they are a most fascinating little breed, and one which anybody 

 with even a minimum of time and money could do a very great 

 deal worse than devote themselves to, for both as show dogs and as 

 pets they repay one a hundredfold, when one has the good luck to 

 be successful, and a great many times when one hasn't. . . . To 

 keep them merely as pets is a real pleasure, as few dogs are better 

 tempered or more affectionate, and with ordinary care they are 

 healthy and strong."
