Mr, W. Hugh Berners 



53 



in Maiden 

 Classes, and at 

 the show at 

 Swindon was 

 first in Limit 

 and Novice 

 Classes, and 

 took the 

 British Bull- 

 dog Club 25 

 Cup. Another 

 puppy, a win- 

 ner at Chelten- 

 ham, had the 

 curious ex- 

 perience of 

 being born 

 apparently 

 dead; but by 

 application of 

 hot flannels 

 and artificial 

 respiration, 

 first with 

 human breath 

 and afterwards 

 with the help 

 of a cycle 



pump, he was kept alive, and was a healthy inmate of the kennel 

 until he was sold. 



Both Mr. and Mrs. Berners think no trouble too much for the 

 well-being of their four-footed friends. They have kennels with 

 improved flooring and a system of drainage and ventilation devised 

 by Mr. Berners, which he claims to combine warmth and dryness, 

 of special importance with such difficult and delicate animals as 

 they have found Bull-dogs to be. 



I have been able to obtain a capital portrait of Mr. Berners, 

 and had hoped to have given one of Mrs. Berners also, as I 

 think, from what I have been told, she is equally keen as a 

 fancier, and has made many friends amongst Doggy People with 

 congenial tastes.
