POINTS, ETC., OF VARIOUS TOY BREEDS 83 



round the neck and forepart of the shoulders and chest, 

 where it should form a frill of long, flowing hair, ex- 

 tending over the shoulders, as previously described. 

 The hindquarters, like those of a collie, should be 

 similarly clad with long hair or feathering from the top 

 of the rump to the hocks. The hair on the tail must be 

 profuse and flowing over the back. 25 points. Tail. 

 The tail is a characteristic of the breed, and should 

 be well twisted right .up from the root tightly over the 

 back, or lying flat on the back, slightly on either side, and 

 profusely covered with long hair, spreading out and 

 flowing over the back. 10 points. Colour. The fol- 

 lowing colours are admissible : White, black, blue, brown, 

 black-and-tan, fawn, sable, red, and parti-colours. The 

 white must be quite free from lemon or any colour, 

 and the blacks, blues, browns, black-and-tan, and reds 

 free from white. A few white hairs in any of the self- 

 colours shall not absolutely disqualify, but should 

 carry great weight against the dog. In parti-coloured 

 dogs, the colours should be evenly distributed on the 

 body. Whole-coloured dogs with a white foot or feet, 

 leg or legs, are decidedly objectionable, and should 

 be discouraged, and cannot compete as whole-coloured 

 specimens. In mixed classes i.e., where whole-coloured 

 and parti-coloured Pomeranians compete together the 

 preference should, if in other points they are equal, be 

 given to the whole - coloured specimens. 10 points. 

 Total 100 points.
