The Living Animals of the World 



Rough Collies are very 

 graceful, interesting creatures, 

 and stand first in intelligence 

 amongst canines. They are 

 highly I'lopular. Several have 

 been sold for over £1,000, 

 and the amounts in prize- 

 money and fees obtained by 

 some of the " cracks " would 

 surprise pjersons not in "the 

 fancy.'" A high-bred specimen 

 " in coat " is most beautiful. 

 The colours most favoured are 

 sables with white markings ; 

 Ijut black, white, and tans, 

 known as "tricolors," are 

 pleasing and effective. I quite ho})ed to give a portrait of one of the most perfect of present- 

 day champions, belonging to II. H. the Princess de IMontglyon, but could not find room. 



Smooth Collies are a handsome breed, full of grace, beauty, and intelligence, and very 

 active and lively. A fa\ourite colour is merle, a sort of lavender, with black markings and 

 tan and white in parts, usually associated with one or both eyes china-coloured. Specimens 

 often win in sheep-dog trials ; a bitch of mine won many such, and was more intelligent in 

 other ways than many human beings. 



Old English Sheep-dogs are a most fascinating breed, remarkably active, possessed of 

 much endurance and resource, and very faithful and affectionate. I have often made long

All are typical, Ijut the tirst is the best in quality and markings.
