Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton
307
In
those
days
two
things--and
two
things
only--were
imperatively
necessary:
pluck
and
capacity
to
get
at
the
quarry.
This
entailed
that
the
body
in
which
the
pluck
was
enshrined
must
be
small
and
most
active,
to
get
at
the
innermost
recesses
of
the
lair,
and
that
the
body
must
be
protected
by
the
best
possible
teeth
and
jaws
for
fighting,
on
a
strong
and
rather
long
neck
and
directed
by
a
most
capable
brain.
It
is
held
that
feet
turned
out
a
little
are
better
for
scrambling
up
rocks
than
perfectly
straight
Fox-terrier
like
feet.
In
addition,
it
was
useful
to
have
your
dog
of
a
colour
easy
to
see
when
in
motion,
though
no
great
weight
was
laid
upon
that
point,
as
in
the
days
before
newspapers
and
trains
men's
eyes
were
good,
as
a
rule.
Still,
the
quantity
of
white
in
the
existing
terriers
all
through
the
west
coast
of
Scotland
shows
that
it
must
have
been
rather
a
favoured
colour.
