432 British Dogs. 



It is carried over the back or hips, but not so tightly as should be the 

 case with the pug and Pomeranian. The tail should be abundantly 

 fringed with long flowing hair. 



The subject of our woodcut is Hugh, the property of Lady Giffard, 

 Brightley Oakley, Eedhill. Hugh, when drawn, was between 4 and 5 

 years old, so just at his best, Maltese not maturing early. He has taken 

 prizes wherever shown ; and, indeed, there is now no Maltese to come

The following are measurements of dogs owned by Lady Giffard : 



Hugh : Age, 4 years ; weight, 4Jlb. ; height at shoulder, Sin. ; length 

 from nose to set on of tail, 16in. 



Lord Clyde : Weight, 51b. ; height at shoulder, Sin. ; length from nose 

 to set on of tail, 16iin. 



Mopsey III. : Age, 4 years ; weight, 4|lb. ; height at shoulder, 7|in. ; 

 length from nose to set on of tail, 15|in. 



Pixie : Age 5 years 4 months ; weight, 51b. ; height at shoulder, Sin. ; 

 length from nose to set on of tail, 16in. 



Rob Eoy (K.C.S.B., 8732) : Age, 2 years 3 months ; weight, 3flb. ; 

 height at shoulder, 7^in. ; length from nose to set on of tail, 14iin.

This dog long went by the name of rough or Scotch terrier, and many 

 dog show committees in issuing their schedules still include them under
