Dogs and All about Them

Another
factor
which
has
had
a
bad
effect
is
the
belief,
which
has
become
much
too
prevalent,
that
a
great
deal
of
"faking"
has
been
practised
in
the
past,
and
that
it
has
been
so
cleverly
performed
as
to
deceive
the
most
observant
judge,
whereby
a
very
artificial
standard
of
quality
has
been
obtained.
The
standard
of
points
by
which
the
breed
should
be
judged
is
as
follows:--
GENERAL
APPEARANCE--A
terrier
calculated
to
take
his
own
part
in
the
rat
pit,
and
not
of
the
Whippet
type.
HEAD--The
head
should
be
long,
flat,
and
narrow,
level
and
wedge-shaped,
without
showing
cheek
muscles;
well
filled
up
under
the
eyes,
with
tapering,
tightly-lipped
jaws
and
level
teeth.
EYES--The
eyes
should
be
very
small,
sparkling,
and
bright,
set
fairly
close
together
and
oblong
in
shape.
NOSE--Black.
EARS--The
correct
carriage
of
ears
is
a
debatable
point
since
cropping
has
been
abolished.
Probably
in
the
large
breed
the
drop
ear
is
correct,
but
for
Toys
either
erect
or
semi-erect
carriage
of
the
ear
is
most
desirable.
NECK
AND
SHOULDERS--The
neck
should
be
fairly
long
and
tapering
from
the
shoulders
to
the
head,
with
sloping
shoulders,
the
neck
being
free
from
throatiness
and
slightly
arched
at
the
occiput.
CHEST--The
chest
should
be
narrow
but
deep.
BODY--The
body
should
be
moderately
short
and
curving
upwards
at
the
loin;
ribs
well
sprung,
back
slightly
arched
at
the
loin
and
falling
again
at
the
joining
of
the
tail
to
the
same
height
as
the
shoulders.
FEET--The
feet
should
be
more
inclined
to
be
cat-
than
hare-footed.
TAIL--The
tail
should
be
of
moderate
length
and
set
on
where
the
arch
of
the
back
ends;
thick
where
it
joins
the
body,
tapering
to
a
point,
and
not
carried
higher
than
the
back.
COAT--The
coat
should
be
close,
smooth,
short
and
glossy.
