This is a terrier of considerable antiquity. He is very game and a dog
of exceptional power and pluck, yet endowed with an abundance of common
sense and docility. He should be round in skull, full in eye, which
should be a rich dark hazel. This dog should be strong in jaw, with
short, stout legs, and long weasel-shaped body, with a soft linty coat
and top-knot. A point strongly demanded is the size and carriage of his
ears, which should be almond-shaped, set on low, smooth-coated, with
edges fringed with longer hair, and lay very close to the head.
