Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton

The
hocks
should
be
bent,
and
the
thighs
very
muscular,
and
the
feet
strong,
small
and
thickly
covered
with
short
hair,
the
fore
feet
being
larger
than
the
hind
ones.
TAIL--Should
be
about
7
inches
long,
never
docked,
carried
with
a
slight
bend
and
often
gaily.
COAT--Should
be
rather
short
(about
2
inches),
intensely
hard
and
wiry
in
texture,
and
very
dense
all
over
the
body.
SIZE--From
15
lb.
to
20
lb.;
the
best
weight
being
as
near
as
possible
18
lb.
for
dogs,
and
16
lb.
for
bitches
when
in
condition
for
work.
COLOUR--Steel
or
iron
grey,
black
brindle,
brown
brindle,
grey
brindle,
black,
sandy
and
wheaten.
White
markings
are
objectionable,
and
can
only
be
allowed
on
the
chest
and
to
a
small
extent.
GENERAL
APPEARANCE--The
face
should
wear
a
very
sharp,
bright
and
active
expression,
and
the
head
should
be
carried
up.
The
dog
(owing
to
the
shortness
of
his
coat)
should
appear
to
be
higher
on
the
leg
than
he
really
is;
but
at
the
same
time
he
should
look
compact
and
possessed
of
great
muscle
in
his
hind-quarters.
In
fact,
a
Scottish
Terrier,
though
essentially
a
terrier,
cannot
be
too
powerfully
put
together,
and
should
be
from
about
9
inches
to
12
inches
in
height.
SPECIAL
FAULTS:
MUZZLE--Either
under
or
over
hung.
EYES--Large
or
light-coloured.
EARS--Large,
round
at
the
points
or
drop.
It
is
also
a
fault
if
they
are
too
heavily
covered
with
hair.
LEGS--Bent,
or
slightly
bent,
and
out
at
elbows.
COAT--Any
silkiness,
wave
or
tendency
to
curl
is
a
serious
blemish,
as
is
also
an
open
coat.
SIZE--Specimens
of
over
20
lb.
should
be
discouraged.
