This is more or less of a nondescript variety, but he is worthy of a
place in the sun by reason of the inestimable service he renders to his
master or mistress. Daily he may be seen in Belgium and Holland drawing
the carts purveying milk, butter, vegetables and other similar household
necessities. He varies in height from about 24 in. to 32 in. and weighs
around 100 lbs. Fawns and brindles are the most common colors. In
general appearance he is a cobbily-built strong dog capable of great
endurance. Naturally he must be strongly made in back and loins, well
boned in legs and with feet well padded. The tail is generally docked to
about three inches. Chapters dealing with other purposes to which dogs
are put will be found in other parts of this work.
