Mrs. Crosfield 



ALL of my readers who take an interest in the quaint little 

 Schipperkes will know the subject of this sketch as a successful 

 breeder and exhibitor of the variety. 



This kennel, in which so many distinguished specimens have their 



home, commenced 

 some three years 

 since with Cauts- 

 field Nipper, a little 

 brown bitch, which 

 has since bred a great 

 number of winners 

 at the leading shows 

 all over the kingdom .

Woof, El Capitan, 

 and Champion 

 Prestwich Joe, and 

 I am pleased to hear 

 there are youngsters 

 coming forward 

 likely to uphold the 

 reputation of the 

 strain. 



Mrs. Crosfield has 

 not entirely confined 

 her attention to one 

 variety, having kept 

 Newfoundlands and some sporting breeds, with which she has 

 taken honours at some of the shows, amongst those exhibited being 

 Champion Boodles, Esq., Cautsfield Velvet, and others ; but I think 

 her warmest affection is for Schipperkes, of whom the prime favourite 

 is Champion Prestwich Joe, whose portrait appears in company with 

 his mistress. I need nardly tell my readers that he is very typical, 

 and has the excellent record of sixteen championships and many 

 other prizes at shows all over the country.
