66 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



I think she invariably attends the shows where they are exhibited, 

 and they have the advantage of being shown by their mistress. 



I am pleased to be able to give my readers an excellent portrait of 

 Miss Florence Brunker with the Grey Poodles Pierrette Jackson, 

 Soupet, and La Frivette, and one with the White Toy Poodle 

 Le Roi Blanc, which I am sure will be very interesting to her many 

 friends amongst Doggy People. 



Since the foregoing was written Miss Florence Brunker has been 

 elected Hon. Secretary of the Curly Poodle Club.

THE subject of this sketch is another of the many cases we see 

 where military men are born sportsmen, and, though not able to 

 : ndulge their tastes to the full while in the service, invariably take 

 up their hobbies on retirement. 



Lieut.-Colonel Cane was at Eton and Woolwich, and served some 

 years in the Royal Artillery, taking part in the Egyptian War. In

He has always been a lover of dogs and had some about him all

 Association. He is a member of the Committee of the Kennel 

 Club, in which he takes a warm interest, and where his advice and

 relating to sporting dogs, of which he has bred and owned many 

 good specimens. 



Spaniels are his particular fancy, and of them he has kept most of

 of those dogs, and pretty well swept the boards in his native country, 

 Ireland, where he is President of the Irish Field-spaniel Club, besides 

 being on the Committee of the English Spaniel Club. 



Lieut.-Colonel Cane is a Justice of the Peace for Co. Kildare, of
