Dogs and All about Them

However
that
may
be,
there
are
now
two
established
varieties,
the
black
and
the
white
and
black.
There
are
also
bronze-coloured
dogs,
but
they
are
rare
and
are
not
favoured.
It
is
stated,
however,
that
puppies
of
that
colour
are
generally
the
most
promising
in
all
other
respects.
The
black
variety
of
the
Newfoundland
is
essentially
black
in
colour;
but
this
does
not
mean
that
there
may
be
no
other
colour,
for
most
black
Newfoundlands
have
some
white
marks,
and
these
are
not
considered
objectionable,
so
long
as
they
are
limited
to
white
hairs
on
the
chest,
toes,
or
the
tip
of
the
tail.
In
fact,
a
white
marking
on
the
chest
is
said
to
be
typical
of
the
true
breed.
Any
white
on
the
head
or
body
would
place
the
dog
in
the
other
than
black
variety.
The
black
colour
should
preferably
be
of
a
dull
jet
appearance
which
approximates
to
brown.
In
the
other
than
black
class,
there
may
be
black
and
tan,
bronze,
and
white
and
black.
The
latter
predominates,
and
in
this
colour,
beauty
of
marking
is
very
important.
The
head
should
be
black
with
a
white
muzzle
and
blaze,
and
the
body
and
legs
should
be
white
with
large
patches
of
black
on
the
saddle
and
quarters,
with
possibly
other
small
black
spots
on
the
body
and
legs.
Apart
from
colour,
the
varieties
should
conform
to
the
same
standard.
The
head
should
be
broad
and
massive,
but
in
no
sense
heavy
in
appearance.
The
muzzle
should
be
short,
square,
and
clean
cut,
eyes
rather
wide
apart,
deep
set,
dark
and
small,
not
showing
any
haw;
ears
small,
with
close
side
carriage,
covered
with
fine
short
hair
(there
should
be
no
fringe
to
the
ears),
expression
full
of
intelligence,
dignity,
and
kindness.
