like retrievers; and /@uf/y, when the hair is 
combed out, to give much the appearance of 
fleecy wool. A part of the body, legs, head, 
and tail is usually shorn. 
BULL-TERRIERS are now bred with small 
natural drooping ears, and should have long 
wedge-shaped heads, fine coats, and long 
tails. There is also a toy variety, which 
hitherto has suffered from round skulls and 
tulip ears, but is rapidly improving. I have 
-bred many as small as 3 lbs. in weight. In 
each variety the colour preferred is pure 
white, without any markings, and with fine 
tapering tails. 
IRISH TERRIERS are very popular, and 
should be nearly wholly red in colour, with 
OLD ENGLISH SHEEP-DOG long lean heads, small drooping ears, hard

Sa Nc ness. They make good comrades. 
BEDLINGTON TERRIERS have long been popular in the extreme north of England, and are 
another fighting breed. It is indeed often difficult to avoid a difference of opinion between show 
competitors. Their lean long heads, rather domed skulls, with top-knot of lighter hair, long 
pointed ears, and small dark eyes, give them a peculiar appearance. The coats, which are 
“linty” in texture, should be shades of blue or liver. 
Three breeds, all more or less hard in coat-texture, and grizzled in colour on heads and bodies, 
while tanned on other parts, are AIREDALE, OLD ENGLisu, and WELSH TERRIERS, which may be 
divided into large, medium, and small. The first-named make very good all round dogs; the 
Old English, less in number, make useful dogs, and are hardy and companionable ; while Welsh 
terriers are much the size of a small wire-haired fox-terrier, but usually shorter and somewhat 
thicker in the head. I intended one of Mr. W. S. Glynn’s best dogs to illustrate the last-named. 
FoOxX-TERRIERS are both smooth- and wire-haired. Their convenient size and lively tempera- 
ment make them very popular as pets and companions for both sexes and all ages. The colour 
is invariably white, with or without markings on head or body, or both. 
BLACK-AND-TAN and WHITE ENGLISH 
TERRIERS are built upon the same lines, 
differing chiefly in colour, the former being 
raven-black, with tan markings on face, legs, 
and some lower parts of the body, and the 
latter pure white all over. Both should have 
small natural drooping ears, fine glossy coats, 
and tapering sterns. The toy variety of the 
former should be a miniature of the larger, 
and is very difficult to produce of first-class 
quality. 
SCOTTISH TERRIERS are very interesting, 
often with much “character” about them. 
The usual colours are black, shades of gray, 
MASTIFF or brindle, but some are seen fawn, stone-
