150 Modern Dogs. 



Mr. C. W. Wharton's Bushey Broom was placed 

 in Tyro's position, a good all-round dog, a great- 

 grandson of Topper's on the one side, and a grandson 

 of Teazle's on the other ; and Mr. Wharton showed 

 good judgment when he bought him for ^25. The 

 next good dogs to follow him were Mr. Harry 

 Jones' (Ipswich) Jack St. Leger and Jigger, two 

 characteristic terriers, brothers, and for the most 

 part their pedigree is confined to the blood of the 

 smooth variety. Jack St. Leger made his successful 

 debut at the Crystal Palace Company's first show in 

 1889, but good dog though he is, I should place him 

 a position lower in the scale than either Tack or 

 Bushey Broom. After scoring various successes with 

 his two terriers, Mr. Jones disposed of them to Mr. 

 A. E. Clear, of Maldon, Essex, who at the time I 

 write has the largest and best kennel of wire-haired 

 terriers in the country. However, I anticipate. 



Other good dogs before the close of the eighties 

 were Pickering Nailer, Cavendish, Jack Frost, Barton 

 Marvel, Liffey, Lord Edward, and Quantock Nettle. 

 Nor must Filbert, better known as Pulborough 

 Jumbo, be forgotten, a black-headed dog, which after 

 being purchased for ^"7 found a new owner for^ioo. 

 He had no pedigree, was taken to be drowned as a 

 puppy ; an accident saved his life then, as another 

 mishap did a little later, when he had been sentenced
