BLACK PUG. "Larchmoor Peter Pan," owned by Mrs. Lyle.

Acknowledged Points.

Symmetry.—Symmetry and general appearance, decidedly square and cobby. A lean, leggy pug and a dog with short legs and a long body are equally objectionable. Size and Condition.—The pug should be multum in parvo, but this condensation (if the word may be used) should be shown by compactness of form, well-knit proportions, and hardness of developed muscle. Weight from 13 lbs. to 17 lbs., dog or bitch. Body.—Short and cobby, wide in chest, and well ribbed up. Legs.—Very strong, straight, of moderate length, and well under. Feet.—Neither so long as the foot of the hare nor so round as that of the cat; well split-up toes, and the nail black. Muzzle.—Short, blunt, square, but not up-faced. Head.—Large, massive, round, not apple-headed, with no indentation of the skull. Eyes.—Dark in colour, very large, bold, and prominent, globular in shape, soft and solicitous in expression, very lustrous, and, when excited, full of fire. Ear.—Thin, small, soft, like black velvet. There are two kinds, the "rose" and "button." Preference is given to the latter. Markings.—Clearly defined. The muzzle or mask, ears, moles on cheeks, thumb-mark or diamond on forehead, back-trace, should be as black as possible. Mask.—The mask should be black. The more intense and well-defined it is the better. Wrinkles.—Large and deep. Trace.—A black line extending from the occiput to the tail. Tail.—Curled tightly as possible over the hip. The double curl is perfection. Coat.—Fine, smooth, soft, short, and glossy, neither hard nor woolly. Colour.—Silver, or apricot fawn. Each should be decided, to make the contrast complete between the colour and the mask and trace. N.B.—The points of black pugs, except as to colour, are the same as those for fawns.

Toy Bulldogs.—Points of Toy Bulldogs.—The general appearance of the toy bulldog must, as nearly as possible, resemble that of the big bulldog. The skull should be large, forehead flat, the skin about it well wrinkled, the "stop" broad and deep, extending up the middle of the forehead. Eyes of moderate size, situated low down on the skull, and as wide apart as possible. Ears to be "rose," if possible; "tulip" ears are allowable, but not to be encouraged; "button," or terrier-like ears are a decided fault. Face to be as short as possible, nose jet black, deeply set back, almost between the eyes. Muzzle to be short, broad, and turned upwards. The lower jaw should project considerably in front of the upper and turn up. Teeth not to be shown. Neck to be short, with much loose skin about it. "Frogginess" is objectionable. Chest to be very wide, round, and deep. Back short and strong, narrow towards the loins, and broad at the shoulder. A roach back is desirable. Tail to be short, and not carried above the back. Forelegs to be short in proportion to the hindlegs. Hindquarters much lighter in proportion than forequarters. The most desirable weight is below 20 lbs., and dogs and bitches that exceed 22 lbs. should be disqualified. The Miniature Bulldog Club. Secretary, Miss A. Bruce, 42, Hill Street, Berkeley Square, London, W.
