140 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



I 



Mr. Robert Hood-Wright 



I AM pleased to give a speaking likeness of this well-known fancier 

 (who has for more than thirty years been a prominent figure amongst 

 Doggy People), and of two of his celebrated Scotch Deer-hounds, 

 Champions Selwood D'Houran and Callack (who have, between 



them, taken some 



majjm thirty-two champion 



prizes, and are thought 

 to be about the best 

 brace bred and owned 

 by one person). 



When the Blood- 

 hound trials were 

 made at the time of 

 the Jack the Ripper 

 outrages, Mr. Hood- 

 Wright's Hector II. 

 divided one stake and 

 won all the rest. 



Mr. Hood-Wright 

 has not confined him- 

 self to Deer-hounds, 

 but has had many 

 good specimens of 

 Bull-terriers (his first 



fancy), Blood-hounds, Irish Wolf-hounds, Great Danes, Borzois, and 

 others, and his kennels have taken great numbers of prizes at all 

 the leading shows in the kingdom. Mr. Hood-Wright's strain of 

 Deer-hounds descended from his original bitch Bevis, who was 

 bred from a brace Mr. Potter, M.P. for Rochdale, obtained from 

 The McNeil of Colonsay, N.B. 



The services of Mr. Hood-Wright as a judge have often been 

 sought, for which his long experience as a breeder and exhibitor 

 has made him highly capable. At all the leading shows everywhere 

 Mr. Hood- Wright is to be found lending a helping hand, in some 

 capacity or the other, whether exhibiting or not, and he is always 

 sure of a welcome from his hosts of friends wherever he appears. 



He has officiated as Hon. Secretary of several of the clubs for 

 the furtherance of the interests of some of the large breeds of dogs. 

 To give any list of the prizes and honours taken by the inmates
