Side 141 - The muzzle should be short, broad, turned upwards, and very deep from the corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth.
Side 220 - An over, long — averaging 5^ inches — hard, straight, flat, and free from crisp or curl. Hair on head shorter, softer, and veiling forehead and eyes ; on ears, overhanging inside, falling down and mingling with side locks, not heavily, but surrounding the ear like a fringe, and allowing its shape to appear. Tail also gracefully feathered. COLOUR. — (Any variety). Dark or light blue or grey, or fawn with black points. Shade of head and legs approximating that of body.
Side 95 - ... belly, forming a nice fringe, which may extend on chest and throat. Feet to be well feathered between the toes. Tail to have a nice fringe of moderately long hair, decreasing in length as it approaches the point. All feathering to be as straight and as flat as possible.
Side 183 - SHOULDERS AND CHEST — Shoulders must be fine, long, and sloping well into the back; the chest deep and muscular, but neither full nor wide. BACK AND LOIN — Body moderately long; back should be strong and straight, with no appearance of slackness behind the shoulders; the loin broad and powerful, and slightly arched; ribs fairly sprung, rather deep than round, and well ribbed back.
Side 203 - Spaniel, shall carry weight against a dog, but shall not in itself absolutely disqualify ; but a white patch on the chest or white on any other part of a Black and Tan or Ruby Spaniel shall be a disqualification.
Side 151 - The head and ears, with the exception of dark markings on each side of the skull, should be tan, the ears being of a darker shade than the rest. The legs up to the thighs and elbows being also tan. The body black or dark grizzle. Size. Dogs forty to forty-five pounds weight. Bitches slightly less.
Side 132 - SHOULDERS-The neck should be fairly long, arched gracefully, and well coated with hair; the shoulders sloping and narrow at the points, the dog standing lower at the shoulder than at the loin.
Side 87 - AND HIPS. — The back should be strong at its junction with the loin, sloping upward in a slight rise to the top of the shoulders, the whole forming a graceful outline of medium length; any sway or drop in the back is objectionable. The loin should be strong, with moderate length, slightly arched, but not to the extent of being reached or wheel-backed.
Side 176 - He will thus attain the highest degree of propelling power, together with the greatest length of stride that is compatible with the length of his body. Weight is not a certain criterion of a terrier's fitness for his work. General shape, size, and contour are the main points ; and if a dog can gallop and stay, and follow his fox, it matters little what his weight is to a pound or so, though, roughly speaking, it may be said he should not scale over 2olb. in show condition.
Side 70 - ... should be broadest at the ears, tapering slightly to the eyes, with the muzzle tapering more decidedly to the nose. The muzzle should be pointed, but the teeth and lips level. The head should be long, the skull flat rather than round, with a very slight rise over the eyes, but with nothing approaching a stop. The skull should be coated with moderately long hair, which is softer than the rest of the coat. The nose should be black (though in some blue-fawns the color is blue), and slightly aquiline.
