164 OUR HOME PETS 



dition to all this, he is one of the handsomest 

 of our four-footed pets, whether he is liver- 

 colored, with or without white, or white and 

 black. His weight should be about twelve 

 pounds, his legs not too long, but well " feath- 

 ered," and it is the fashion to cut his tail. 

 He has a beautiful head, and bright, intelli- 

 gent eyes. No one who selects a cocker span- 

 iel for a pet will be apt to regret it.
