l 6 Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Miss Mackenzie 



ALL the many admirers of the graceful and elegant little dogs 

 known as Italian Greyhounds will know the subject of this slight

 Miss Mackenzie has 

 been associated with 

 the variety longer than 

 any breeder or ex-

 commencing in 1867, 

 and has been most 

 constant and perse-

 of the classes at some 

 of our best shows, 

 very often being the 

 only exhibitor making 

 entries in them, and 

 on some . occasions 

 she has officiated as 

 a judge, which should 

 be well within her 

 knowledge of the 

 breed.

has on her lap the 



puppy Vino, which won first prize at the last show at the Alexandra

To show the length of time these beautiful dogs have remained in

 Reynolds of a former Lady Cathcart, accompanied by an infant 

 and an Italian Greyhound, the painting being nearly a hundred and 

 twenty years old.

 prizes they have won would make a longer list than I fear I can
