THE MASTIFF TV"PE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Witb much interest I have read the letters of Messrs. W. 

 Wade and V. Haldem-an in your issues of May 27, June 24 

 and July 1, on - "Phi; TMastilT Judging at New York," or as Mr. 

 Haldeni'an beads it far more correctly, "The Mastifl! Type. " 

 As both have used my name, opinions and writings pretty 

 freely, perhays a few remarks from myself personally on the 

 subject may not be unacceptable to some of your readers, and 

 to .save space and confusion, I may commence by sajnng the 

 article signed "Zoilus" which Mr. Wade refers to (and which 

 has been" thought highly of in this country), w^as from my 

 pen. With regard to the New York jn<lging, Dr. Perry did 

 quite right in boldly placing the exhibits according to his 

 own opinion, but hot having seen the specimens, I can 

 offer no opinion as to how far I should have considered the 

 awards correct. Nevertheless, a judge very often feels com- 

 pelled in all honesty not to keep too strictly to one type. In 

 Mr. Wade's letter tn issue of May 27 there are several in- 

 correct deductions. On the other hand, your editorial foot 

 note A^'a.s very lucid and correct. Moreover, it is evident Mr. 

 Wade is no judge of a pug dog, yet in time I hope he and 

 others will recognize that there is a certain similarity of 

 characteristics in the mastitf, bulldog and pug dog. Again, 

 the cut of Boss in your issue of July 1 shows a very good 

 all round mastiff, yet any one must a^lo^^' it is very similar 

 to an enlarged png, barring the stem. Mr. Wade is quite 

 right in saying that I am as emphatic as any one in con- 

 demnation of ^vcak loins, straight hocks, and general lack of 

 power. 



Mr. Haldeman's letter is to the point and far clearer than 

 Mr. Wade's, as to what he would do, viz.: "Draw up a 



standard to suit the requirements of the animals (mastiffs ?) 

 ill America." This is no iiroposition to try to lay down_what 

 the true type really is, was orsliouldbe, iiorw^hat constitutes 

 a mastiff.' Oh, no'! The whole suggestion reads very similar 

 to the skit of " St. Peter's Advice to Mundella." 



Mr. Haldeman says : " The bulldog layback is a positive 

 malformation, and is more objectionable than the hound 

 muzzle.'' 



i, for one, cannot allow the former statement to be correct, 

 and have yet to learn how a characteristic of the group can 

 be as objectionable as ati evident sign of mongrelism. 

 A;.-i.it'. Haldeman says that " Ilford Caution's upper jaw 

 i " Now, may I ask, without giving ofl'ense, what 



: .,iS Mr. 11. for saying a miizzle can be too short? 



1; ; , : r- he prove it ? His mere ipse dixit won't do, es- 

 pecially when he confesses that evident sign of mongi-elism, 

 (i. c, houiidiness) is less objectionable to him than the pres- 

 ence of a chara(_'teri,stic conimon to the whole ma,stiff group. 

 1 am sorry to have to cut up any one, and to have to show 

 Mr. H. in m'ror, ljut, pro hmui' 'pulMco, 1 must say in this 

 point Mr. Haldeman sho^vs he prefers the mongrel to the 

 real thing, and seems ignoraut of what the true type is in 

 this particular feature. Again, w^hat he says about breeding 

 up to a standni-d calculated merely to suit Western cu.s- 

 tomers reads vcr.\- like a suggestion. So breed away fi-om 

 the true standard for the contemiitible sake of mere pecuni- 

 ary gain, through selling to people who can only comprehend 

 size, lione, muscle and courage, yet are not sharp enough to 

 Itnow thai a loug-muzzled lirute that a Lancashire butcher 

 w^onld be glad to sell for £.^> is not the real thing — not truly 

 the Engli.sh inastiff. If sncdi are the general views and prac- 

 tices of American breeders, it is not to be wondered that 

 " the American breeders arc not able to produce a good-look- 

 ing dog " in the opinion of English critics. It is certain 

 ma.ny second-rate, badly-growu specimens, amounting almost 

 to cripples, have been drafted from this country for America. 



