DANDIE DINMONT TERRIER. 
Points aS DEFINED AND ADOPTED By THE DANDIE DINMONT 
TERRIER CLUB. 
Head.—Strongly made and large, not out of proportion to the 
dog’s size, the muscles showing extraordinary development, more 
especially the maxillary. Skull broad between the ears, getting 
gradually less towards the eyes, and measuring about the same 
from the inner corner of the eye to back of skull as it does from 
ear to ear. The forehead well domed. The head is covered with 
very soft silky hair, which should not be confined to a mere top- 
knot, and the lighter in colour and silkier it is the better. The 
cheeks, starting from the ears proportionately with the skull, have 
a gradual taper towards the muzzle, which is deep and strongly 
made, and measures about three inches in length, or in proportion 
to skull as three is to five. The muzzle is covered with hair of a 
little darker shade than the topknot, and of the same texture as 
the feather of the fore legs. The top of the muzzle is generally 
bare for about an inch from the back part of the nose, the bare- 
ness coming to a point towards the eye, and being about one inch 
broad at the nose. The nose and inside of mouth black or dark 
coloured. The teeth very strong, especially the canine, which are 
of extraordinary size for such a small dog. The canines fit well 
into each other, so as to give the greatest available holding and 
punishing power, and the teeth are level in front, the upper ones 
very slightly overlapping the under ones. [Many of the finest 
specimens have a “‘swine mouth,” which is very objectionable, 
but it is not so great an objection as the protrusion of the under 
jaw.]
