Attempts have frequently been i.iade to 

 establish the Yorkshire Terrier in the United 

 States, whither some choice specimens have 

 been exported. But the climatic conditions 

 in that country appear to be detrimental to 

 most of the long-coated breeds. Among 

 American fanciers Mrs. Raymond Malloch 

 has possessed many good examples, and 

 Mrs. Thomas has done much to make this 

 variety popular during the past few years. 



succeeding to some extent in overcoming: 

 the difficulties of the long coat. Her 

 Endcliffe Muriel is of excellent colour and 

 type, as are her more diminutive Endcliffe 

 Midge and Margery, while her Ch. Endcliffe 

 Merit (known in England as Persimmon) 

 has carried off a large share of the honours 

 of the show ring. Mrs. Phelan's Mascotte 

 is also worthy of mention, and Mrs. Senn's 

 Queen of the Fairies is representative of 

 the few really good products of American 

 breeding. 



In France and Germany the Yorkshire 

 Terrier has become popular as a lap dog, 

 sharing distinction with the King Charles 

 and other chiens de luxe an d^agrrment. 

 At the exhibition of dogs held in the Tuileries 

 Gardens in May, 1907, there were fifteen 

 entries of Yorkshires, prominent among the 

 bitches being Royale-Beautc, Mont Thabor 

 Avent and Gamine ; and among the dogs 

 Mont Thabor Teddy, Royal Ideal, and Tiny, 

 who, judged by Mr. F. Gresham, were 

 placed as prize winners in the order men-
