TOY-DOGS. 



The hlack dog from which the engraving at the head of this 

 article was taken was remarkable for a degree of inbreeding rarely 

 seen, as will be evident from the annexed pedigree. He was of a 

 black colour, was very handsome, and was considered by " fanciers " 

 to be perfect in all his points. The engraving gives his propor- 

 tions most exactly, but represents him as altogether too large, 

 he being in reality only 14^ inches high, and 8f lbs. in weight.
