DEERHOUND 



Color: Dark blue-gray, brindles, yellow and sandy, red or red-fawn, especially if 

 with black points. White is objectionable. Height: 30 in. Weight: 100 Ibs. 



In general form the deerhound should be like a greyhound, but heavier and wiry 

 coated. The head is long and the muzzle tapers decidedly toward the nose. The skull 

 should be flat with no stop. The eyes are dark brown or hazel, and convey a soft look 

 in repose, but a keen far-away expression when the dog is aroused. The ears are set 

 on high and should fall back. A prick ear is bad, and a thick ear hanging flat to the 

 head or heavily coated is an even worse fault. The neck is fairly long and very strong, 

 and should carry sufficient coat to form a mane. The chest is deep rather than broad, 

 and the tail is fairly long and carried straight down or curved when in repose. The 

 coat on the body, neck and quarters should be harsh and wiry, and about three or four 

 inches long. The Deerhound should be a shaggy dog. A woolly coat is bad. 



SHETLAND 

 SHEEPDOG 



This variety is of recent 

 origin, the questionable inten- 

 tion being to evolve a toy 

 collie. The weights aimed at 

 are from 7 to 10 Ibs., and the 

 colors and conformation 

 throughout should follow the 

 collie as nearly as possible. 

 Considerable strides have al- 

 ready been made 'in this direc- 

 tion, though the author does 

 not -regard the nature and dis- 

 position of a collie as suitable 

 for lap-dog purposes.
