Mrs. Stallibrass 



THIS lady is one of the few enthusiastic fanciers who of late years 

 have espoused the cause of the beautiful Maltese Terrier, which 

 has been so long languishing for want of energetic support ; and I 

 fear I have wearied some of my readers by constantly sounding its 

 praises and urging my fancier friends to prevent such an essentially 

 charming ladies' pet becoming extinct. As on each of the last 

 occasions when I have judged them I have had increased entries, 

 and I know a good deal of emulation is now aroused amongst 

 several breeders and exhibitors, I think the variety is in a more 

 hopeful condition than for some years past. 



Mrs. Stallibrass has chiefly exhibited at shows in and near London, 



and has taken 

 honours on 

 several occasions 

 with Santa 

 Klaus, one of 

 her own breed- 

 ing from im- 

 ported parents, 

 who took second 

 prize at Earl's 

 Court, first and

MRS. STALLIBRASS'S MALTESE TERRIER SANTA KLAUS Crystal Palace, 



May, 1899, 



followed by first and championship at the National Dog Show, 

 Birmingham ; at the London Show, held in Hengler's Circus, first 

 again, and first and championship, with gold and silver medals and 

 other specials at the Toy Dog Show held in 1901 at the Crystal 

 Palace. Queen Stallie, sister to last named, has taken second at 

 the Crystal Palace, and first and championship at Earl's Court. 

 Lady Brass has been shown twice, taking second Crystal Palace 

 and first and championship Royal Aquarium. Nun Nicer, a daughter 

 of Santa Klaus, took three prizes at the Crystal Palace, only! time 

 shown. Others of this lady's pets are Sir George White and Sunder- 

 land Beauty, of which we shall probably hear more in the future. 



Santa Klaus was in many respects one of the best of the variety 

 to be seen on the benches, and some of his stock are most promising, 

 and have already taken first prizes in Litter Classes at Crystal Palace
