Fox Terriers 167 



importations, no end of more or less permanent 

 establishments have been undertaken, covering 

 every state in the Union. 



The fox terrier must surely be the most adapt- 

 able of all dogs. You can see him revelling in 

 the snow around Duluth and St. Paul, equally 

 lively and at home in Mobile and New Orleans. 



There could scarcely be such a thing as an 

 exhaustive study of fox terriers in America un- 

 less one were going to bring out a set of tomes 

 like that of the California Bancroft's historical 

 compilations. Nothing worth while would at- 

 tend such an attempt, since a fox terrier is a 

 fox terrier, and either does or does not come up 

 to the standards fixed on the English benches. 

 Moreover, our English friends usually manage 

 every year to trot out a few new champions 

 which they are willing to send over to replenish 

 our supply and perhaps to set new fashions of 

 long heads and toppy ear carriage. Every bench- 

 show season is a sort of new era in terriers.
