FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jaw. 29, 1885. 



that cannot be done by bragging, but which may be overcome 

 oy perseveraaice." "Saxon" and some others whom I could 

 mention, cannot breed better-looking pointers than Water 

 Lily, and yet they try to show that then- theory is right and 

 mine wrong. • e 



"Saxon" refers to my critique on the pointers at the New 

 It ark show last spring, with a view to proving that I am a 

 raise prophet, and that Croxteth is a great stock dog. What 

 does reference to the critique show? Wiry, that all Croxteth's 

 get inherit his structural faults, and that my opinion of him 

 lias been indorsed m a most substantial manner. Let us appeal 

 to the report itself, at least so far as it relates to Croxteth's 

 get. Forest aot Stream, May 33, 1884; "Drake (Croxteth— 

 Lass), placed second, was not entitled to the honor. * * * 

 Drake has a slack back, bad loin and faulty feet, which are 

 fadings I cannot tolerate in a pointer, or indeed, in any sport- 

 ing dog." Now for No. 2: "Scout, also by Croxteth, is faulty 

 in back, lorn and feet, besides being plain in face." No. ?•: "1 

 never have seen pointer classes handled so badlv as were the 

 next two for smail size dogs and bitches. Had the judge been 

 asked to select the worst dog in the class, he could not have 

 succeeded better than when he placed Pride (Croxteth— Royal 

 Fan) first. He was absolutely the worst dog in the class, and 

 should not have been noticed. He is wide in front, has crooked 

 forelegs, with feet twisted out (as seen in the dachshund), 

 splay feet, a weak back, and bad loins * * * The best dog 

 in the class was Heath's Dash, a nice lemon and white of good 

 quality. He was not even commended." The Forest and 

 Stream report, which appeared May 15. said: "The open dog 

 class was not well handled. Pride, who won first, was in -• np 

 ital condition, which is about all that can be said in his favor." 



In order to convince "Saxon" that I am not after all such a 

 false prophet, I will remind him that Dash, not worth a com- 

 mended card under Mr. Sterling's judgment, Avon first prize at 

 the National Breeder's show (in a much better class) when 

 adjudicated upon by a better judge, Mr. Davidson. Now for 

 No. 4. ' 'Vision l Croxteth— Vinnie) , though by no means a bad 

 bitch, did not deserve second prize, which was clearly won 

 by Belle (Gregory's). Though Vision has a fair good head 

 neck, legs and feet, her loin is bad, as is also her tail and the 

 carriage of her ears." No. 5. "In the bitch class, the Never- 

 sink Lodge Kennels' Jilt (Croxteth— Lass) won, and was 

 properly placed at the head of affairs. 1 cheerfully admit 

 that I never expected to see Croxteth sire so good ahitm 

 She is a trifle fine in muzzle and inclined to bethroatv for one 

 so young. She is also too wide in front and a trifle slack 

 behind the shoulders, nevertheless she is a good one, and had 

 I been judge she would have won the special for best pointer 

 bitch in the show, as the winner, Vanity, cannot compare 

 with her." 



Now. Mr. "Saxon," you see why it is not wise to breed to 

 a dog of Croxteth's faulty conformation. When we take into 

 consideration the opportunities he has had, his record is any- 

 thing but brilliant. He is the sire of two good-looking bitches, 

 the best ot which is not first-rate, as will be gathered from 

 my criticism of her. It is a notable fact that Jilt, Lady Crox- 

 teth and Drake are all from the same litter and' this is 

 further evidence that very few bitches nick well with Crox- 

 teth. One of the fitter is fearfully defective in back, loin and 

 feet, whereas the other two are faulty in back. "Saxou" 

 seems to be ignorant of the fact that every dog has a dam as 

 well as a sire, and while not wisliing to deprive Croxteth Of 

 one grain of credit due him, as the sire of tie Lass litter. I 

 ask if it would be unfair to allow the bitch some credit also, 

 and especially so when we bear in mind how few bitches bred 

 to Croxteth ever produce good-looking stock. Perhaps when 

 Lady Croxteth and Jilt have puppies'somebody will wonder 

 how it is that they are not so good looking as their dam, and 

 perhaps those who look for the characteristics of sire and 

 dam, will find in their stead the structural faults of the grand- 

 sire. Croxteth's faulty conformation cannot be bred out at 

 one cross, nor two either, and the day will come when these 

 few lines will be recalled to the memory of many an owner 

 of pointers. 



