The Catalonian jack is a Spanish breed from Catalonia in extreme north- 

 eastern Spain, bordering on France. This is a black or brown breed with light 

 points, black largely prevailing. The coat of hair tends to be thick and short. 

 This breed stands from 14^/^ to 15, and occasionally 16, hands high. From the 

 standpoint of critics of this class of animals, the Catalonian possesses unusual 

 style, beauty and action. The head shows considerable character, and the ears 

 are rarely droopy. While the bone is not so large as the Andalusian or Poitou, 

 it is very superior in texture and free of flesh. The Catalonian is also a wiry» 

 tough type that matures early. This breed is the one in which we are probably 

 more interested than any of the others, as it has been largely used as foundation
