Dog Shows and Doggy People 



doubtful if better specimens of these two varieties have been seen, 

 at least in the memory of sportsmen now living, than those emanating 

 from the Bridford kennels, and most of them bred there. 



Mr. Woolland is essentially a busy man, but he is also a keen 

 fancier and sportsman, and takes great pleasure occasionally in a 

 little relaxation in both capacities, and is fully entitled to be 

 considered a " live man " amongst Doggy People. 



A capital portrait of Mr. Woolland is given with this sketch, also 

 portraits of Champion Bridford Brilliant (the Black Field-spaniel 

 whose show career has been in accordance with its name) and of 

 the Sussex Spaniel Champion Bridford Giddie (winner at all the 

 leading shows, and thought by many to be one of the best and most 

 typical specimens of the variety). Though very massive the last 

 named is full of type and quality, with splendid head, good eyes, 

 grand body, and carries a good coat on strong, short, well-formed 

 limbs. These are fair representatives of one of the best kennels 

 of Sporting Spaniels ever seen in this or any other country.
