CHAPTER XVI. 

 OTHER TERRIERS. 



ALTHOUGH in the foregoing pages I have given 

 fourteen chapters to what may well be called 

 different varieties of the terrier, several of the race 

 remain yet unrepresented, and without any reproach 

 on the character of those already described, there 

 are other terriers quite equal to such as are given 

 precedence in the " Stud Book " and by me. 



A few years ago an " Old English Terrier Club " 

 was formed, and it sought to bring out of various 

 country districts that hardy, hard-bitten game dog 

 common thereto, and which was used for work. 

 So far this club has done its work but moderately ; 

 a few good dogs were through it introduced, but too 

 often the winner, in the special classes provided 

 were either Airedale terriers or Welsh terriers, and 

 a case has been known where a dog was by the 

 judges given honours in both its own class as an 

 Airedale terrier and in that for the so-called old 

 English variety, which is no variety at all.
