Dogs and All about Them

As
a
result
of
the
controversies
that
were
continually
recurring
with
regard
to
the
points
of
a
typical
Dandie
Dinmont
there
was
formed
in
the
year
1876
the
Dandie
Dinmont
Terrier
Club,
with
the
object
of
settling
the
question
for
ever,
and
for
this
purpose
all
the
most
noted
breeders
and
others
interested
were
invited
to
give
their
views
upon
it.
The
standard
of
points
adopted
by
the
club
is
as
follows:--
HEAD--Strongly
made
and
large,
not
out
of
proportion
to
the
dog's
size;
the
muscles
showing
extraordinary
development,
more
especially
the
maxillary.
SKULL--Broad
between
the
ears,
getting
gradually
less
towards
the
eyes,
and
measuring
about
the
same
from
the
inner
corner
of
the
eyes
to
back
of
skull
as
it
does
from
ear
to
ear.
The
forehead
well
domed.
The
head
is
covered
with
very
soft
silky
hair,
which
should
not
be
confined
to
a
mere
topknot,
and
the
lighter
in
colour
and
silkier
it
is
the
better.
The
cheeks,
starting
from
the
ears
proportionately
with
the
skull,
have
a
gradual
taper
towards
the
muzzle,
which
is
deep
and
strongly
made,
and
measures
about
three
inches
in
length,
or
in
proportion
to
skull
as
three
is
to
five.
The
muzzle
is
covered
with
hair
of
a
little
darker
shade
than
the
topknot,
and
of
the
same
texture
as
the
feather
of
the
fore-legs.
The
top
of
the
muzzle
is
generally
bare
for
about
an
inch
from
the
black
part
of
the
nose,
the
bareness
coming
to
a
point
towards
the
eye,
and
being
about
one
inch
broad
at
the
nose.
The
nose
and
inside
of
mouth
black
or
dark
coloured.
The
teeth
very
strong,
especially
the
canine,
which
are
of
extraordinary
size
for
such
a
small
dog.
The
canines
fit
well
into
each
other,
so
as
to
give
the
greatest
available
holding
and
punishing
power,
and
the
teeth
are
level
in
front,
the
upper
ones
very
slightly
overlapping
the
under
ones.
