Dog Shows and Doggy People 



Mr. J. C. Tinnfe 



CERTAINLY in the ranks of Fox-terrier fanciers there are few, even 

 if one, better known than the subject of this sketch, who was born 

 at Aigburth, near Liverpool; educated at Eton and University 

 College, Oxford ; rowed in the Eton eight in 1865 and 1866, and 

 and in the Oxford eight in 1867, 1868, and 1869, in the last year 

 as Captain of the Oxford crew ; rowed at Henley from 1865 to 1870 

 inclusive; admitted a solicitor in 1874 and practised at Liverpool 

 till 1878, when ill-health obliged him to retire, and he removed to 

 the New Forest. Mr. Tinne joined the Fox-terrier Club in 1879, 

 and was elected Hon. Secretary in 1881, and has held that post 

 ever since. He joined the Kennel Club in 1880, was elected a 

 Committeeman in 1886, and has remained on the Committee to the 



present time, being chosen as 

 Vice-Chairman in 1900, a post 

 he still holds. He has had a 

 successful career as breeder and 

 exhibitor, occasionally offici- 

 ating as judge of Fox-terriers 

 at some of the best shows. 



Amongst the many good 

 specimens he has owned, 

 mostly his own breeding, 

 may be mentioned Champions 

 Brokenhurst Joe and Spice ; 

 Pickle II., Buff, Dicker, Darkie, 

 Dickon, New Forest, Professor, 

 High Spirits, St. Leger, True, 

 Adam Bede, Diamond Dust, 



Diadem, New Forest Ethel, Brokenhurst Dainty II., Brokenhurst 

 Lottery, Kate Cole, First Arrival, Brokenhurst Agnes, Hester 

 Sorrel, and Deacon Ruby, many of which have attained champion 

 rank, and nearly all a high place on the benches. 



Mr. Tinne enjoys the friendship of a vast number of Doggy 

 People, and is a most enthusiastic fancier, who confines his attention 

 entirely to the variety with which he has been so long associated. 

 He has given, and still gives, an immense amount of time to the 

 business of the Kennel Club, of which he has been one of its most 

 active and useful members. His invariable courtesy and straight- 

 forward dealing have gained him the esteem of all classes with whom
