An anonymous correspondent of the Canine World, who takes

Colour.—Black or liver. A large white patch on chest to be 
penalised, but a few white hairs on chest not to be considered any 
detriment in the points of the dog. Nose black, or in liver- 
coloured specimens, black or liver. (5.)

narrow, but in due proportion to the size of dog, and with as little

exhibiting great intelligence. Ears (5.) Small, set on rather low, 
lying close to the head, and covered all over with small curls. 
(20.) 
*  Coat.—Should be one mass of short, close, crisp curls from

portion to its size and importance. (25.)
