CHAMPION FAIR WEATHER 



Born May W, 1898. By Sir James ex Birthday. 

 Breeder, Mrs. Fare Fosse. 



THIS wonderful bitch made her debut at Graft's Show in 

 1899 as a nine months old puppy, and started on her 

 triumphant career by winning every prize for which she 

 was eligible to compete. Despite the strength of the 

 opposition, she took first prize in puppy, novice, limit, 

 and open classes, and secured her first challenge certifi- 

 cate, in addition to eleven special prizes. At Crewe three 

 weeks later she accounted for three more first prizes and 

 a second challenge certificate, and had become a full- 

 blown champion when little over a year old. 



At two years old she had won over fifty first prizes, 

 as many specials and cups, and no less than nine 

 championships. 



The total number of these latter now reaches nineteen, 

 of which she won six in 1899, at Cruft's, Crewe, Bristol, 

 Kennel Club, Liverpool, and Earl's Court ; five in 1900, 

 at Cruft's, Crewe, Sheep Dog Club Show, Alexandra 

 Palace, and Kennel Club ; three in 1901, at Cruft's, 

 Kennel Club, and Birmingham ; tw r o in 1902, at Cruft's 

 and Kennel Club ; two in 1903, at Manchester and Kennel 

 Club ; and one in 1905, at Cruft's. 



In addition to these she w 7 on the premiership for the 

 best of her breed at the Botanic and also at Earl's 

 Court shows in 1899, at the Botanic and Alexandra 

 Palace in 1900, and again at the Botanic in 1903. 



In the intervals she has found time to bring up four 

 litters of puppies, which include many first prize winners 

 a remarkable canine example of the " Strenuous Life " ! 



The total number of first prizes, specials, cups, and 

 medals which she has placed to her credit runs into 

 many hundreds, and she easily holds the record for her 

 breed as a prize-winner. 



No bob-tail, past or present, has hitherto approached 

 the number of her successes.
