The Newfoundland. 103 



" Colour. Jet black. A slight tinge of bronze, 

 or a splash of white on chest and toes is not 

 objectionable. 



" Height and Weight. Size and weight are very 

 desirable so long as symmetry is maintained. A fair 

 average height at the shoulder is 27 inches for a 

 dog, and 25 inches for a bitch, and a fair average 

 weight is loolb. and 85lb. respectively. 



"OTHER THAN BLACK. 



11 Should in all respects follow the black except in 

 colour, which may be almost any so long as it dis- 

 qualifies for the black class, but the colours most to 

 be encouraged are bronze, and black and white, 

 beauty in markings to be taken greatly into con- 

 sideration. 



"ADDENDA TO 'OTHER THAN BLACK.' 



" Dogs that have been entered in black classes 

 at shows, held under Kennel Club Rules, where 

 classes are provided for dogs ' other than black ' 

 shall not be qualified to compete in other than black 

 classes in future. 



" Black dogs that have only white toes and white 

 breasts, and white tip to tail, are to be exhibited in 

 the classes provided for ' black."
