To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The back and quarters are as strong as those of a waggon- horse. The legs should be straight, with good feet, well clothed with hair, both over and between the toes ; the fore legs are heavily feathered at the sides and behind, with a curled or rough appear- ance in front. The hind legs are smooth in front, from the hocks downwards, whilst it is essential that they should be feathered behind down to the foot. In crossing with certain breeds, such as the Retriever, this is one of the first point...s lost. The tail is, like the face, a sure indication of the breeding ; and, at the risk of repeating myself, I assert that no other breed of dog exists with a smooth tail which carries as much hair elsewhere as does the Irish Spaniel. These characteristics viz. Tail, face, and topknot stamp him, in my opinion, as the purest of pure-bred dogs. The tail is shorter than in most other dogs, thick at the root, and tapering to a sting at the point. For about 3in. From the body it is covered with small curls, the remaining portion being smooth.
