Mrs, LloycURayner 17* 



to-day is Graythwaite Dhu, a pepper. When only eight months 

 old he won first Puppy, second Limit and Challenge Cup for 

 Best Pepper Dog under Two Years, and at a show where there 

 was a record entry. At the Crystal Palace the following month 

 he also won first Puppy. Since then he has gone steadily ahead, 

 winning some thirty or more prizes, including Championship, 

 Breeders' Challenge Cup, and finally the. Challenge Cup for Best 

 Pepper Dog exhibited at the Crystal Palace, 1901, being then 

 only two years and eight months old. He is a good pepper 

 reproduction of his sire, Champion Blacket House Yet, and in 

 many ways closely resembles his dam, March Judy, who has 

 never failed to breed winners in every litter, and there are at 

 present in the kennels three of her puppies, all promising to keep 

 up her reputation as a dam of the best quality. 



Fairfield Waif is also a pillar of the kennels, being the dam of 

 many winners, including Graythwaite Jock, who until lately was 

 Dhu's kennel companion. March House Blackie, Kentmere Topsy, 

 Kentmere Lily, and Graythwaite Dirk remain among the most 

 notable in the kennels. 



Dandies are not the only canine favourites, as Mrs. Rayner also 

 has a nice little pack of Pocket-beagles, who are not slow at getting 

 on the track of even a Fell fox, and with the Dandies having a good 

 run, though a hopeless one, for it takes the sturdy Ullswater Fox- 

 hounds to pay a visit to Kentmere and account for these large and 

 bold hill-foxes.
