FRENCH SMOOTH-COATED SHEEPDOG VOLTIQEUR (CHIEN DE BERGER DE BEAUCE). FRENCH SHEEPDOG OF LA BRIE CH. POLKA DE MONTJOYE. PROPERTY OF MADAME VICTOR-THOMAS. The head is broad and domed, the ears are pendant, the expression is intelligent and courageous. The coat is not long, but thick, coarse and weather-resisting. The tail is thick, with the hair longer on the underside. The colour is black and rich tan, the markings being distributed in the manner common to dogs of this colour; but occasionally red specimens are seen. The breed is already very scarce, and as there are no great inducements to its con- tinuance, even as a drover's assistant, it seems probable that in a few years' time it will have become extinct unless preserved from that fate by the club which has recently been revived in Germany with the purpose of resuscitating the breed.
