BELGIAN SHEEPDOG 



CC'DF: Reddish-black, if possible with black muzzle. Height: 21 in. Weight: 54 Ibs. 



A very intelligent and rustic dog built to withstand the changeable climate of 

 Belgium. His sagacity, activity and enduring strength and dauntless courage fit him 

 peculiarly as a protector for his Belgian master. The head is long, skull flat, not too 

 broad, and moderate "stop." The eyes are brown, with an inquiring intelligent ex- 

 pression, The ears should be stiff and carried erect, and triangular in shape, neck 

 rather long, chest broad and not too deep, back straight, broad, strong, and of medium 

 length. The tail is carried low in repose and should never be curled over the back, 

 and is never docked. There are three varieties as to coat : A. Long and straight on 

 the body, smooth on the head, with the inside of the ears protected by dense hair, 

 and with considerable coat round the frill or mane. Forelegs well feathered and very 

 profuse tail. B. Smooth on the body, head and legs, little longer round the neck, and 

 slight feathering on the tail. C. A hard, dry and bristling wire-coat of the stand-off 

 variety, more or less the same length all over the body, and with a bushy tail. 



SCHIPPERKE 



Color: All black. 



Height: 12 in. 



Weight : 12 Ibs. 



This is an excellent little 

 watch dog, very active and 

 always on the alert, very 

 courageous, exceedingly in- 

 quisitive, and a good vermin 

 dog. The head is foxy, 

 eyes dark brown, oval, and 

 keen. Ears quite erect, 

 small, triangular and set on 

 high, and very mobile. The 

 body is short and thick-set, 

 chest broad, with straight 

 back and powerful loins. 

 He has no tail. His coat 

 should be dense and harsh on the body, very profuse around the neck, forming a mane 

 and frill, but short and smooth on the ears and head.
