56 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Sporting and Toy varieties ; but I have much pleasure in presenting 

 my readers with an excellent portrait of him, and including his name 

 amongst the Doggy People, with whom he has been more or less 

 connected for so many years. 



Mrs. Brigham 



As this lady has been kind enough to send me a slight sketch of 

 her connection with doggy affairs, I think I cannot do better than 



give the same in her own 



^^g words, which I am sure 



will be interesting to 

 those of my readers who 

 have recognised the many 

 charming qualities of the 

 intelligent variety with 

 which her kennels have 

 been closely associated, 

 and the writer is pleased 

 to give herewith an ex- 

 cellent portrait of this 

 warm supporter of a breed 

 which can do with more 

 widespread encourage- 

 ment and patronage. 



" Being the daughter 

 of an East Riding farmer 

 residing at the village of 

 Rudstone, near Bridling- 

 ton, well known to tourists 

 for its church and mono- 

 lith, I naturally grew up 

 with a love for dumb 



animals in my childhood. I had given me a mongrel bitch, which 

 became specially attached to myself, not allowing strangers to inter- 

 fere with me when under her charge. She and my pony Pollie at 

 that time were my constant companions, my days being spent riding 

 about with my father. Bitterly did I cry when Rosie was not there
