Notwithstanding the loss to us of so many good dogs, I do 

 not think the time has yet approached when our own kennels 

 here will have, as it were, to play second fiddle to dogs 

 from the States or from any of our colonial possessions. 

 The system of quarantine in existence in New Zealand 

 and Australia has prevented, in a great measure, the 

 import of shepherds' dogs to these great dependencies, and 

 I believe that the climate has not been found suitable to 

 such dogs as have been taken to the colonies for the 

 purpose of assisting the farmer with his cattle and the 

 shepherd with his flock.
