They don't have any differences other than the fur color. You must be comparing Bull Terriers from one bloodline to the next and seeing differences in their qualities.

Hello, what I mean, for example, is that white BTs have smaller eyes and BT tricolor larger eyes. The tricolor BT have larger ears and the white BT shorter ears. The head shape is also different ... in white BT the head is short and with a more pronounced curve and in tricolor BT the head is longer and a smoother curve. I have seen these differences in the various events of BT competitions in my country Peru where all BT have pedigree. I also saw that difference in the English BT of the Ukusa line.
Could you be judging characteristics that you have noticed? I have a white BT with monster ears. I think you are looking too hard for the differences. It is genetics all the way around.
I also want to point out that 2 of the siblings to my BT are tri-colored and 3 were white. You need to have a talk with mother nature. She could straighten this out.
@toto - Maybe you're not fully understanding my explanation on the differences in colors. Let me try and explain it a bit more simplistic -
There are absolutely NO differences in the body structure or characteristics of ANY Bull Terrier based on their fur color. If a particular Bull Terrier has bigger ears or smaller eyes it has nothing to do with their fur color. The differences are due to their bloodline qualities. You can have a litter of puppies that range in several different colors and they will all share the same qualities produced from sire and dam.

Steve you had a post on here once that described the different shapes of their noses and heads that was really good. Bullies are like we all have noses, ears and heads and they have all sorts of shapes. Wouldn't it be boring if they were all identical.
On this subject, look at the photos of these 3 BT that I have placed, which have been champion dogs of the year of the UKUSA line of UK and you will see that their eyes and ears are different from the white BT. That's what I mean: long ears, slightly round eyes and long curved snout.
White BTs have small ears, smaller eyes and short curved snouts.
I have also read in publications about race, that each color of BT has marked characteristic features due to race crossings by color and subtypes.
@toto - Have you ever bred Bull Terriers and had a litter of puppies that consisted of different colors? An example would be a litter of puppies where a couple were white and others were Black Brindles and Tri-colored. The reason why I ask is because if you did you should have noticed that despite their fur coloring each of the puppies had the same appearance characteristics. A solid puppy from the litter would not be born with more of a curved snout nor would their ears be longer than their colored siblings. Again, the puppies from the litter would share the same structure and appearance based on the qualities passed down from sire and dam. Fur color doesn't change the dog's ear size, eye size, or structure of the head or snout.

But I have seen several BT brothers from the same litters and not all share the same traits. Some of them are good specimens and some are not.
In any case, the BT vary by each line or hatchery. Here in my country the Kilacabar and the Ukusa are common.
I still have the doubt because I have never seen a tricolor BT with eyes as small as a white BT or with a short snout. I have even searched for photos on the internet and I have not seen
Does this EBT have short ears and short snout? Does this one not share the same TYPE of ears and snout?
Mckenzie the White was born in Pennsylvania and Murphy the brindle was born in Pasadena, Texas. Yet they still carry a very similar build and design. No doubt there are EBT's from UK that exhibit the same characteristics. Genes decide what they will be. besides, race is not an issue with Dogs. They love their neighbors, despite the color of their fur or shape of their body.
This discussion is becoming more annoying than helpful.
"Never seen a Tri with small eyes and small stout like a White Bull Terrier" ??? Those 2 characteristics will not be different in a litter with both Tri puppies and White puppies.
Here's a couple Tri-colored Bull Terriers. Please entertain me in regard to their eyes and snout being bigger in comparison to a White Bull Terrier.
Beautiful tri's, Auggie sire is a tri her dam is a black brindle and they had a white, a with with a red ear, and red and white smut a tri and my black brindle. The pups are all identical except for the colouring.

My BT is also female of the UKUSA line.

Let's sit back and chill.
