THE DOG 17 yellow, or tawny red, but never all black. Each color should be clearly defined and distinct. The black and tan terrier and his ivhitc colleague. This race brings us back to the land of the terrier. They are small, refined, black and brown animals, which, by their slim bodies, resemble greyhounds and harriers.
