Part 40

Prick-ear. One that stands upright.

Quality. Quality is that evidence of breeding which we see in champion dogs, namely, beauty of outline coupled with a fineness of individual points that characterizes the dog at once as being well bred. A horse, for instance, may be very strong and serviceable, yet, being rough and ungainly, is said to be lacking in quality.

Rose-ear. An ear the tip of which turns back and shows the interior of the organ.

Smudge Nose. A nose which is not wholly black, but not spotted, giving the appearance of some of the black having been rubbed off.

Stern. The tail.

Stifles. The top joints of the hind legs.

Stop. The indentation below the eyes, which is most perceptible in the bulldog, but noticeable to a less extent in other breeds.

Trace. Black line extending from occiput to tail.

Tulip-ear. An erect ear.

Type. Every breed of dogs is possessed of certain characteristics of form and feature that stamp it so indelibly that a typical specimen once being seen it is never forgotten. In the human race, for instance, we say a man has a face of Malay type, Chinese type, etc. The same applies to a dog.

Undershot. The lower teeth projecting in front of the upper ones.
