I will also add, that there is no small tendency forFlemish to throw a ruddybrown color shade; and whilestock of this tinge usually has the making of large speci-mens that will do well for utility use, as show exhibitsthey are absolutely worthless in the eyes of an expertjudge. To breed true and harmonious steel grey is no easymatter, and the correct Standard shade; or rather, per-manent color is rarely apparent in its perfect tone untilcompleting the second molt. 20. Pic âºJ >^ OO The Lop Ear AS A fancy variety, the Lop has made itself decidedly popular, The Lop ald while perhaps not so much so in this country as in England and Germany, it has, withal, many admirers. Its principal characteristic is the large ears for which it is noted, and specimens of enormous proportions have been produced in recent years. Instances are recorded with an earage of 27^4 by TV4,, and a weight of 12 pounds. Because of this immense earage, however, its breeding for purposes other than Fancy is not so desirable as that of less bothersome varieties. FOR show purposes the Lop hastwo classificationsâone for en-EafS tries of classified length, and the other for any length. Forthe former, classification usuallyexceeds 24 inches, to any possible limit beyond this; whilein the latter no specification is made, and these specimensare judged perhaps more for universal quality than ear-age
