96 THE OLD ENGLISH SHEEP DOG 



CHAMPION VICTOR CAVENDISH 



Born January 7, 1897. By Young Watch ex Grey Queen. 

 Breeders, Messrs. Thickett and Shaw. 



IT is worthy of note that Champion Watchboy plays an 

 important part in this dog's pedigree, having sired both 

 Young Watch and Grey Queen, and undoubtedly trans- 

 mitted many of his own excellent qualities to his 

 grandson. The latter's illustrious ancestors also include 

 Champion Sir Cavendish, his maternal grandsire. 



Victor Cavendish, in addition to innumerable firsts 

 and specials, is credited with the following Challenge 

 prizes : Kennel Club, 1899 ; Earl's Court, 1899 ; Crewe, 

 1900 ; Aquarium, 1900 ; Alexandra Palace, 1900 ; Cruft's, 

 1901 ; Aquarium, 1902 ; Kennel Club, 1902 ; People's 

 Palace, 1903. 



He took forty-two first prizes and twenty-five specials 

 at twenty-eight shows, winning the Old English Sheep 

 Dog Challenge Cup at the club's show on three separate 

 occasions.
