POINTS IN JUDGING POINTERS. 



413 



The Stern short, and thick at root, but gradually tapering towards the tip. It must not 

 be set on too low down, and should be carried straight out from the back. 



The Coat should be soft, but at the same time weather-resisting. 



Colour is a point which has been already discussed above. Though many judges prefer 

 to ignore the question of colour, we are certainly of the opinion that liver-and-whites and lemon- 

 and-whites are by far the most preferable on the show bench, if only on account of their beauty. 



In General Appearance the Pointer should show every evidence of a combination of strength 

 and refinement. A coarse-looking dog should be avoided, as also should a light-boned one, for 

 reasons already given. 



According to custom we append a
