Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton
297
HEAD--The
skull
should
be
flat
and
rather
wider
between
the
ears
than
the
wire-hair
Fox-terrier.
The
jaw
should
be
powerful,
clean
cut
rather
deeper
and
more
punishing--giving
the
head
a
more
masculine
appearance--than
that
usually
seen
in
a
Fox-terrier.
The
stop
not
too
defined,
fair
length
from
stop
to
end
of
nose,
the
latter
being
of
a
black
colour.
EARS--The
ears
should
be
V-shaped,
small,
not
too
thin,
set
on
fairly
high,
carried
forward,
and
close
to
the
cheek.
EYES--The
eyes
should
be
small,
not
being
too
deeply
set
in
or
protruding
out
of
skull,
of
a
dark
hazel
colour,
expressive
and
indicating
abundant
pluck.
NECK--The
neck
should
be
of
moderate
length
and
thickness,
slightly
arched
and
sloping
gracefully
into
the
shoulders.
BODY--The
back
should
be
short
and
well
ribbed
up,
the
loin
strong,
good
depth,
and
moderate
width
of
chest.
The
shoulders
should
be
long,
sloping
and
well
set
back.
The
hind-quarters
should
be
strong,
thighs
muscular
and
of
good
length,
with
the
hocks
moderately
straight,
well
set
down
and
fair
amount
of
bone.
The
stern
should
be
set
on
moderately
high,
but
not
too
gaily
carried.
LEGS
AND
FEET--The
legs
should
be
straight
and
muscular,
possessing
fair
amount
of
bone
with
upright
and
powerful
pasterns.
The
feet
should
be
small,
round
and
catlike.
COAT--The
coat
should
be
wiry,
hard,
very
close
and
abundant.
COLOUR--The
colour
should
be
black
and
tan
or
black
grizzle
and
tan,
free
from
black
pencilling
on
toes.
SIZE--The
height
at
shoulders
should
be
15
inches
for
dogs,
bitches
proportionately
less.
Twenty
pounds
shall
be
considered
a
fair
average
weight
in
working
condition,
but
this
may
vary
a
pound
or
so
either
way.
