Dr. George MacGill 



'75 



Hollin Rose, by Champion 

 Metchley Wonder ~ex Pitch 

 Dark, the Aquarium sensa- 

 tion, purchased from Mr. 

 Megson, won at Dumfries 

 and was sold to Mr. Panmure 

 Gordon for ^"50. Hollin 

 Belle (late Heatherfield 

 Belle), bought from Mr. 

 F. Hurst, after winning a 

 few prizes, was sold for ^75 

 to Mr. Brearley, for whom 

 she won at leading shows. 



Most of Dr. MacGill's dogs 

 were reared in the country, 

 at his place in Dumfriesshire, 

 an advantage not within the 

 reach of many Collie fanciers. 



He does not confine him- 

 self to Dogs alone, as he is 

 a breeder of Clydesdales and 

 Hackneys, and has been a 

 successful exhibitor of prize 

 poultry and also of pigeons ; 

 Dragons, Owls, and Turbits being the varieties mostly kept, and 

 more for the benefit of his children than himself. 



The Doctor has for some years been Chairman of the Man- 

 chester Dog Show Committee, an Associate of the Kennel Club, 

 on the Committee of the Collie Club, Chairman and Committeeman 

 of many other local bodies. Naturally the services of the Doctor 

 have been in request as judge, and he has often officiated at the 

 leading shows. 



I may conclude this slight sketch, accompanied by a good portrait 

 of its subject, in the words of a well-known fanciers' paper : ' There 

 is not a more respected fancier, or more conscientious judge and 

 straightforward gentleman, than Dr. George MacGill " in the ranks of 

 Doggy People,
