Nearly all of today's Mullins' Feists can trace their ancestry to these first three dogs. The Mullins' Feist was recognized by U.K.C. on November 1, 1998. The body is slightly longer than tall. Regardless of the size of the individual dog, the legs must be long enough to allow the dog to move quickly and with agility in rough terrain. The head is moderately broad, with a flat skull, a moderate stop, and a strong muzzle that is slightly shorter than the skull.
Ears are drop and set at the outside edges of the skull.
The tail is straight, set on as a natural extension of the top line and may be natural or docked. The coat is short and dense. Colors are predominately solid, although white points are allowed. The Mullins' Feist should be evaluated as a working dog, and exaggerations or faults should be penalized in proportion to how much they interfere with the dog's ability to work. Scars should neither be penalized nor regarded as proof of a dog's working abilities.
