THE ST. BERNARD. 



A H an old breeder of St. Bernards, and one who has spent 

 j. V many happy hours in watching their progress from 



rhen thev have 'received 11: 

 to ask you to allow me 

 words on the subject of 



iie.si pupiivlioo'd to the t 

 lirst cxliibitfon honors, I ventur 

 space in the. Journal to say a fc 

 type. 



A I the late St. Bernard Club show, on my suggesting to a 



member of the cnminitte thai [ieonard,-the winnerof the 

 Challenge Cup, would have been greatly improved had he 

 been of the standard color and markings. I was somewhat 

 startled by being mot will, ihe ouestion. ■'What standard, 

 and I.n u hoi, i was it laid down.'" 1 confessed to no less an 

 authority than Stonehenge and other writes, who had gained 

 (heir information from tin monks at the Hospice of St. Ber- 

 nai-d. 



These writers, for the most part, agree upon one poiut— 

 that the body color of the St. Bernard dog should be orange- 

 tawny, or brindle, and that the monks set great value upon 

 certain white markings. 



Stonehenge, in' his second edit ion of '• Dogs of the British 

 Islands," savs. "At the time we were the guests of the monks 

 they had but three dogs— Burrv, Pinto and Pallas, which 

 were orange-tawny laid white legs, flecked slightly with 

 icani.c. white bellv, and white collar round the neck, Irom 

 y-eshalfwaj down, the face was black, than suddenly

Did conip.i red n to the badge of their order, a white 

 r bane, single behind, slit to pass oyer the neck, and 

 J ends tucked into tho black dress in front of the 



s the standard to which I have bred, and until lately 

 dogs so marked have been awarded the highest honors on the 

 shoe, bench. There, are, however, main hatfdsbnje dogs 

 which have a preponderance of white in their markings, and 

 others that are self-colored with no white; but I have always 

 Bapported the former in preference to the latter, as being 

 nearer to the type portrayed by the monks, and showing a 

 greater distinction from the mastiff and Newfoundland, and 

 have maintained that, setting aside the fact that marked 

 dogs have a far more, grand appearance, the admission of 

 self-colored to the prize list encourages m. -; -breeding with 

 other large, breeds, as it is well known that some of the' finest 

 dogs, irrespective of type, are to be secured by crosses be 

 t worn Newfoundlands, mastiffs and HP Bernards. While on 

 the subject of color, I would remark that a black fringe on 

 the lower part of the eyes, and black ears are a great, set-off 

 to correctly marked orange-tawny dogs, and tiger-markings 

 to brindled, each are to be obtained by crossing the orange 

 with the darker or mahogany brindle. 



Diversity of opinion has always existed as to the advantage 

 of dew claws, but. here again there is reliable proof that the 

 absence Ojt them is a blemish iu the eyes of the monks, and it, 

 is a siL'iiilicanl fact thatlhave failed to met t v, ith any owner 

 of a dog with a well-developed pair who considered them a 

 defect. There can be no doubt that the presence of six toes 

 on Ihe foot assists the animal in walking over the snov 



enabled to fiud the Hospice by following the track- i i th 

 dogs, winch is a further proof oi the use of an ■- rfl large 



so strong an advocate for markings and dew claws. Tlic
