8o Modern Dogs. 



Manchester. Here are a few of their names : Old 

 Gass, Barrow's Pink, Handley's Saff and Colonel, 

 Laing's Charlie, Kade, and Jerry, Lacy's Queen II., 

 General, and Belcher, Justice's Viper and Vulcan, 

 and innumerable others of a true quality. 



" I will now lay down what I deem to be the true 

 points by which the quality of a black and tan 

 should be judged, taking a dog weighing from lylb. 

 to i81b. 



"Body. Well formed and short. Girth of chest 

 about 2oin. Back nicely arched, falling gently to 

 root of tail. 



"Head. In length, from occipital bone to tip of 

 nose, yin. to Sin. ; skull, between the ears, almost 

 entirely flat, with a slight hollow up the centre 

 between the eyes, and no material drop at the eyes. 



" Eyes. Small, and set well together, neither too 

 far apart nor too near ; colour, dark brown. 



" Ears. My opinion on this point is very decided, 

 although I am aware that many fanciers do not share 

 it. I admire a scientifically cropped ear, well up, 

 and pretty long. This gives a sharp bright appear- 

 ance to this particular terrier. 



" Neck. Not too long, and slightly arched, and 

 betraying no coarseness at the point at which it 

 joins the lower jaw. 



(l Feet. Small feet, with the toes well together.
