33 Modern Dogs. 



including a particularly charming specimen, bred at 

 Windsor, and winner of leading prizes wherever 

 shown, called Fluffie. This beautiful little creature 

 appeared, with several other of Her Majesty's 

 Pomeranians, at Cruft's show in 1892, where they 

 carried away a great number of prizes. At this 

 gathering there were ninety-four Pomeranians entered, 

 although not nearly that number of dogs were benched, 

 many being entered in more than one class. All 

 were of the small size, and possibly in the course 

 of a few years the royal example will be followed, 

 and the Pomeranian become a fashionable varietv.

At the present time Miss Hamilton, of Seend, 

 Wiltshire, has a particularly choice and interesting 

 kennel of Pomeranians, including several good 

 whites, some charming blacks, and specimens of 

 other colours, many of which have been bred by 

 her. The diminutive orange and white dog Prince 

 of Orange is especially choice, weighing about 

 5^1b. This exquisite little creature was first shown 

 by Mrs. Gordon Lynn, of Southsea, who at one time 

 possessed an excellent collection of Pomeranians. 

 Indeed, honours in this respect may be said to have 

 been pretty equally divided between Her Majesty, 

 Mrs. Gordon Lynn, Mrs. Thomas, and Miss Hamilton. 



Mrs. Thomas, of Ealing Dean, has at the present 

 time a valuable and an unique kennel of the variety.
