270 ALL ABOUT DOGS 



has been very much " boomed " the last few years, is 

 the above named, somewhere about the size, and 

 a little the shape of a Yorkshire Toy Terrier, if you 

 can imagine one with a short harsh coat instead of a 

 long silky one, and with a chin prominent as possible, 

 without showing the teeth, in fact, " under- jawed ; " 

 round nearly black eyes; lashes, and lids dark, short 

 black nose, with hair around it and the eyes; prick ears 

 carried straight up as darts, feet longish; tail docked 

 rather short ; head round and covered with harsh hair, 

 not woolly or silky; longer round eyes, nose, lips 

 (which should have a "moustache" over them,) and 

 cheeks; colour preferred, chestnut red, wiry rough, 

 and plentiful coat, but not long. Weight for the larger 

 variety nine pounds maximum; for the smaller five 

 pounds maximum. These are cobby in build, active, in- 

 telligent, hardy little fellows, very quaint, comical, and 

 self-important in their ways, which makes them at- 

 tractive, even to persons not taking much interest in 

 dogs in general; they are now being pushed forward 

 very much and have a club of their own, so they seem 

 likely to, what is called " catch on ! " 



I have secured the portrait of a grand little specimen 

 of this variety belonging to the well known judge, 

 Count H. de Bylandt.
