160 Modern Dogs. 



Grand Total 100. 



The above description has not been received 

 with any great degree of favour in some quarters, 

 still I consider it, together with the scale of points, 

 worth printing here. At any rate, they give some 

 amount of completeness to what has been written 

 on the subject. Without going into any minute 

 criticisms of the matter the club has put together, 

 I may take exception to what is said about the 

 feet being moderately large, and also their parti- 

 culars as to the tail. Personally I believe a skilful 

 operator can reduce the stern of a puppy in such 

 a manner as to make it an absolute impossibility 

 for even an expert to tell whether this shortening 

 be natural or otherwise, and we must not forget 

 that natural " bob-tails " are less common than the 

 artificial production.
