A BIRMINGHAM DOG SHOW 261 



Baby, and a dog with an unwriteable name, were 

 bred by Mr Purcell Llewellin, who has three more 

 of the same litter in his kennel far superior to 

 these. His pointer bitch, Belle, was absent, but 

 in her place was a large photograph — another 

 species of puff. The bitch is not A 1, being a

 a first in Class 34, it is an incomprehensible bit 

 of judgment ; for Mr Llewellin's eleven months

 am forced to admit that the Ehiwlas kennel is but 

 a second-rate one. Mr Purcell Llewellin had 

 eight entries, one absent (Nellie). None of his 

 dogs were in feather, yet so good are they that out 

 of the seven who represented him six were to the 

 fore — two first prizes, one second prize, and three 

 highly commended. This is something like form. 

 Prince took the first in the Champion Class. He 

 is, without doubt, the handsomest headed setter in 

 England, and the Champion Countess not only

 won at the Crystal Palace this year, taking 

 champion prize and extra cup — the same at 

 Birmingham in 1872 and 1873 ; first prize and
