JUDGING DOGS.
The Rule. by which the Different

no prize at all. A man who knows the
relative values OF the different points
In all breeds OF dogs Is u veritable
walking encyclopedia.
Generally speaking. the best dog Is
one which comes nearest the standard
OF requirements for It's own particular
breed. about % per cent OF the points
being usually awarded for tine head
proportions. an equal number for legs
and feet, a similar number for body
and color and the rest for symmetry.
In the Dalmatian. for instance. thirty
points are given for color and mark
ings, while head. eyes and ears have
only fifteen: the bulldog. on the other
hand, has forty-five for head and ears.
while coat and color amount 10 but i've
points: the collie has twenty-five for
coat, color being immaterial. and TWEEN
ty.five for head and ears.
The St. Bernard has forty for head
and ears and Ave each for coat and
color. The Pomeranlan has but fifteen
for head and ears. forty-nve points GO
