The Dachshund. 545 



and bone, but with beautiful quality and type ; he was successful 

 at Warwick, and at the Kennel Club Show, at Barn Elms. 

 Pterodactyl came out at Birmingham, when he was placed third, 

 he was then ten months old and not in very good condition, but 

 was a sound active puppy, long in head, good in loin and 

 stern ; this dog very much improved as he grew older, and furnished 

 into one of the best of his time, winning the fifty guinea cup at 

 Birmingham and Kennel Club Shows, and also won first prize 

 at Spa, in 1891. Tinker, afterwards named Jack o' Dandy, came 

 out at Liverpool and won first puppy class, and also the medal, a 

 son of Graf III. and Rachel (litter sister to Charkow) ; his breed- 

 ing was of the best, he had the beautiful skull of his sire, and is a 

 great success at the stud. Mr. Ravenor's Windrush Rioter won 

 at Birmingham, he had previously won at two local shows, and was 

 an excellent type of dachshund, capital legs, feet, and body, but 

 just a little heavy in head, which, however, did not improve with 

 age. I have always understood that a sister to this dog, named 

 Windrush Waldine, was an exceptionally good bitch, but she 

 got hanged on the bench at a local show. 



Mr. Byron brought out Duckmanton Harebell at the Kennel 

 Club Show, Agricultural Hall, when she won first open, first 

 novice, and sixth produce stakes, also a medal ; she had a 

 beautiful type of head, long and clean. The writer's Jealousy 

 and Jess Croft were both successful on the bench, the former 

 excellent in head, with good skin and bone and sound, but carried 

 her tail too gaily; the latter was a smaller bitch with a lot of 

 quality her litter brother Jingle, never exhibited on account of an 

 injury, was a most successful stud dog, and had one of the best 

 heads since Senta's time. Mr. Vale's Melnotte II. and Venus II. 

 did a lot of winning, and were two nice dachshunds. 



Red Rose, bred by Rev. G. F. Lovell, came out at the People's 

 Palace, she was a lengthy red bitch with nice quality. Scarsdale 

 Julia was a small black and tan, inclined to be short in head. 

 Stephanie won a number of prizes for Mr. Mudie ; she was an 

 -excellent type of dachshund but not sound. Several new faces
