the following spring she was put to Ozone, and bred the famous 

 litter consisting of Maximus, Superbus, and Mignonne, from 

 which so many of our very best dachshunds are descended. 



Jezebel, a small Zigzag-Zanah bitch, with an excellent loin, 

 capital body, but failing in head, came out and won first at 

 Manchester when seven months old. She bred to Maximus, 

 Joan of Arc, Joubert, Jocelyn, Brownie, &c., all of which have 

 bred winners. At Birmingham Mr. Wootten brought out Zadkiel, 

 litter brother to Jezebel, but neither Zadkiel nor his sire Zigzag 

 obtained even a card. 



This inconsistent judging helped in some manner to bring 

 about the formation of the Dachshund Club. On the day 

 previous to the Kennel Club show at the Alexandra Palace in 

 January, 1881, a meeting was held and the club formed, those 

 present at the meeting being Mr. Arkwright, Rev. G. F. Lovell, 

 Mr. Wootten, and the writer. 



At the Kennel Club show Mr. Arkwright brought out Ozone, 

 then seven months old, by Zigzag out of Zaidee (litter sister 

 to Senta and Zanoh). Ozone was not entered in the open class, in 

 which Mr. Wootten's Zadkiel won, but in a good puppy class of 

 fifteen entries. Ozone was first and Zadkiel second, Zulette was 

 h.c., and Jezebel c. In the competition for the cup for the best 

 dachshund in the show, in which the following competed Zigzag, 

 Mr. Baker's Handsel, Alma, Octavia, and Ozone, the latter won. 



During the various shows of 1881 a number of good dachshunds 

 came out. At the Kennel Club show, at the Crystal Palace, Jude 

 (litter brother to the famous Hagar) won first in the open class 

 and second in puppies (a large class of twenty-five) to Hannah, a 

 puppy of Mr. Southwell's, by Hans Erdine (sister to Otto). 

 Hannah had a good loin and nice type of head, but was deficient 

 in bone. Jude, although possessing excellent type of head, with 

 capital skin and bone, was too large and deficient in quality. At 

 this show Ozone beat Senta for the cup for the best dachshund in 

 the show. 



Hagar came out at Chesterfield, bred by Mr. Byron and
