Boss (A. K. C. S. B. 12656), the subject of illustration, 

 is a black-and-tan Collie owned by the writer; was whelped 

 August 15, 1886; is a large, upstanding dog, weighing 

 seventy pounds; has abundance of coat, the outer coat long 

 and hard; has a long, lean head, good expression, ears a 

 trifle large, but correctly carried. He is a grand specimen, 

 and shows a deal of Collie character; yet, like many other 

 good ones, he has his faults. He lacks finish, is a little too 

 straight in the stifle, and for the latest craze would be con- 

 sidered a little coarse. He was sired by Donald III., by 

 Long's Rob Roy, out of Bessie B., by Champion Cocksie, 

 out of Belle III.; dam, Zella (A. K. C. S. B. 11696). 



- Boss has never been shown outside of his own State; 

 has won three firsts in the pet-stock shows held at Indian- 

 apolis and Richmond, and won the two special premiums 

 (1889 and 1890) offered by J. Van Schaick for the best 

 Collie bred and owned in Indiana. J. E. D.
