The Fox Terrier. 119 



alluded to, Mr. Tinne's bitch, Kate Cole, won 

 in prizes, Messrs. Vicary's (now Mr. Stephens') 

 Vice Regal took 60, and altogether about 120 

 were awarded the Vicary's in prizes to their various 

 dogs. 



Again, far more fox terriers are bred now than was 

 the case twenty-five years ago, indeed, when one 

 goes carefully and seriously through the registers at 

 the Kennel Club, the figures appear to be quite 

 astounding. The regulation fee is is., but it is not 

 as a rule the custom to register a dog of any kind 

 until it is fairly well grown, and appears likely to turn 

 out good enough to keep ; so I fancy a fair average 

 to take will be, say, one in four born come to be 

 " named and entered at the Kennel Club." From 

 1880 to the middle of 1892, no fewer than 18,000 

 fox terriers were registered at Cleveland-row, and 

 assuming, as I have suggested, only one in four 

 pupped would be sent, we have a grand total of 

 72,000 fox terriers bred in a little over eleven years. 

 These are however not all, for very many more are 

 bred and reared by people who are not exhibitors- 

 dogs bred for hunting and other purposes and 

 who know nothing about shows, the Kennel Club, 

 and registration. Taking such into consideration I 

 should say that something approaching 9,000 fox 

 terriers are bred in the United Kingdom each year,