If a dog has a fair good field record, people at once proceed 

 to breed every type of bitch under the sun to him. This is a 

 mistake, it is a blunder that will make itself felt when it ihaj 

 be too late to correct it, A slack-backed dog, or a bad-loined 

 dog, or a splay-footed dog, may put in brilliant work at a 

 field trial, but if endurance were the test, how would such 

 atumals acquit themselves? How many race horses that are 

 wanting in bone and substance, and even faulty in the back 

 and at other points, can gallop and gallop fast for a quarter 

 of a mile or so? There are hundreds of them. Examine them 

 well, and then look at such as Mr. Gretton's Isonomy. He 

 coidd gallop for a week, and would be going strong and well 

 while the others were being carried into the stable. You 

 would breed to such a norse, and pay the one hundred guineas 

 stud fee sooner than you would pay twenty-five guineas for 

 the services of a "quarter mile flyer." Why? 



It is said the owner of Don once came very near giving him 

 up as a bad ease. In less persevering hands the dog would, in 

 all probabilit}', never have been heard of, whereas he now 

 takes rank among the best field dogs of the day. Who would 

 have bred to him if he had been beaten in his first heat and 

 after that retired? Who would have stopped to think that, 

 as he comes of a rare working strain, and of a good-looking 

 strain in the bargain, he might, if bred to suitable bitches, get 

 better looking stock than himself? Nobody. He would have. 

 been a dead letter in the histoi-y of dogs. 1 would sooner^breed 

 to Don ten thousand times over than to Croxteth, although I 

 know he is not a show dog. Why? Because his struc- 

 tural faults are such that can be easier bred out 

 than Croxteth's, and he possesses many of the most 

 mxportant requisites to be looked for in a field dog, 

 viz., good back, good loin, excellent legs and feet, 

 plenty of bone and substance, besides which he comes of a 

 family known to be both good and good-looking. His worst 

 fault is coarseness or lack of quality. How much easier to get 

 quality through the dam than to breed out such everlasting 

 faults as slack backs, weak loins, splay feet, and shallow 

 chests. Why, "Saxon," we have been striving for years to 

 breed away from such faulty conformation, and because I, 

 for one, refuse to turn back and encourago its wholesale pro- 

 duction, some generous critic accuses me of denouncing "men 

 and dogs that have incurred my displeasure." I do not ask 

 "Saxon" and his friends to turn from the road they are on. 

 In the most friendly manner I gave them timely warning. If 

 a man throws himself into the water, what is the use of pul- 

 ling him out until he has been in long enough to teach him 

 better than go there again? 



Have I advised "Saxon" and his friends to breed to Beau- 

 fort since that dog became my property? I think not. It is 

 sufficient for me to know that iny opinion of the dog as ex- 

 pressed in Forest and Stream twelve months before I pur- 

 chased him has been indorsed by eveiy competent judge who 

 has seen him. What I then wrote is a clear denial of "Saxon's" 

 statement that I said the dogs imported into this country 

 were scrubs. Here it is. Forest and Stream, Aug. 16, 1883: 

 "There are many good-looking dogs here, but few are ever 

 produced equal to the imported stock, and this fact supports 

 me in what I stated before I had been here many months, 

 that good pointers cannot be produced unless people go to 

 work very differently from what they are doing. No judg- 

 ment seems to be used, and bitches are bred from tit random 

 to the most unsuitable sires. There is no denying tibia, and 

 yet America can boast of having bred Beaufort, who is in my 

 opinion, the best pointer living that I have seen." The dog 

 now stands in the stud as the best pointer dog living. If 

 "Saxon" can find one to beat him why don't he say so and let 

 us come to business. My offer to show him for any reason- 

 able sum against any other dog, is stfil open. 



"Saxon" asks for evidence that Beaufort is a great stud clog. 

