Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Head and skull: "Forehead well domed; head covered with very soft, silky hair not confined to mere 'topknot'."
2. Coat: "Soft and silky. Neither woolly nor wiry. Loosely waved or curly, but if curly, curls large, light and loose. The coat should not stand off but flow and fall naturally. Coat abundant all over body and especially profuse on head and legs."
3. Characteristics: "There is a heedless, reckless pluck about the _______ Terrier which is characteristic, and, coupled with the headlong dash, blind to all consequences, with which he rushes at his adversary, has earned for the breed the proud epithet of 'the Daredevils'."
4. Head and Skull: "Head like that of an otter moderately broad in skull, with short strong muzzle."
5. General Appearance: "Largest of the Terriers, a muscular, active, fairly cobby dog, without suspicion of legginess or undue length of body."
6. Ears: "Moderately sized, filbert-shaped, set on low, and hanging flat to cheek. Thin and velvety in texture; covered with short fine hair with fringe of whitish silky hair at tip."
7. Colour: "Jet black and rich mahogany tan distributed as follows: on head, muzzle tanned to nose, nose and nasal bone jet black. Small tan spot on each cheek and above each eye, under-jaw and throat tanned with distinct tan V. Legs from knee downward tanned with exception of toes which shall be pencilled with black, a distinct black mark (thumbmark) immediately above feet. Inside hindlegs tanned but divided with black at stifle joint. Under tail tanned, vent tanned by marking as narrow as possible so that it is covered by tail. A slight tan mark on each side of chest. Tan outside hindlegs, commonly called breeching, is undesirable. In all cases black should not run into tan or vice versa, but division between colours clearly defined."
8. General Appearance: "Medium-sized with medium-length coat, great strength with impression of maximum substance for the size of dog. Body longer than high."
9. Head and Skull: 'Long without being out of proportion to size of dog. Length of skull enabling it to be fairly wide and yet retain narrow appearance. Skull nearly flat and cheek bones not protruding. Foreface strongly constructed and deep throughout. Skull and foreface of equal length. Slight but distinct stop between skull and foreface just in front of eye. Nose large and, in profile, line from nose towards chin appears to slope backwards.'
10. Characteristics: 'Traditionally of indomitable courage and tenacity. Highly intelligent and affectionate especially with children.'
