Dogs and All about Them

There
is
one
little
matter
in
breeding
Dandies
that
is
generally
a
surprise
to
the
novice,
and
that
is
the
very
great
difference
in
the
appearance
of
the
young
pups
and
the
adult
dog.
The
pups
are
born
quite
smooth-haired,
the
peppers
are
black
and
tan
in
colour,
and
the
mustards
have
a
great
deal
of
black
in
their
colouring.
The
topknot
begins
to
appear
sometimes
when
the
dog
is
a
few
months
old,
and
sometimes
not
till
he
is
a
year
or
so
old.
It
is
generally
best
to
mate
a
mustard
to
a
pepper,
to
prevent
the
mustards
becoming
too
light
in
colour,
though
two
rich-coloured
mustards
may
be
mated
together
with
good
results.
It
is
a
rather
curious
fact
that
when
two
mustards
are
mated
some
of
the
progeny
are
usually
pepper
in
colour,
though
when
two
peppers
are
mated
there
are
very
seldom
any
mustard
puppies.
The
popularity
of
the
Dandie
has
now
lasted
for
nearly
a
hundred
years,
and
there
is
no
reason
why
it
should
not
last
for
another
century,
if
breeders
will
only
steer
clear
of
the
exaggeration
of
show
points,
and
continue
to
breed
a
sound,
active,
and
hardy
terrier.