 Here it is. The dog has been in the stud one year only. He 



sired the first, second, vhc. and he, winners in one class at 

 Washington, 1884. One of the papers said the class was the 

 best ever seen in America. He sired the winning bitch and 

 the winning puppies at the same show, also the first prize 

 puppy at New Haven, and the first prize winner at New York 

 1884. Mr. Little John, I know, has refused 8500 for a son of 

 his, Fritz, who, by the way, is probably the best lemon and 

 white pointer dog in America. Compare the Forest and 

 Stream's critique on this dog with what the paper said of 

 Croxteth's get. "We greatly admired Fritz, who won first. 

 He is very good all over, with no striking faults, and does 

 great credit to his sire, Beaufort." Tell me, "Saxon," where 

 the dog is by Croxteth that would stand a ghost of a chance 

 of success alongside of Fritz. 



"Saxon" was joking when he said that not one of Beaufort's 

 get has been considered good enough to start in a field trial. 

 A very fair statement to make about a dog that has only been 

 in the stud twelve months. How many of Croxteth's get had 

 rim in a trial twelve months after Mr.'Macdona landed with 

 him in America? Try again, "Saxon." Unfortunately I do 

 not own any of Beaufort's get that are old enough to compete 

 against Croxteth's; but I know where to find them, and if the 

 owners make no objection, I will show two young dogs by 

 him against anything "Saxon" can produce, either for money 

 or a handsome piece of plate, $100 forfeit. Conditions— Men 

 of honor and experience to be the judges. 1 am willing to 

 leave the selection in the hands of the Forest and Stream, 

 or I shall be glad to entertain any reasonable proposal 

 "Saxon" may wish to make. Inclosed please find my check 

 for $100. Charles H. Mason.

A FOX-TERRIER CLUB. -Editor Forest and Stream: An 

 attempt will be again made during the coming fanciers' show 

 to organize an American fox-terrier club. The secretary of 

 the fanciers' show, Mr. Chas. R. Harker, has with great cour- 

 tesy offered every assistance, should the effort come to aught. 

 I have written personally to most of our fox-terrier men ask- 

 ing bhem to be present on the 10th prox., at Madison Square 

 Garden, and that Mr. Harker has promised to give us every 

 accommodation to facilitate the meeting. Now that tins breed 

 has become such a feature at our shows, it is very desirable 

 that a standard be accepted to judge them. Looking through 

 the exhibits at any large show in this country, you will find 

 many prizes winners of different types.— Edward Kelly. 



DOGS FOUND.— A correspondent writes that he knows the 

 whereabouts of a red Irish setter that was advertised a few 

 weeks ago, but has forgotten the owner's address. A reward 

 of $26, and subsequently of §50, was offered. Our corre- 

 spondent does not wish the reward, but will give the owner 

 information regarding the dog if he will communicate with 

 him through Forest and Stream. 



A black and white setter dog, near Newark, N. J. The 

 owner can have same by addressing "16-Bore," care Forest 

 and Stream office, city. 



THE NEW YORK FANCIERS' CLUB'S SHOW.— The 

 managers of the New York Fanciers' Club's show, to be held 

 at Madison Square Garden Feb. 4 to 11 have added classes for 

 fox-terriers to the list which was published in Forest and 

 Stream, Jan. 15. The prizes are: Dogs, $10, $5, and certifi- 

 cate; bitches the same; puppies, $8, $4, and certificate. There 

 will also be a special cash prize for the best litter of puppies 

 under six months old. Entries close Jan. 31. Chas. R Harker, 

 Secretary, 62 Cortlandt street, {New York. 



RULE 12.— Editor Forest and Stream: I have read with 

 much interest in your issue of to-day the correspondence be- 

 tween Messrs. Mason and Cornell. Doubtless the former 

 gentleman thinks that the two letters as published are com- 

 plete in themselves. They are. But had he desired to enter 

 further into controversy with the W. K. C, he might have 

 made to Mr. Cornell's curt reply the yet more curt rejoinder 

 that in law fraud vitiates all rules— even Rule 12 of the W. 

 K. C— Meat-Hawk (Jan. 22). 



KNICKERBOCKER KENNEL CLUB.— Jersey City, N. 

 J., Jan. 26, 1885.— Editor Forest and Stream: At the
