WIRE-HAIRED PINSCHER wiry, standing out from the body. On the head it is shorter, and there is a decided short beard and whisker. The colour may be pepper and salt, iron grey, silver grey or dull charcoal black, sometimes with an admixture of tan or rust)^ markings on the head and legs. A bright red colour is incorrect. His height is from 12 inches to 18 inches, and his weight from 18 to 28 lb. Herr Max Hartenstein, of Berlin, is perhaps the best known among the many prominent owners and breeders of the Rattler. His Gick and Handle arc good examples of the grey variety, but his best at tlie present moment are the blacks ; Sambo-Plavia, Kunz- Plavia, Eva-Plavia, and Dohlc-Pla\-ia, being eminent prize winners at the Continental shows. Another well- known owner is Mrs. Prosper Sassen, of Antwerp, whose Ch. Russ H. Pfeff holds an unbeaten record on the Continent. Tliere is a smooth-coated variety of the German Pinscher, and mention may also be made of the Affenpinscher, or Monkey Terrier, a small, wire-haired lady's dog, somewhat resembling the Brussels Griffon. These Monkey Terriers are becoming some- what fashionable outside of Germany, and occasionally they have been imported mto England. The Dutch wire-haired terrier (Hollandsche Smoushond) differs very little from the old- fashioned British rough-coated terrier type. It is also a stable-yard dog ; a man's rather than a lady's pet. In height he averages 15 inches at the shoulder, and in weight 22 lb. The coat is hard, wiry, and rough, never curly, wa^'y, or woolly, and the colour is red, yellow-brown, dirty yellow, and their different shades. The moustaches, beard, and eyelashes are often black. The ears are cropped to rounded points, and the gaily carried tail is docked to a third of its natural length. Some of the most typical are kept by Mr. J. Westerwondt, of Baarn. We seldom see them on this side of the North Sea. There are many other kinds of terriers in Holland, but most of them seem to be related either to the German Pinscher or the English breeds. The Boxer is another dog widel)^ distri- buted throughout Germany and Holland.
