58 THE DOG IN HEALTH. 



This breed of terrier should be a light, " lathy " dog ; 

 he is apt to fail in back ribs, etc. In this breed the 

 stifles are apt to be rather straight and the hocks placed 

 very high. 



The Paisley Terrier. — In general appearance a long, 

 low, stoutly-built dog, with an intelligent expression, and a 

 long, flowing, flat-lying, straight coat. The appearance of 

 the head depends a good deal on the ears, which stand up 

 quite straight, are set on high, covered with long hair, and 

 well fringed. 



Coat. — Long, flat, and silky ; the longer and finer the 

 better ; a part extends from shoulder to tail. 



Color. — Various shades of blue, dark blue preferred, 

 but of a lighter shade on head and legs. 



The Clydesdale Terrier. — A long, low dog, with a large 

 head and a coat that resembles silk or suggests spun glass. 

 A fancy terrier, but hardier than the Yorkshire or Maltese. 



Ears. — Yery characteristic, small, set on high, per- 

 fectly erect in carriage, covered with long silky hair (well 

 feathered). 



Color. — Eanging from dark blue to light fawn, the 

 first preferred. 



The Maltese Terrier. — A very small (must not be over 

 six pounds) toy terrier, in which coat and color are of 

 chief importance. 



Coat. — Long, silky, with a slight wave ; woolliness and 

 curl are very objectionable. 



Color. — Pure white, suggesting spun glass ; fawn 

 patches may occur, but are highly undesirable. 



.N^ose black ; eyes full and black and not " weeping " ; 

 tail short and curled tightly over the back.
