FOREQUARTERS
The forequarters are really what give the English Bulldog a somewhat Herculean look. Shoulders are wide and brawny and slant outward. The forelegs are short and stout and somewhat bowed in appearance. However, the actual bones should not be curved. The feet should sit firmly and may be out-turned very slightly.
HINDQUARTERS
The hind legs should be longer than the forelegs to raise the loins above the shoulders. Hocks are somewhat bent and turn outward slightly through the foot. The tail should be low and tapered and can be straight or screwed, but never curly.
