THE TERRIER. 



THE TERRIER is a small variety of the Dog, but is of 

 high value, from the pertinacity and courage with which 

 he attacks rats and other vermin. His name of Terrier 

 is evidently given to him on account of his habit of dig- 

 ging into the earth, which he does with great rapidity 

 when in pursuit of any animal. The English Terrier is 

 a smooth-haired dog, and the best are of a black colour, 

 with tan-coloured legs, and spots on the eyebrows ; the 

 Scotch Terrier is covered with rough, wiry hair, which 

 in the Skye Terriers becomes very long.
