Although it is a short dog (standing about 12 to 15"), the Bulldog is wide and stocky, weighing 50 to 55 lbs., giving an overall appearance of great stability. The thick body is matched by a broad head with a short, pug muzzle ending with a wide, black nose. The wide, up-turned lower jaw projects noticeably in front of the upper jaw. The floppy flaps of skin that hang past the lower jaw are called 'flews' or 'chops'.
