Page 7 Proposal for a New Standard Examination Procedure of the White Bull Terrier By Ron Lukins Step 1: Slowly approach the White Bull Terrier exhibit. Don t look at him/her directly in the eye, and exude a professional judging demeanor. Step 2: Slowly approach the White Bull Terrier exhibit mouth after the handler places the death grip needed to contain the exhibit in a 4ft 3 volume. Step 3: Look at the bite within a 58 nanosecond time frame. Step 4: Touch the testicles on a male or pinch the right hind side rear to invoke the normal stop-drop and roll response. Step 5: Now perform your physical examination. Begin with the head and neck, topline and especially the underline. Step 6: Proceed to evaluate the ribs, rear end and balance. Step 7: Perform a deep body massage to invoke a standing response. Step 8: Proceed as usual with the down & back and the go around.
