THE SMOOTH-COATED FOX TERRIER. 389 



granddaughter of Champion Olive, the sister of Brocken- 

 hurst Joe. It will thus be seen that there is still reason to 

 expect this great strain to hold its own in the front rank, 

 although, as it is the world over, the latest champion is 

 always the most popular. 



American breeders, while not having as yet produced a 

 Result or Vesuvienne, have really a most excellent collec- 

 tion of Terriers to breed from, including practically every 

 strain of consequence. 



The blood of Jock, Trap, and Tartar first came to us 

 through the importation by Mr. Newbold Morris of a very
