CHAMPION SIR CAVENDISH 



Born May 29, 1887. By Sir Caradoc ex Dame Ruth. 

 Breeder, Dr. Edwardes-Ker. 



THIS excellent dog, the property of Dr. Lock, did much 

 to revive the interest in the breed, of which he was for 

 many years a shining ornament, and it is interesting to 

 note the quaint resemblance his picture bears to that of 

 the Reinagle painting of 1803. 



From 1888 to 1894 there were but few classes for 

 sheep dogs at leading shows in which Sir Cavendish's 

 name was missing from the winning list. Amongst the 

 more notable of his successes may be recorded the 

 following : 



First (Open Class) at Warwick, Barn Elms, Swansea, 

 and Birmingham in 1888 ; and at Gloucester, Cardiff, 

 Brighton, and Crystal Palace in 1890. 



First (Challenge Class) at Liverpool, Cruft's, Bath, 

 Manchester, Kennel Club, Birkenhead, Gloucester, and 

 Crystal Palace in 1891 ; and at Bath, Leeds, Manchester, 

 Kennel Club, Crystal Palace, and Cruft's in 1892. 



In 1893 and 1894 he was first prize winner at 

 Birmingham, at Preston, and at Portsmouth.
