Italian Greyhounds, another old-fashioned variety of toy dog, should not exceed 12 lbs. 

 in weight, but in my opinion are better if they are some pounds less. Much like miniature 

 greyhounds in shape and build, they are elegant, graceful little creatures, very sensitive to cold. 

 Shades of fawn, cream, or French gray are most common ; but some are slate-blue, chestnut-red, 

 and other tints. Of late years the breed has met with more encouragement, and there is less 

 fear of its being allowed to die out. 



Griffons Brusselois have been greatly taken up the last tew years. They are something 

 like Yorkshire toy terriers in size and shape, but with a shortish harsh coat, generally of some 

 shade of reddish brown, very short face, small shining dark eyes, heavy under-jaw , short thick 

 body, and an altogether comical appearance. Imported specimens, particularly before reaching 

 maturity, are often difficult to rear. 



The Afrk \\ Sand-dog occasionally seen in this country (mostly at shows) is remarkable 

 for being entirely hairless, except a i'cw hairs of a bristly character on the top of the head and 

 a slight tuft at the end of the tail ;
