We led him triumphantly through the shop into the street, and we trotted in silence for a space, staring in rapt admiration of the little black paws that padded along in such a business-like fashion beside us, the knowingly-pointed ears, and valiant tail carried at a jaunty angle above the sturdy hind-quarters. When we reached our own quiet street we stopped. The Seraph looked in the bag of buns.
The qualities aimed at now are a height of something less than 30 inches, and a weight not greater than 105 lbs., with straight fore-legs and short, cat-like feet, a deep chest, with broad, powerful loins, slightly arched, and strength of hind-quarters, with well-bent stifles, and the hocks well let down. Straight stifles are objectionable, giving a stilty appearance.
SHOULDERS AND CHEST Former sloping and free, latter deep and well developed, but not too round and wide. BACK AND LOIN Very strong and muscular; level and long in proportion to the height of the dog. HIND-QUARTERS Very powerful and muscular, wide, and fully developed.
In Paris at present it is the fashion to clip the greater part of the body and hind-quarters, but the English Poodle Club recommends that the coat be left on as far down the body as the last rib, and it is also customary with us to leave a good deal of coat on the hind-quarters.

"Here's your fresh meat, Hackett two hind-quarters," he panted. "Load it on." "The boys will be r'iled to find Ben here in the mornin'!" whined the other man. "He won't eat any more grain f'r me!" the colonel boomed, wrathfully.
Fisher remarks, were "covered with a soft skin having a downy pile or hair upon it; the horns themselves were soft, and at the tips flexible and easily broken." The foxes, of which they saw several, "had a black spot or patch on each side of the hind-quarters or hams."
HIND-QUARTERS The rump round, broad, and powerfully muscled; hip bone not too short, but broad and sloping; the upper arm, or thigh, thick, of good length, and jointed at right angles to the hip bone. The hind-legs are lighter in bone than the front ones, but very strongly muscled, with well-rounded-out buttocks, and the knee joint well developed.
