The breed does
not suffer much from " distemper," and, strange to say,
in spite of generations of coddling and fussing, and
breeding for smallness and coat, is a decidedly healthy
one.
The white Yorkshires, a new variety some folk
have tried to push, is, I think, in no way especially
desirable the Maltese can do all that is necessary in
that line ; while the attempt to make " silver " York-
shires popular, too, simply means that bad-coloured
dogs without any tan (paleness of tan is the stumbling-
block in many a Yorkshire's career), are classed by
themselves and offered prizes.
