grey, sooty or dark hairs. The tail should be 
very dark blue or black. 
From the above description it will be 
seen that the Clydesdale differs very materi- 
ally from the Skye Terrier, although to the 
inexperienced eye the two breeds bear a 
great resemblance the one to the other.

The Clydesdale Terrier is rare, at any 
rate as regards the show bench; there are 
never more than two or three at most 
exhibited south of the Tweed, even when 
classes are provided at the big shows and 
championships offered, thus indicating that 
the breed is not a popular one ; and amongst 
those kennels who do show there exists at

the present time but one dog who can lay 
claim to the title of champion ; this unique 
specimen is the property of Sir Claud 
Alexander, Bart., of Ballochmyle, and is 
known under the name of Wee Wattie. 
There are of course several fanciers in 
Scotland, among whom may be mentioned 
Mr. G. Shaw, of Glasgow, who is the owner

of several fine examples of the breed, 
including the beautiful San Toy and the 
equally beautiful Mozart. 
As with the Skye Terrier, it seems a 
matter of difficulty to produce a perfect

Clydesdale, and until the breed is taken up 
with more energy it is improbable that 
first class dogs will make an appearance in 
the show ring. A perfect Clydesdale should 
figure as one of the most elegant of the 
terrier breed ; his lovely silken coat, the 
golden brown hue of his face fringe, paws 
and legs, his well pricked and feathery ear, 
and his generally smart appearance should 
combine to form a picture exciting general 
admiration. 
The one great obstacle which deters dog 
lovers from possessing the Clydesdale is 
the difficulty of keeping the dog in perfect 
condition; but the objection is fancied 
rather than real. The breed is strong in 
constitution, and frequent exercise, regular 
and wholesome food, and perfect cleanliness 
will ensure good health. For all long- 
haired dogs a meat diet is decidedly the 
best, and the meat should be well cooked. 
Sea air is not good for them. It is inclined 
to cause eczema, which means scratching, 
and a Clydesdale, a Skye, or a Yorkshire 
Terrier should never be allowed to scratch. 
Many owners of these breeds keep a pair 
of stockings of linen or cotton, which they 
tie over the back feet whenever there is a 
disposition to scratch. When the coat is 
washed, as it should be at least once a