Coming to Mr. ^'Vade^s letter of July 1, shortness of head 

 is one thing, and, if possibly a fault when very pronounced, 

 it is a point in the right direction. Weak loins, crooked 

 legs, general weakness of limb and deficiency of muscle are 

 faults to be condemned, although often brought about by 

 bad rearing and injudicious treatment. With regard to any 

 need of fresh blood, it is a matter of opinion, and in mine 

 quite unnecessary. ' What we as judges need and wiU have 

 is tlie true tjlie, and I for one don't care a button how it is 

 procluced or w^ho produces it. In judging, extreme shortness 

 of head should not carry too much weight Avith it, still head 



Sroperties should always rather outbalance bodily properties, 

 hort muzzles are now more common in England than they 

 were ten years since. It is a point I have ahvays advocated 

 cultivating, as ty].)ical of the breed. The shortness of the 

 top jaw in the true mastifl and projection of the lower jaw 



muzzled, heavily flewed, large-eared and leggy speci mens; 

 after these any undersized specimens, dwarfs and weeds 

 should be sent out. Having got rid of these with any com- 

 mendations they may be deemed worthy of for size or charac- 

 ter, a real judge would then award the prizes to the most 

 perfect all-round specimens left in the ring, such .specimens 

 being necessarily more or less typical and useful animals 

 to breed from, whatever their defects. If it happened that 

 they were a lot of badly-reared, crooked-limbed specimens, 

 they would and shcmld still win, for it stands to reason, if 

 we are judging mastiffs, however ill-grow'n the specimen, it 

 should beat a cross or low^-bred untypical mongrel, how- 

 ever handsome and well-growm that mongrel might be as a 

 dog. 



Unless Mr. Wade and others can grasp and accept this 

 they might as well argue that a well-groA'^ai half-bred boar- 

 hound or bloodhound should have beaten Bill George's 

 Tiger if shown against that grand but accidentally twisted- 

 limbed, weak-loined specimen. Actual lameness is ciuite a 

 different thing, and the Y. S. should have the power to dis- 

 qualify for unsoundness, rather than leaving it to the judge, 

 in my opinion. 



If any other system of judging is pursued, in a very 

 few years the breed would become simply a lot of large 

 sized animals, very deficient in mastiff characteristics, and 

 not necessarily better grown and straighter in limb than 

 our best prize specimens in years past have been as a rule. 

 It is equally a mistake to think that a dog with simply a 

 remarkably characteristic head, but different in every other 

 respect, should or would, in this country, beat a good all 

 round specimen. 



However, Mr. Wade and others, by ventilating the subject 

 of cripples vsdnning prizes, have done good service to the 

 breed, both in England and America, and I trust, however 

 defective his logic may be, he a.s well as others will not drop 

 the subject. Here in England, when once a dog obtains 

 fame, it often subseciuently beats better specimens, simply 

 because those appointed to adjudicate (unlike Dr. Perry) 

 have not the courage to do otherwise than follow in the .steps 

 of their predecessors. Nevertheless, in future we shall 

 probably see more good-bodied ones having good heads; but 

 to say a good-bodied, well-reared, half-bred mongrel, how- 

 ever large, should beat a badly-reared but othemvise highly 

 typical niastiff, is patently incorrect; and if any mitigation 

 of the characteristics is allowed, or any alteration of the 

 standard is made, to suit or favor any set of In-eeders or 

 trainers, it simply implies lowering the standard of per- 

 fection, however difficult it may be to rear large-sized speci- 

 mens, well— having typical heads. 



Breeders shcmld bear in mind that cross-bred cattle are 

 always more robust and grow to a greater size than pure 

 bred ones. The same in every other kind of live stock. Thus 

 low and badly-bred mastiffs,' bred merely wdth a view to size, 

 are naturally easier to rear than high-bred pedigree .stock; 

 and for this reason judges at shows should always give the 

 preference to typical specimens, and in the mastiff the head 

 IS the most typical feature. M. B. WXNN. 



The Elms, Rothlet, LouOHBOEOTOrGH, England, July 20. 



Engl. 



\\dien we come to examine what is the true tyiie. I have 

 fnllv crone into the point of shortness of muzzle in my book, 

 "The Idistorv o£ the Mastili'," pages fia, ftH, f(i2, 191 and 208. 



For my own part I prefer an. active, muscular, medium- 

 f.i;jed mastiff, one approaching more toward the standard 

 fitted for baiting purposes, but we must remember that the 

 onlv legitimate use ior the breed now is as watch dogs, for 

 which activity is not so much required as a formidable ap- 

 pearance, wiiieh means size and a typical head, however ill 

 developed the limbs and muscles may be owing to want of 

 exercise 



Awarding prices to undersized specimens has never been 

 fashionable in England, howeA^er good the specimen, other- 

 wdse old King (3301) would never have been beaten and 

 my Dreadnaught must have carried all before him on the 

 show bench, as except for his want of .size, there w-as nothing 

 to touch him as an all-round good one, a specimen faultless 

 in his build and who could have beaten in a fight most ma.s- 

 tiffs now- on the show bemjh, but the partiality for vast size 

 has been equally an error on the part of judges as well as the 

 general public. 



In judging at a show the ring should first be weeded of 

 all specimens having radically uncharacteristic faults, such 

 as houndinesH, showing signs of a cross among all such un 

 typical brutes, should go out; any very long-headed, sliarj)-
