158 THE BOOK OF THE DOG. 



Eyes and Nose. Small, dark, and sparkling, when visible, though they are usually hidden 

 by the superabundance of hair on the head. Nose black. 



Jaws must not be broad or heavy, but rather deficient in power, though fine in outline. 



Ears. Either cut or uncut, if the latter, fine, and semi-erect. 



Body. Short and compact, with rather wide chest, in comparison with his size (the two 

 former points are important as differing from the Skye Terrier), and covered with silky hair 



Legs. Straight, placed under the body, and well feathered with silky hair. 



Feet. Long and feathered. 



Tail. Cut, and carried straight. 



Coat. Long, glossy, silky, and quite flat, not curly. 



Colour. On the head a beautiful golden tan, which gets much darker on the ears ; back 

 a dark blue, inclined to silver, the latter colour extending over the other portions of the body, 

 except the legs, which should be the same colour as the head a golden tan. 



General Appearance. A pretty, fragile little dog, but one quite incapable of much out- 

 door exercise, and of delicate constitution.
