THE BULLDOG. 



145 



The engraving given on page 142 is a portrait of a pair of dogs 

 bred by Mr. Shaw, which show the peculiarities of the breed in a 

 marked degree. The fore-shortened stetch o<= the dog exhibits 

 the formation of the chest, shoulders, width of skull, and «' rose " 

 carriage of ears, peculiar to the breed, while the bitch's side view 

 shows her wonderfully short face and " roached" loin, rarely met 

 with to the same extent. Their pedigrees are as follows: The 

 dog, Smasher, by Master Gully, out of Nettle, by Sir Anthony. 

 The bitch, Sugar (formerly Lily), is by the Abbot out of Mr. J. L. 

 Ashburne's Lola, and was bred by the latter gentleman.
