294 Modern Dogs. 



at the risk of being considered egotistical, I have 

 ventured to give the above particulars of a dog 

 once well known on the show-bench, and the men- 

 tion of whose name to some people would have 

 much the same effect as a red rag is said to have 

 upon a bull. 



Although it is always very much a matter of 

 opinion as to what are or have been the best Dandies 

 of modern and of recent times, it may be as well 

 to give a list of a few I have known, as such 

 might perhaps come in useful for future reference. 

 There was Capt. Lindoe's Dandie (who won at 

 Cremorne in 1864), Mr. W. Dorchester's Cloudie 

 and Jock, Mr. J. H. Murchison's Melrose, Mr. 

 Macdona's Kilt, Mr. P. Scott's Peachem and 

 Nettle, Rev. T. Mosse's Shamrock and Vixen, Mr. 

 Bradshaw Smith's Dirk, Mr. J. Locke's Sporran 

 and Doctor, Mr. J. A. Mather's Warlock, Mr. 

 W. F. A. B. Coupland's Border Prince, Mr. D. 

 Bailie's Border King, the mustards Mr. Steel's 

 Edenside and Mr. Clark's Heather Sandy ; Mr. 

 G. Graham's Maud II., Mr. Leatham's Heather 

 Peggy, his Little Pepper II. and Ainsty Belle, Mr. 

 J. T. Gray's Philabeg, Mr. W. T. Barton's May 

 Queen, Mr. Stordy's Rab, Mr. T. F. Slater's Tweed- 

 mouth, and an excellent bitch which came out 

 at Manchester in 1894, Mr. J. Brough's Belle Coota.
