5. Hindquarters.—Should be strong and mus- 
cular, quite free from droop or crouch ; the thighs 
long and powerful; hocks near the ground, the 
dog standing well up on them like a Fox-hound, 
and not straight in the stifle. 
6. Stern.—Should be set on rather high, and 
carried gaily, but not over the back or curled.

As regards Colour, white should predominate ; 
brindle, red, or liver markings are objectionable. 
Otherwise this point is of little or no importance. 
9. Symmetry, Size, and Character.—The dog 
must present a general gay, lively, and active ap- 
pearance ; boneand strength in asmall compass are 
essentials ; but this must not be taken to mean 
DALBY.

It should be of good strength, anything approach- 
ing a “‘ pipe-stopper ”’ tail being especially objec- 
tionable. 
7. Legs and Feet.—The Legs viewed in any 
direction must be straight, showing little or no 
appearance of an ankle in front. They should be 
strong in bone throughout, short and straight to 
pastern. Both fore- and hind-legs should be 
carried straight forward in travelling, the stifles 
not turned outwards. The elbows should hang 
perpendicular to the body, working free of the 
side. 
The Feet should be round, compact, and not 
large. The soles hard and tough. The toes 
moderately arched, and turned neither in nor out. 
8. Coat.—Should be straight, flat, smooth, hard, 
dense, and abundant. The belly and under side 
of the thighs should not be bare.

that a Fox-terrier should be cloggy, or in any way 
coarse—speed and endurance must be looked to 
as well as power, and the symmetry of the Fox- 
hound taken as a model. The terrier, like the 
hound, must on no account be leggy, nor must he 
be too short in the leg. He should stand like a 
cleverly-made hunter, covering a lot of ground, yet 
with a short back, as before stated. He will then 
attain the highest degree of propelling power, 
together with the greatest length of stride that is 
compatible with the length of his body. Weight 
is not a certain criterion of a terrier’s fitness for 
his work—general shape, size and contour are 
the main points; and if a dog can gallop and 
stay, and follow his fox up a drain, it matters 
little what his weight is to a pound or so, though, 
roughly speaking, it may be said he should not 
scale over twenty pounds in show condition.
