Head
Weight
Standard
General
Large in proportion to the body and square. Deeply sunken between the eyes, extending up the forehead. Moderately wrinkled. Jaw muscles large. Lower jaw turned up and protruding. Bite squared, but undershot. Large tusks. Eyes low and wide set. Forehead flat. Muzzle short and broad. The muzzle should be 1/4 to 1/3 the total length of the head. Flews semi-pendulous. Ears may be either rose or button and should be set high and wide. Dewlap will have two folds.
Body
Neck should be short and nearly wide as the head. Shoulders very broad and muscular. Front legs may be slightly bowed or straight. Ribs well-rounded and chest wide and deep. Back short, slightly roached and strong. Belly well tucked up. Thighs very muscular. Rear legs neither pigeon-toed or cow hocked. Fluid movement is of the highest concern.
Coat
Short, close and medium fine.
Color
Brindles (red, grey, or black), Brindle spots on white, Solid white, Black, Fawn, (fawn variations) solid or with white. A lack of pigment on the nose and the skin around the eyes are undesirable and considered a cosmetic ffault. Pigments of black, liver and gray are acceptable.
Tail
The tail on the Renascence Bulldogge is straight or docked & kink free. If the tail is left it should reach to the hock or just above. It is acceptable under the breed standard to leave the tail natural or to dock it with no preference given to either. Spike tails & kinked tails are also acceptable tail types under the breed standard, but they rate behind the docked or straight kink free tail type in order of preference. Kinked tails on puppies should be docked to maintain a clean look to the dog. A screw tail is considered a structural fault.
