54 2 Modern Dogs. 



six, with fourteen entries in the third produce stakes ; the winners 

 in the stakes being Joan of Arc, ist; Edelweiss, 2nd ; Sphinx, 3rd ; 

 and Mr. Walker's Carlyle, 4th ; Graff III. was remarkable for his 

 beautiful skull and set on of ear, and these points he transmitted 

 to his progeny to a great extent, notably to Stylograph and Jack 

 o'Dandy. Joubert was a small dog, with very nice outline, deep 

 chest, good loin, but was not particularly houndy in head. Joan 

 of Arc much better in head, with a lot of quality, remarkable loin 

 and chest ; she continued to improve with age, and before the end 

 of the year had worked her way up, and beaten her sire Maximus 

 in the challenge class. Gil Bias came out at Warwick, but he 

 showed himself badly in the ring ; he was v.h.c. in the open class, 

 and third in the puppy class. This dog let down and furnished 

 well, and grew into a beautiful dachshund in body, legs, and feet, 

 but was always a little faulty in head. 



Mr. Arkwright brought out Belgian Waldmann at the summer 

 show at the Crystal Palace ; this dog had been very successful at 

 the Continental shows before Mr. Arkwright purchased him from 

 M. J. Gihoul, after having won ist Vienna; ist Spa, special prize

 Antwerp, and ist Paris ; he did not do much winning in England, 

 but sired some good specimens, Belgian Herr being left to 

 continue his line in future pedigrees. 



The oddly-named sisters Decimus and Septimus were brought 

 out by Mr. H. S. Dean at this show ; the former was coarse in 

 head, but Septimus, afterwards named Guinevere by Mr. Blackett, 

 although not quite typical in head, had a beautiful body, with 

 excellent loin and a nice size. In the puppy class she was placed 

 second to Griselda, one of Mrs. Hoare's Faust Zulette puppies, 

 with wonderful head and ears, good skin and bone, but flat 

 in loin; she eventually grew too big, and became unsound. 

 Rubenstein was successful on the show bench, especially in 

 the puppy classes, but he always looked like growing too big and 

 becoming wide in skull. At Birmingham Mr. Ingram showed 

 Indiana, a very good black and tan puppy, capital body, but a
