Dogs and All about Them

The
same
description
applies
to
the
drop-eared
type,
except
that
the
ears
in
repose,
instead
of
being
carried
erect,
fall
evenly
on
each
side
of
the
head.
When,
however,
the
dog
is
excited,
the
ears
are
pricked
forward,
in
exactly
the
same
fashion
as
those
of
the
Airedale
Terrier.
This
is
an
important
point,
a
houndy
carriage
of
ear
being
a
decided
defect.
The
drop-eared
variety
is
usually
the
heavier
and
larger
dog
of
the
two;
and
for
some
reason
does
not
show
the
quality
and
breeding
of
its
neighbour.
Lately,
however,
there
has
evidently
been
an
effort
made
to
improve
the
drop-eared
type,
with
the
result
that
some
very
excellent
dogs
have
recently
appeared
at
the
important
shows.
Probably
Mr.
James
Pratt
has
devoted
more
time
and
attention
to
the
Skye
Terrier
than
any
other
now
living
fancier,
though
the
names
of
Mr.
Kidd
and
Mr.
Todd
are
usually
well
known.
Mr.
Pratt's
Skyes
were
allied
to
the
type
of
terrier
claiming
to
be
the
original
Skye
of
the
Highlands.
The
head
was
not
so
large,
the
ears
also
were
not
so
heavily
feathered,
as
is
the
case
in
the
Skye
of
to-day,
and
the
colours
were
very
varied,
ranging
from
every
tint
between
black
and
white.
