ENGLISH TOY SPANIEL—This toy spaniel 
comes from a very old breed, known in Eng' 
land as early as the sixteenth century. There 
are four varieties. They are believed to have 
descended from various small spaniels, and 
were great favorites of the royalty. The King 
Charles Spaniel is black and tan, the Prince 
Charles is a tricolor of white, black, and tan, 
the Ruby is chestnut red in color, and the 
Blenheim is white with chestnut red markings. 
These varieties are all practically the same in 
their characteristics except for the color. The coat is long, silky, and 
wavy, but not curly. In weight this toy spaniel varies from 9 to 12 
pounds. 
POMERANIAN — This popular breed, native to Pomerania, was not 
well known until 1870. The dog seems to have descended from the large 
white Spitz, which in turn came from the Iceland and Lapland sledge 
dogs. The Pomeranian has a 
profuse coat of hair, long and 
straight, with a soft, fluffy un' 
dercoat. In color he may be 
black, brown, chocolate, red, 
orange, cream, sable, beaver, 
blue, or white. In size there 
are two classes, those weighing 
up to 7 pounds, those exceed' 
ing 7 pounds.
