of rare old Lancer, 

 convinced him that 

 a Terrier could be 

 at once a topper at 

 work and a picture 

 to look at. Breed- 

 ing on these lines, he 

 gradually founded a 

 kennel strain which 

 for style, work, and 

 the true character- 

 istics of the breed 

 is well known and 

 appreciated far and 

 wide. 



Mr. Vicary has 

 always eschewed fads ; 

 he goes in for no one 

 particular point to be 

 bred for and exagger- 

 ated at the expense 

 of others. " Good 

 legs and feet and 

 nothing else " have 

 not tempted him to 



lose sight of what a Fox-terrier ought to be, and adhesion to his 

 judgment on this matter however Fashion might run sticking 

 to the type, has amply repaid him by the success his kennel has 

 achieved to whatever part of the world Terriers of his breeding 

 have gone. 



Mr. Vicary scored his first win at the Royal Cornwall Show his 

 first attempt and made his first judging effort at the same show 

 some two years later. Since then' he has officiated at nearly all the 

 best shows. He occasionally judges Irish Terriers, and has had 

 before him some of the strongest classes ever seen. 



Undertaking the Mastership of the South Devon Fox-hounds some 

 four years ago, in conjunction with Mr. W. M. G. Singer, has 

 prevented his accepting many judging invitations or often exhibiting, 

 but he has lost no interest in his Terriers, and probably has now the 

 best lot of dogs he ever possessed.
