The King Charles. 



This variety used 

 to consist of black 

 and tan and black 

 and white Spaniels, 

 and it is thought 

 that by the inter- 

 breeding of the two 

 specimens the Tri- 

 colour was produced. 

 The colour of the 

 King Charles now is 

 a glossy black with 

 rich mahogany tan 

 spots over the eyes 

 and on the cheeks. 

 There should also be some 

 tan on the legs and under 

 the tail. 



The Prince Charles, or 

 Tricolour. The Tricolour 

 should have a pearly-white 

 ground with glossy black 

 markings evenly distributed 

 over the body in patches. 

 The ears should be lined 

 with tan ; tan must also be 

 seen over the eyes, and some 

 on the cheeks. Under the 

 tail also tan must appear. 



The Blenheim. The Blenheim must 

 also have a pearly-white ground with 

 bright rich chestnut or ruby red markings 

 evenly distributed in patches over the body. 

 The ears and cheeks must be red, and a 

 white blaze should stretch from the nose to 

 the forehead and thence in a curve between 

 the ears. In the middle of the forehead there 

 should be, on the white blaze, a clear red 

 spot about the size of a sixpence. This is 

 called the " Blenheim spot," which, as well 

 as the profuse mane, adds greatly to the 

 beauty of this particular Toy Spaniel. Un- 

 fortunately, in a litter of Blenheims the 

 spot is often wanting. 



The Ruby Spaniel. This variety is of 

 one colour, a rich, unbroken red. The nose 

 is black. There are now some very beau- 

 tiful specimens of Ruby Spaniels, but it
