52 DOGS 



Docility and intelligence are highly developed in a bull 

 terrier.' 



Chest wide. Pure white is the favourite colour. There 

 are many very good dogs, called patch dogs, but they 

 are not liked, and in any case the colour should be whole, 

 according to most judges, and unmixed ; if not white they 

 should be either red, red smut, fawn or fawn smut, fallow

 The coat short and close, hardish in texture, but softish

 loin and back strong ; hind quarters strong and muscalar ; 

 the hind legs strong and with a well-let-down hock ; the 

 tail fine, taper, string-like, but not bare, and carried gaily.

 and conical, well-domed skull, with strong jaws and teeth ; 

 nose short like a pointer's ; cheeks broad, tapering very 

 gently towards the muzzle, which is ' long, deep, and very 

 powerful,' and thinly clad in harder hair ; ears large and
