In art one fancies one sees a likeness to these dogs in Morland's " Stable Amusements," and in more modern days in Mr. Briton Riviere's " Giants at Play," now to be seen in the Tate Gallery. It is rather doubtful whether dogs of a coarser make than toy bull-terriers were not the models in both these cases; still, there is a certain resemblance, and in Morland's case this is interesting as a link with the past.

The most valuable toy bull-terriers are small and very light in weight, and these small clogs usually have "apple heads." Pony Queen, the former property of Sir Raymond Tyrwhitt Wilson, weighed under 3 lb., but the breed remains "toy" up to 15 lb. When you get a dog with a long, wedge-shaped head, the latter, in competition with small ' apple-headed " dogs, always takes the prize, and a slightly contradictory state of affairs arises from the fact that the small dog with an imperfectly shaped head will sell for more money than a dog with a per fectly shaped head which is larger.
