THE DANDIE DI]^fMONT TERRIER, 477 Ooat.—This is a very important point; the hair should be about two inches long, that from skull to root of tail a mixture of hardish and soft hair, which gives a sort of crisp feel to the hand. The hard should not be wiry; the coat is what is termed pily or penciled. The hair on the under part of the body is lighter in color and softer than on the top. The skin on the belly accords with the color of the dog. Color.—The color is j)epper or mustard. The pepper- color ranges from a dark bluish-black to a light silvery gray, the intermediate shades being preferred; the body- color coming well down the shoulder and hips, gradually merging into the leg-color. The mustards vary from a red- dish-brown to a pale fawn, the head being a creamy white, the legs and feet of a shade darker than the head. The claw\s are dark, as in other colors. (Nearly all Dandie Din- mont Terriers have some white on the chest, and some have also white claws.) Size.—The height should be from eight to eleven inches at the top of shoulder. Length from top of shoulder to root of tail should not be more than twice the dog's height, but i)referably one or two inches less. Wei gilt.—From fourteen pounds to twenty-four pounds; the best weight as near eighteen pounds as j^ossible.
