452 THE AMERICAN BOOK OF THE DOG. 



In connection with the subject of standard, should be 

 mentioned some of the most common faults noticed in speci- 

 mens of the breed exhibited at our shows. The most im- 

 portant of these are : Too round skull (apple-head), pointed 

 muzzle ; silver-colored body instead of blue; fawn-colored 

 head and legs instead of tan; mixed-coated body (made of 

 two or more colors); curly or wavy coat; lack of anima- 

 tion in expression; natural drop instead of semi-erect ears; 

 roached back; light or "dudley" nose; uneven mouth; 

 long hair on ears; hind legs heavily coated below hocks; 

 too prominent eyes, and crocked front legs. All these, and 

 some other faults, should be guarded against in breeding or 

 selecting Yorkshire Terriers ; but to find a specimen technic- 

 ally up to the established standard is a practical impossi- 

 bility. 



As most of the future prize and other good dogs of this 

 breed, in America, may reasonably be expected to spring 

 at least in part from the best-known winners which 

 have been exhibited at our shows, a brief summary of the 

 principal first-prize winners of late years is here given, as 

 far as we are familiar with them, and most of which are 

 well known to the fancy. They are as follows : 



Champion Bradford Harry, Bradford Lill, Bradford 

 Leah, and Lancashire Ben ; Campbell's Prince, Dolly, 

 Spink, Sir Colin, and Dandy; North Fields Kennels' Harry,
