Ok im getting a pup he is white fawn but I had a question just on this situation if any could help.. if the puppy and I looked at the father and both have longer heads is that a bad thing or is it bad genetics thank you and let me know if that is natural in some bull terriers
Many of the Bull Terrier I see here in America have long narrow heads with slender and straight muzzles. As far as it being a "Bad" thing I guess that would depend only on the owner of the BT and what their expectations are within the structure and conformation of the particular dog. Obviously a BT with this type of structure wouldn't pan out too well at a conformation show but that doesn't mean he's a bad dog and wouldn't make a great pet. If you're looking for a BT puppy that emulates the breed standards I recommend getting familiar with the proper way in which they should look. Although AKC depicts the breed standard they have left it fairly undefined in many ways. However, I have to credit the BTCA on the standards they wrote which provide details in every aspect. I think it's a good read and one every BT owner and future owner should read and study. I have attached the BTCA Breed Standards for your reading pleasure.
Do you ever think in the future the breed standard will change? Not saying that it ever should, as I love the way the standard looks, but it still makes me a bit nervous.
a thin narrow head can cause teeth elingment problems-most commonly inverted canines that can range from, not to bad to severe enough to cause pain and discomfort to the dog.
the canines can actually grow up into the mouth-that is why they call for a good "width" of muzzle.
though, that doesn't always happen, such as the case with my girl Chimera, she has quite narrow fac with lack of fill, and her teeth grew into a nice bite, but good bites run in her genes, he mother and father and grandparents had good bites (something her breeder mentioned to me)

His back is so short and his neck so massive, incredible is all I can say.
