BANDIED DINMONT AND HIS TERKIERS. 73 



feather, or almost none in some instances. Height : 

 Prom about ] to 13 inches at top of shoulder. 

 Coat : A mixture of hardish and soft short hair, 

 with more or less of silky hair of a lighter colour 

 on the head, the legs and feet partaking to a 

 slight extent of the same. Colour : Either reddish 

 brown or bluish grey, or a combination of both, 

 in which case part of the body and back is bluish 

 grey, while the legs, and sometimes a large por- 

 tion, if not the entire head, inside of ears, chest, 

 and underside of tail is reddish brown, or verging 

 on a pale tan or fawn colour. Weight : From 

 13 to 221bs. Claws: White claws I positively 

 object to as being proof of in-and-in-breeding, 

 though it is not proof in itself of impurity. Yellow 

 claws are natural to reddish brown and flaxen- 

 coloured Dandies, and are, therefore, not objec- 

 tionable ; while jet black claws on those light- 

 coloured dogs are, like black eyes and black noses, 

 by far the greatest beauty spots of the Dandie 

 Dinmont race.
