The Black and Tan Terrier. Si 



The hind feet should be cat-shaped, but the fore feet 

 should be rather hare-footed, and come to a point in 

 the centre. 



" Tail. The tail should be set on a level with the 

 height of the shoulder, and carried straight or only 

 slightly curved. It should be thick at the base, and 

 taper gradually to the end, measuring from Sin. 

 to gin. 



11 Coat. The coat should be short and fine in 

 texture. I have invariably found that when the 

 throat is entirely covered there is a tendency to a 

 heavy coarse coat. I therefore do not object to 

 lack of hair on the throat, as I consider it a distinct 

 characteristic of the breed. I look for a fine silky 

 coat of raven black, with a brilliant glossy appearance. 



" Colour. A rich mahogany tan, of as uniform a 

 shade as possible. Tan spots on the eyes and on 

 each cheek. The tan on the muzzle should begin 

 at the nostril, and continue by the ridge of the nose 

 and then fall under the jaw. The division between 

 this and the pea mark on the cheek should be 

 decided and distinct. The paw mark on the forelegs 

 should be equally pronounced, and each toe should 

 be nicely pencilled. The colour under the tail 

 should be as nearly as possible of the same shade 

 of tan as the other marks, and the tail should cover 

 it almost entirely. There should be no breeching
