The Type of Great Danes. 



BY A. H. HEPPNER. 



{Continued from page 11.') 



The standard of tie German Mastiff Club, of Chicago, de- 

 scribes the bead of a great Dane as follows: The head orskuU 

 should neither be domed nor flat, rather lengthy and not 

 too broad, the frontal bon&s slightly raised; little indenta- 

 tion between the eyes, with very little or no stop; cheek 

 muscles well developed, face not too broad. The whole for- 

 mation and expression of head and face should rather more 

 resemble the hound than the bulldog or mastiff, except the 

 muzzle, which is not like that of any other breed, as the Ger- 

 man mastii? or great Dane has a muzzle peculiarly his own, 

 the entire head and face, but much heavier, but more nearly 

 resembling those of the approved bull-terrier than of any 

 other breed. Too much resemblance to the hound is a fault. 



The German standard is: Head moderately stretched out 

 and rather high and more condensed sidewards than appear- 

 injg pressed flat. In profile the forehead and bi'idge of nose 

 ■with a perceptible stop; skull and bridge of nose must ap- 

 pear parallel. In a front view the width of the skull must 

 not be much greater than the strongly developed flews; 

 cheek muscles not projecting, so m.s to give the head a clean- 

 cut appearance from all sides, clearly defined in its lines. 

 Straight, wide bridge of nose, apparently slightly rounded, 

 terminating in a wide nose not projecting over the lips. Lips 

 in front blunt and not very lippy; flew modei'ately developed; 

 teeth of lower and upper jaws meeting even; the eye always 

 nut brown, of good size, round with a penetrating expres- 

 sion; eyebrows strongly developed; ears lightly set. not too 

 far apart and upright, 

 ^ This standard was issued in Hamburg, 1880. Before that 

 time there was no collective name as at present, i. e., German 

 Dogge, and previous to that time there existed specific strains, 

 subdivisions, as I may call them, of the great Dane, under 

 the name of Ulmer dogge, Danische dogge, Hatzriide, 

 Saufanger, etc. All of these names meant special strains 

 and indicated certain exterior (points) of these dogs. These 

 different strains have been bred, separately within them- 

 selves, for centuries and, queerly enough, have been kept 

 pure by virtue of the fact that certain territories of Germany 

 preferred one or the other of these strains. It shows that the 

 great Danes of to-day, as Germany breeds them, is less a 

 matter of merit than of necessity, compulsory as it were, 

 German breeders had to produce typical dogs, because they 

 could breed to no other but their neighbor's dog. We find 

 the Hatzriide and Saufanger more particularly in Wiirtem- 

 herg, as a dog used for practical purposes, combining sub- 

 stance and courage in the practical work in former times of 

 chasing wild boars and large game. 



We find the more graceful and heavier-headed Ulmer 

 dogge also in the south of Germany, but more so as an im- 



?rovement on the coarse and ugly Hatzriide We find the 

 )anische dogge confined to the northern parts of Germany, 

 more especially in large cities, where a big, powerful animal 

 is a nuisance and a graceful, medium-sized, velvet-coated, 

 noble little dog is naturally preferred as a pet. Now let us 

 proceed to describe these strange breeds, each one by itself, 

 and we will have explained why a Melac and why a Wenzel 

 can ejsist when these different strains have only been com- 

 bined by name as Deutsche dogge or, as called in this country 

 great Danes.

A Fair Oflfer Withdrawn. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Mr. Goodman effectually dodges my proposition. I did 

 not want to prove my theory, or I would uot have proposed 

 such a public and expensive way, of which Mr. Goodman is 

 well aware, and never touches upon in his reply, as the 

 carrying out would have, if wrong, exploded my theory very 

 quickly. I will relieve his mind by withdrawing my fair 

 offer, it being now impossible to fulfil the contract, even if 

 Mr. Goodman should uot have backed out, the great Dane 

 Wenzel having fallen a victim to that heinous fiend, the 

 poisoner. It is a pity poor Wenzel was a blue and not a 

 brind^le, you would have seen them all crazy about him then, 

 Mr. Goodman's other remarks I will not reply to now, and 

 in regard to Imperator's uot being underhis charge during the 

 spring show season, I owe htm an apology. He declares he 

 did not have him; then it was somebody else, and a queer 

 business it remains stiU. I should like to see your Chicago 

 staff member interview Imperator's owner about it.

TOEOKTO, Can. — Mr. A. A. Macdonald is now the o^vner of 

 the wire-haired fox-terrier bitch Bonnet, imported by Mr. 

 Brodie. Bonnet at the first try took the special for the best 

 terrier bitch at the recent Toronto Kennel Club show. She 

 will be bred to Mr. Macdonald's new dog Dark Eye. 



My British Columbia correspondent writes me that Mr, J. 

 S. Graham, of Seattle, Wash., was so much taken with Dr. 

 Milne's (Victoria, B. C.) winning cocker puppies that he in- 

 duced him to part with the brace, Mt. Tolmil and Baby 

 Mine, at a \'ery satisfactory figure. Mr. J. C. Carmichael's 

 liver and tan cocker bitch Lady Giffee, has received the at- 

 tentions of Dr. Milne's Captain Hunter and it is hoped the 

 result may give a fillip to "our national dog" on the coast. 



The Seattle show has stirred the British Columbia fan- 

 ciers up and it is on the tapis that an Ea,stern judge will be 

 brought out for their next show. 



The English Kenvel Gazette for June sagely remarks: 

 "There seems to be a tendency in Canada to take up the 

 spaniel fancy * * Well rather! I have heard a rumor 

 or two that appears to point that way. H. B. DONOVAJr.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



There is no charge for answering questions under this head. All 

 questions relating to ailments of dogs will be answered by Dr. T. Q. 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of 'Veterinary Surgeons. 

 Communications referring to other matters connected with Kennel 

 Management and dogs vnll also receive careful attention. 



A. H., Boston, Mass. — Consult our advertising columns. The Cum- 

 berland Kennels, Nashville, Tenn. 



J. H. P., Sistersville, W. Va.— You are right. The momentary stop- 

 ping of the dog cannot be called a false pomt. Reading is the act of ' 

 the dog in following footscent. 



G. G. H., Saratoga Springs, N. Y.— Will you kindly give me the ex- 

 tended pedigree of the Irish terrier Bruce, by Peter IL out of Kate; 

 his winnings are, very high com.. New York, 1892, and high com., 

 Brooklyn, 1893. Ans. Bruce is not registered, and neither are his sire ,' 

 and dam in the English Stud Book, therefore we are unable to give^ 

 pedigr ees.

I flE summary of the British races which we give this week shows 

 several mteresting facts. In the first place the breakdowns have 

 been frequent in all the large boats, and each m turn ha.g been kept 

 out of races to make repairs. As to the merits of the four new 

 yachts, Valkyrie is thus far first and Britannia second, but Sata- 

 nita has sho«-n much greater .speed of late, and with further tuning 

 up IS hkely to give trouble to Britannia after Valkyrie leaves for 

 America. Calluna has not been fully tried under her new rig and it 

 IS impossible to say where she will be at the end of the season , Most 

 of the races have teen sailed in light weather, and only one or tw6 

 in a sea and wind, so that Valkyrie's superiority under these cir- 

 cumstances is decidedly in her favor. Nothing has yet been said 

 about her starting for New York, and as it will take from one to 

 two weeks for her to fit out for the trip, and three to four weeks
