546 Modern Dogs. 



appeared in 1889, but no particular dachshund of note, although 

 some distinguished themselves as prize winners, these included 

 Mr. Walker's Cito, Mr. Byron's Black Jack, Dr. Goullet's Jack 

 Straw, the writer's Jay, Jam, and Jenny Wren, Mr. Arkwright's 

 Switchback, Mr. N. D. Smith's vSnapdragon, Solome, and Sheba, 

 Mr. Mudie's Wolferl and Amsel, Captain Barry's Greta II., and 

 Mr. Cliffs Cawcawana. 



Some excellent dachshunds were introduced during 1890, and r 

 as several of these are now being exhibited, I will simply refer to 

 their performances on the bench Mr. Byron's Duckmanton 

 Winkle, Mr. Vale's John o' Groat and Minimus II., Rev. G. F. 

 Lovell's Chimes, and the writer's Janet, all being by Jingle ; of 

 these. Janet was the most successful, as she obtained the reserve 

 to Jackdaw twice for the fifty guinea cup. A grand type of 

 dachshund she was, she went to America in pup to Pterodactyl. 

 Duckmanton Winkle should prove a valuable stud dog, he is the 

 right size, of nice quality, and his breeding is of the best. The 

 brothers John o' Groat and Minimus II., both excellent in head 

 and ears, are somewhat deficient in chest and loin. Mr. Walker 

 brought out Carl Rosa, and Mrs. Barry Jack Twopence and Reena, 

 all of which did well on the bench, and are frequently now seen 

 high up in the prize lists. 



Some good puppies were introduced in 1891 ; several have 

 been lost by distemper after brief show careers, these include 

 Mr. Ravenor's Windrush Troubadour and Windrush Countess, 

 and Mr. Woodiwiss's Keil, which were all very promising young 

 dachshunds. Jack Boot, a brother to Keil, was a particularly 

 smart young dog when shown in the novice class at the Kennel 

 Club Show ; and Mr. Mudie brought out a very good couple in 

 Thorolf and Thorgerda. Mr. J. W. Taylor exhibited a black and 

 tan bitch of excellent type in Hypatia, but she was too large. 



The above contribution gives a complete history 

 of the dachshund and the leading kennels- in this 

 country during the past twenty-five years.
