ii4 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Mr. H. Panmure Gordon 



THIS gentleman has for many years been a prominent figure 

 amongst Doggy People, not only as a spirited buyer, breeder, and 

 occasional exhibitor of several varieties of dogs, but also as a 

 member of the Committee of the Kennel Club and the President 

 of the Scottish Kennel Club. He has been a zealous supporter 

 and patron of any undertakings for the benefit of dogs and Doggy 

 People, and enjoys popularity with a very large circle of friends and 

 acquaintances in the Doggy World. 



After leaving Harrow he went to the University of Bonn, on the 

 Rhine, and then entered the Army with a commission in the 

 loth Hussars, with whom he passed four years. On retirement from 

 the Army he took up commerce, and was five years in the mercan- 

 tile firm of Lindsay & Co., Shanghai, China. While there he 

 commanded the Shanghai Mounted Volunteer Rangers during the 

 Taiping Rebellion. 



On his return to England he entered the Stock Exchange, of 

 which he has been an active member for the last thirty years ; but, 

 although essentially a busy man, he devotes what leisure he has to 

 his favourite hobbies, which are dogs, salmon fishing, and th^. 

 management of his properties. 



He has more especially favoured the breeds of his native land- 

 Collies and Scottish Terriers and has had from time to time in 

 his kennels many notable specimens of both varieties, as he is a firm 

 believer in breeding from the best materials obtainable, and price 

 does not form an obstacle if a specimen takes his fancy. 



To give a list of those which have found a home in the Loud- 

 water Kennels, at Rickmansworth, Herts, would be a lengthy affair 

 too much so, I fear, for a slight sketch like the present ; but many of 

 them have appeared in the prize lists of our leading shows. 



He is a member of several of the West End Clubs and the 

 Ranelagh Club at Barnes, and has been a princely supporter of 

 the Scottish Kennel Club, which for the last twenty-five years has 

 held the premier position in Scotland, where Mr. Panmure Gordon 

 is probably the most popular man amongst Doggy People over the 

 border. 



He has also been the means of exporting a number of high- class 

 Collies to friends in America, and, but for the difficulties attending 

 the exportation of dogs, much more would have been done in this
