Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Bow-Bells, purchased 

 as a puppy from the 

 late Mr. Sam. Price, also 

 proved a renowned oc- 

 cupant of the kennels, 

 being unbeatable at either 

 shows or field trials alas ! 

 an unusual combination. 



At Sir Richard Garth's 

 sale Mr. Lloyd Price pur- 

 chased Old Drake, the 

 well-known champion, 

 giving one hundred 

 guineas for him at eight 

 years old \ but the pur- 

 chase was a success, for 

 Old Drake scored the 

 next season in an Open 

 and Brace Stake at the 

 National Field Trials, 

 and, in conjunction with 

 Bow-Bells and other 

 bitches in his new master's 

 kennel, founded a family 

 that for several succeed- 

 ing seasons pretty well 

 swept the boards of the 

 Field Trial Pointer Stakes. 



A curious combination was Old Drake at nine years old winning 

 the Braces in conjunction with a seven months' puppy, Eos Cymru, 

 a son of Mr. Statter's celebrated Major. Eos, like Belle, was 

 no partridge dog he despised the " little brown bird of the 

 pastures " ; but Mr Lloyd Price was always of opinion that Belle, 

 her daughter Belle Faust (by Mr. Pilkington's Faust), and this Eos 

 were the three best dogs that he ever saw on the moors. 



Beau and Mallard, sons of Old Drake out of Belle, won many a 

 stake, single and coupled, as did Lucky Sixpence, Mead, Little 

 Ben, Ben and Belle Faust, Grecian Bend, Luck of Edenhall, Luck 

 of the Goat (sold in America for ^200), which will be names easily 

 recalled by students of field trial lore. Twice during his member- 

 ship of the Kennel Club did Mr. Lloyd Price cairy off the Field
