is to give an extended pedigree of the cross, and by it 

 will be seen how, throngh Foiler, on the sire, Yesuvian's 

 side (a litter brother of Lucifer's), the blood of Rollick 

 predominates. Buff, on the dam, Yenilia's side, appears 

 through an inbred cross. 



To conclude the subject of the different strains of blood 

 among Fox Terriers, I have selected the Clark, or Brocken- 

 hurst Rally strain, because it is the most distinct in type, 

 because it has, in a given period, produced more high- class 

 bench-winners than any other, and because it furnishes the 

 best example of a most carefully worked out instance of 

 successful inbreeding known to Fox Terrier history. 



The Messrs. Clark, two brothers living in Nottingham, 

 founded the family with practically three Terriers one dog 

 and two bitches. The dog was Brockenhurst Rally, an 

 excellent son of Brockenhurst Joe and Moss II., a grand- 

 daughter of Old White Tyrant. The bitches were Jess, a 

 daughter of Hazlehurst's Grip, he a son of Turk, out of 

 Patch, a granddaughter of Old Trap, and Rollick, a 

 daughter of Buff and Nectar II., by Old Foiler. Brocken- 

 hurst Rally was bred to both Jess and Rollick. The off- 

 spring of these two unions were bred together for several 

 generations, and this crossing and recrossing into precisely 

 the same blood is what produced Result and all the Ter- 

 riers so closely related to him, including Roysterer, Regent, 

 Reckoner, Rachel, Radiance, Reckon, Rational, Raffle, 

 etc., which for the past six years have held almost un- 

 disputed sway on the English benches. It was but last 

 year that they finally succumbed to Mr. Yicary's kennels, 

 although Russley Toff, the best puppy of this year, and 

 purchased by Mr. F. Redmond from his breeder, Mr. F. 

 W. F. Toomer, of Swindon, for 200 guineas, is essentially 

 of the Brockenhurst Rally family. 



Now and then an outcross was made, such as that to 

 Hysop, the best-fronted son of Spice, from which came 

 Heatherbell and Harmony, respectively the dams of Rachel 

 and Raffle; and to New Forest, the son of Splinter and Olive 

 II., from which cross First Flight was the fruit. Reckoner
