose; nostrils broad with a well-defined line between them. Nose black. Nose other than black is a disqualification, except in the case of creams or fawns without black masks, where a lighter colored nose is acceptable but not desirable. Flews black, thick and broad, hanging over the lower jaw at the sides, meeting the underlip in front and covering the teeth and tongue, which are not seen when the mouth is closed. The underjaw is deep, square, broad, undershot and well turned up. Wry mouths andany bites other than undershot are serious faults.

French Bulldog
Neck, Topline, Body

Neck, Topline, Body—The neck is thick and well arched with loose
skin at the throat. The back is a roach back with a slight fall close behind the shoulders, gradually rising to the loin which is higher than the shoulder, and rounding at the croup. The back is strong and short, broader at the shoulders, and tapering to the rear. The body is short and well rounded. The chest is broad, deep, and full; well ribbed with the belly tucked up. The tail is either straight or screwed (but not curly),short, hung low, thick root and fine tip; carried low in repose.

French Bulldog
Forequarters

Forequarters—Forelegs are short, stout, straight, muscular and set wide apart. Dewclaws may be removed. Feet are moderate in size, compact and firmly set. Toes compact, well split up, with high knuckles and short stubby nails.

 

Hindquarters—Hind legs are strong and muscular, longer than the forelegs, so as to elevate the loins above the shoulders. Hocks well let down. Feet are moderate in size, compact and firmly set. Toes compact, well split up, with high knuckles and short stubby nails; hind feet slightly longer than forefeet.

French Bulldog
Hindquarters

Coat—Coat is brilliant, short and smooth. Skin is soft and loose,
especially at the head and shoulders, forming wrinkles. Coats other
than short and smooth are a disqualification.

Color—Acceptable colors: white, cream, fawn (ranging from
light fawn to a red fawn), or any combinations of the foregoing.
Markings and patterns are: brindle, piebald, black masks, black
shadings, and white markings. Ticking is acceptable but not desired. Brindle ranges from sparse but clearly defined black stripes on a fawn background to such heavy concentration of black striping that the essential fawn background color barely shows through (“black brindle”). Only a trace of the background color is necessary; in a brindle piebald, a trace of the brindle patterning in any patch is sufficient. All other colors, markings or patterns are a disqualification. Disqualifying colors and patterns include, but are not limited to, solid black, black and tan, black and white, white with black, blue, blue fawn, liver, and merle. Black means black without a trace of brindle.

Gait—Correct gait is a “four tracking” foot pattern with the front track
wider than the rear track. The movement should have reach and drive
and is unrestrained, free and vigorous.

Temperament—Well behaved, adaptable, and comfortable companions
with an affectionate nature and even disposition; generally
active, alert, and playful, but not unduly boisterous.

DISQUALIFICATIONS
• Over 28 pounds in weight.
• Blue or green eye(s) or any traces of blue or green.
• Other than bat ears.
• Nose other than black, except in the case of cream or fawn colored
dogs without black masks, where a lighter colored nose is acceptable.
• Coats other than short and smooth.
• All coat colors other than those specifically described (e.g.,Solid
black, black and tan, black and white, white and black, blue,
blue fawn, liver, and merle). Black means black without a trace
of brindle. All other patterns and markings other than specifically
described.
