Breed Standard

General Impression
The American Pitbull Terrier should give the impression of great strength for his size,
a well put together dog, muscular, but agile and graceful, keenly alive to his surroundings.
He should be stocky, not long-legged or racy in outline. His courage is proverbial.

Head
Medium length, deep through, broad skull, very
pronounced cheek muscles, distinct stop; and ears are
set high. Ears - Cropped or uncropped, the latter
preferred. Uncropped ears should be short and held
rose or half prick. Full drop to be penalized. Eyes -
Dark and round, low down in skull and set far apart.
No pink eyelids. Muzzle - Medium length, rounded on
upper side to fall away abruptly below eyes. Jaws well
defined. Underjaw to be strong and have biting power.
Lips close and even, no looseness. Upper teeth to meet
tightly outside lower teeth in front. Nose definitely
black.

Neck
Heavy, slightly arched, tapering from shoulders to
back of skull. No looseness of skin. Medium length.

Shoulders
Strong and muscular with blades wide and sloping.

Back
Fairly short. Slight sloping from withers to rump with
gentle short slope at rump to base of tail. Loins
slightly tucked.

Body
Well-sprung ribs, deep in rear. All ribs close
together. Forelegs set rather wide apart to permit
chest development. Chest deep and broad.

Tail
Short in comparison to size, low set, tapering to a
fine point; not curled or held over back. Not docked.

Legs
The front legs should be straight, large or round
bones, pastern upright. No resemblance of bend in
front. Hindquarters well-muscled, let down at hocks,
turning neither in nor out. Feet of moderate size,
well-arched and compact. Gait must be springy but
without roll or pace.

Coat
Short, close, stiff to the touch, and glossy.

Color
Any color, solid, parti, or patched is permissible,
but all white, more than 80 per cent white, black and
tan, and liver not to be encouraged.

Size
Height and weight should be in proportion. A height of
about 18 to 19 inches at shoulders for the male and 17
to 18 inches for the female is to be considered
preferable.

Faults
Faults to be penalized are: Dudley nose, light or pink
eyes, tail too long or badly carried, undershot or
overshot mouths.
