Side 208 - the developing countries" and Kent Cooper would appear to be speaking most effectively for the developing countries in the present era. I dare say what is sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander too.
Side 108 - stop ' should be apparent ; but there should be more dip in the profile, between the forehead and top jaw, than is seen in the case of a greyhound. The...
Side 111 - Nose, white, cherry, or spotted to a considerable extent with either of these colours. 2. Ears, prick, tulip, or rose. 3. Mouth, much undershot or overshot.
Side 109 - Should be strong and muscular, quite free from droop or crouch ; the thighs long and powerful; hocks near the ground, the dog standing well up on them like a foxhound, and not straight in the stifle. 6. STERN. — Should be set on rather high, and carried gaily, but not over the back or curled. It should be of good strength, anything approaching a " pipe-stopper " tail being especially objectionable.
Side 153 - Marston, hoping to devote an hour or two to study in the quiet meads of that hamlet, near the charming slopes of Elsfield, or in the deeper and more secluded haunts of Shotover Wood. But before he had reached Marston a milkman met him with a terrier — such an animal as Russell had as yet only seen in his dreams ; he halted, as Actaeon might have done when he caught sight of Diana disporting in her bath ; but, unlike that ill-fated hunter, he never budged from the spot till he had won the prize...

The terrier, like the hound, must on no account be leggy; neither must he be too short in the leg. He should stand like a cleverly-made hunter...
Side 109 - Eyes should be dark in colour, small, and rather deep set, full of fire, life, and intelligence; as nearly as possible circular in shape. The Teeth should be as nearly as possible level, ie, the upper teeth on the outside of the lower teeth. NECK — Should be clean and muscular, without throatiness, of fair length, and gradually widening to the shoulders. SHOULDERS...
Side 108 - The jaw, upper and lower, should be strong and muscular; should be of fair punishing strength, but not so in any way to resemble the Greyhound or modern English Terrier. There should not be much falling away below the eyes. This part of the head should, however, be moderately chiseled out, so as not to go down in a straight slope like a wedge. The nose, toward which the muzzle must gradually taper, should be black.
Side 110 - FEET — Should be round, compact, and not large; the soles hard and tough; the toes moderately arched, and turned neither in nor out.
