THE LIVING ANIMALS OF THE WORLD

 is most beautiful. The colours 

 most favoured are sables with 

 white markings ; but black,

 " tricolors," are pleasing and effective. I quite hoped to give a portrait of one of the most perfect 

 of present-day champions, belonging to H. H. the Princess de Montglyon.but could not find room.

 active and Lively. A favourite colour is merle, a sort of lavender, with black markings and tan 

 and white in parts, usually associated with one or both eyes china-coloured. Specimens often 

 win in sheep-dog trials ; a bitch of mine won many such, and was more intelligent in other ways

 much endurance and resource, and very faithful and affectionate. I have often made long
