Dogs and All about Them

In
every
case
a
black
muzzle
is
indispensable,
also
black
points
to
the
ears,
with
trousers,
tail
and
feathering
a
somewhat
lighter
shade
than
the
body.
There
is
considerable
divergence
of
opinion
as
to
the
penalisation
of
what,
in
other
breeds,
is
known
as
a
"Dudley"
nose,
but
on
this
point
there
must
be
some
difficulty
at
shows;
in
the
Pekinese
the
colour
of
the
nose
varies
in
a
remarkable
way,
especially
in
the
case
of
the
bitches.
For
instance,
a
pinkish
tinge
was
always
visible
on
the
nose
of
Goodwood
Meh
before
the
birth
of
her
puppies;
but
it
resumed
its
normal
colour
when
the
puppies
were
a
few
weeks
old.
As
a
representative
type,
Chu-Erh
of
Alderbourne
resembles
most
nearly
the
old
Goodwood
dogs.
He
has
the
same
square,
cobby
appearance,
broad
chest,
bowed
legs,
profuse
feather,
and
large,
lustrous
eyes--points
which
are
frequently
looked
for
in
vain
nowadays--and
his
breeder
and
owner
may
well
be
proud
of
him.
The
Pekinese
differs
from
the
Japanese
dog
in
that
it
appears
to
be
far
stronger
in
constitution,
and
withstands
the
changes
of
the
English
climate
with
much
greater
ease;
in
fact,
they
are
as
hardy,
under
healthy
conditions,
as
any
English
breed,
and
the
only
serious
trouble
seems
to
be
the
weakness
which
is
developing
in
the
eyes.
Small
abscesses
frequently
appear
when
the
puppies
are
a
few
months
old,
and,
although
they
may
not
affect
the
sight,
they
almost
inevitably
leave
a
bluish
mark,
while
in
some
cases
the
eye
itself
becomes
contracted.
Whether
this
is
one
of
the
results
of
in-breeding
it
is
difficult
to
say,
and
it
would
be
of
interest
to
know
whether
the
same
trouble
is
met
with
in
China.
