CLYDESDALE TERRIER. 
Points aS ACCEPTED BY THE CLYDESDALE TERRIER CLUB. 
ffead.—The skull, which is slightly domed, should be. very 
narrow between the ears, gradually widening towards the eyes, 
and tapering very slightly to the nose. It should be covered 
with long silky hair, perfectly straight, without any appearance of 
curl or waviness, and extending well beyond the nose. It should 
be particularly plentiful on the sides of the head, where it is 
joined by that from the ears, giving the head a very large and 
rather heavy appearance in proportion to the size of the dog. 
The muzzle should be very deep and powerful, tapering very 
slightly to the nose, which should be large and well spread over 
the muzzle, and must be always black. The jaws should be 
strong, with the teeth perfectly level. The eyes should be rather 
wide apart. They should be large, round, moderately full, but 
not prominent ; expressive of great intelligence, and in colour, 
various shades of brown. (1o.) 
Ears.—This is a most important point in this breed. They 
should be as small as possible, set on high, and carried perfectly 
erect. They should be covered with long silky hair, which should 
hang in a beautiful fringe down the sides of the head, joining 
that on the jaws. (Well-carried, finely-fringed ears is one of the 
greatest points of beauty in the breed, as it is also one of the 
most difficult to obtain.) A badly-carried and poorly-feathered 
ear is a serious fault in a Clydesdale Terrier. (10.) 
Neck.—The neck should be rather long and very muscular, well 
set into the shoulders, and covered with the same class of hair as 
the body. 7 
Body.—The body should be very long, deep in chest, and well 
ribbed up ; the back perfectly level, not sloping from the loins to 
the shoulder, as in the ‘“‘ Dandie”. (15.) 
Coat.—The coat should be very long, perfectly straight, and 
free from any trace of curl or waviness ; very glossy and silky in 
texture (not linty), and should be without any of the piley under- 
coat found in the Skye Terrier. (20.) 
Colour.—The colours range from dark blue to light fawn, but 
those most to be desired are the various shades of blue—dark
