694 The Dog Book 



DESCRIPTIVE PARTICULARS 



Head. Should be much like that of a drop-eared Skye in miniature, 

 but rather shorter and thicker in muzzle, not lean nor snipey. 



Ears. Moderately long, set on rather low, and covered with long silky 

 hair, mingling with that on neck and shoulders. 



Eyes. Very dark and piercing, bright and alert in expression. 



Nose. Pure black and shiny. 



Legs. Rather short than long, with fine bone, well feathered through- 

 out: legginess is to be avoided. Feet small and covered with hair, 



Body and shape. Shoulders sloping and not too wide. Back short 

 and cobby, rather than lanky in shape. 



Tail. Short, well-feathered, particularly toward the end, and grace- 

 fully carried over the back; its end resting on the hindquarters and side. 



Coat. Long straight and silky, free from woolliness or curl; when in 

 form should nearly reach the ground at the sides. Very profuse on neck, 

 shoulders and chest. 



Colour. Pure white without shade or tint. 



Weight. Not to exceed 12 pounds. The smaller the better, other 

 points being correct. 



General appearance. That of a bright, sprightly, active dog of very 

 taking character.
