Dogs and All about Them

"I
trust
my
readers
understand
that
the
West
Highland
White
Terriers
are
not
White
Aberdeens,
not
a
new
invention,
but
have
a
most
respectable
ancestry
of
their
own.
I
add
the
formal
list
of
points,
but
this
is
the
work
of
show
bench
experts--and
it
will
be
seen
from
what
I
have
written
that
I
do
not
agree
with
them
on
certain
particulars.
There
should
be
feather
to
a
fair
degree
on
the
tail,
but
if
experts
will
not
allow
it,
put
rosin
on
your
hands
and
pull
the
hair
out--and
the
rosin
will
win
your
prize.
The
eye
should
not
be
sunk,
which
gives
the
sulky
look
of
the
'Scotch'
Terrier,
but
should
be
full
and
bright,
and
the
expression
friendly
and
confiding.
The
skull
should
not
be
narrow
anywhere.
It
is
almost
impossible
to
get
black
nails
in
a
dog
of
pure
breed
and
the
black
soon
wears
off
the
pad
work,
so
folk
must
understand
this.
On
two
occasions
recently
I
have
shown
dogs,
acknowledged,
as
dogs,
to
be
quite
first
class,
'but,
you
see,
they
are
not
the
proper
type.'
The
judges
unfortunately
have
as
yet
their
eyes
filled
with
the
'Scottish'
terrier
type
and
prefer
mongrels
that
show
it
to
the
real
'Simon
Pure.'"
