Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Rutland, Christopher, Madge, Grace III., Peggy II., Amy, and 

 others ; and possibly one of the best he ever bred was Woodman- 

 Sterne Lothian, who, after creating a great sensation at the Collie 

 Club Show, held at that time in the Central Hall, Holborn (I fancy 

 since converted into a theatre or music-hall), went home to die, to 

 the grief of his enthusiastic owner and breeder. 



It may be interesting to some of my readers, who may not 

 remember the fact, if I state that Champion Christopher, referred to in 

 these notes, was sold by Mr. Hamilton for ;6o, and afterwards resold 

 to an American buyer for ^"1,000, or its equivalent ; so that from 

 this kennel may be said to have emanated the sensational prices 

 since paid for Collies, which have caused so much excitement 

 throughout the Kennel World of late years. 



It will be well known to most of my readers that Woodman- 

 sterne Tartan,, a grandson of Dorothy by Champion Rightaway, 

 with broad white collar, wonderful head, ears, full of character, 

 good size, excellent mover and standing on the best of legs, 

 is now very much to the fore. 



He came out at the 

 Kennel Club Show and 

 won in every class in 

 which he was entered, 

 besides gaining the 

 "Collie Derby." He 

 has since continued his 

 triumphs, and at the 

 Collie Club Show se- 

 cured the Sixty Guinea 

 Challenge Trophy, and 

 is proving himself one 

 of the best ever shown. 

 His owner is breeding 

 as carefully as ever, and 

 with Woodmansterne 

 Tartan and other win- 

 ners, in spite of the 

 keen competition which 

 now exists, still holds
