90 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



The Colonel is an able and popular judge, and has often officiated 

 at the Crystal Palace, National Dog Show, Birmingham, Liverpool, 

 Manchester, and other large shows. 



As the subject of my sketch will be personally known to many of 

 my readers, I need scarcely say that his genial disposition and 

 courteous manners have endeared him to a large circle of friends, 

 not only in Lancashire but throughout the United Kingdom. 

 The portraits accompanying this sketch are of Colonel Dean and 

 of his Black-and-tans Beswick Beauty and Champion Starkie Ben. 



Mr. J. A. Doyle 



MOST people who are in anywise doggy will recognise the 

 subject of my sketch, as not only has he been long respected 

 and esteemed at Oxford, where he resides a good part of the 

 year, but also at Crickhowel, where he dispenses justice as well 

 as hospitality. 



But it is of him in his character as a fancier that I wish to say 

 a few words. I think I am correct in saying he commenced 

 exhibiting about 1874. I had the pleasure of meeting him first 

 in 1875, and have always admired the consistency with which he 

 has stuck to Fox-terriers ever since, and kept "pegging away" at 

 breeding and exhibiting, undeterred by any disappointments. 1 

 well remember many of the dogs in the following list of some of 

 his best specimens : 



Fox-terriers (Smooth) : Gamester, Trick, Vixen, Beppo, Coquette, 

 Wamba, Banter, Vengeance, Jessica (afterwards Lady), Wilful, 

 Buckthorn, Beeswing, Spikenard, Achievement, Saraband, Maid of 

 Usk, Marmaduke, Dreamland, Beggarman, Recovery, Rifleman, 

 Rosati, Revolver, Meanee, Rataplan, Seamstress, Mick March, 

 Hesperus, Greensleeves, Doritus, Lavengro, Hymen, Venusta, 

 Garter King, Greenveil, Duvernay, Mistress of the Robes, Calculator, 

 Diophantus, Capucin, Forecast, and Volunteer. 



Fox-terriers ( Wire-haired) : Christmas Carol, Jeweller. 



Blue Merle Collies : Motley, Blue Tulip. 



Wavy Retriever : Jacobite. 



He has done something in the poultry section of the Fancy also, 

 particularly Black-red Game, with which he, some years since, 

 carried off the Challenge Cup for Best Black-red Pullet at 

 Birmingham.
