Toy Black and Tan Tepfieps and Toy 

 Blue Terpiers 



These are essentially pet dogs, and are miniatures of the 

 Manchester terrier. Their eyes, which are more prominent 

 than those of the true black and tan, are most generally 

 found to weep. The smaller and lighter they are in 

 weight, the more valuable they are ; about three and a 

 half pounds is a good weight for them ; at all events, they 

 should not weigh over five pounds. 



They are generally very denuded of hair, which is said 

 to be a proof of high breeding, and they are extremely liable 

 to baldness. The blue or slate-coloured are often entirelj'' 

 destitute of hair. If very small, no attempt at breeding from 

 them should be attempted. They are very affectionate and 

 game, and good ratters. They suffer fearfully from the cold, 

 and in the cold weather are in a perpetual state of shiver. 



Toy terriers should be full grown from ten to eleven 

 months old. They are very amenable to teaching and can 

 be taught many tricks. They should never have bones 

 given to them, nor milk, nor sweet things ; a little tea is 

 not only good for them, but they are very fond of it.
