DOG CHAT. 



Louisville Doe; Show. 



The entries for the Louisville Kennel Clab dog show, 

 received too late for our last issue, number 546, as follows: 

 Beagles 16, black and tan terriers 5, Boston terriers 2, bull- 

 dogs 9, bull-terriers 19, Chesapeake Bay dogs 2, cocker span- 

 iels 17, collies 27, dachshunds 4, deerhounds 2, English setters 

 60, field spaniels 2, foxhounds 37, fox-terriers 69, great Danes 

 6, greyhounds 17, Gordon setters 9, Irish setters 24, Irish ter- 

 riers 7, Irish water spaniels 2, Italian greyhounds 9, King 

 Charles spaniels 2, mastiffs 14, miscellaneous 8, Newfound- 



sidering the time of. year and the distance from the head 

 centers of dogdom, the above entry is exceedingly good, and 

 the club must be congratulated upon their good fortune. 

 At the same time there is a good deal of dissatisfaction 

 among exhibitors in the East, as they made entries under the 

 impression for which the club is responsible, that some 

 special arrangements would be made regarding their own 

 aud their dogs' transportation to the show. From what we 

 can learn little has been done in this respect, and several 

 entries will remain at home. Still, the entry is sufficiently 

 large and of such quality as to promise the best show ever 

 held in the South, if we except Richmond in 1888. 



"We have received the second volume of, Rawdon Lee's 

 work on "Modern Dogs." This is devoted to the non-sport- 

 ing division, with the exception of terriers, which will be 

 treated of in another volume. The work is profusely illus- 

 trated with excellent wash drawings of dogs denoting the 

 different breeds, by R. H. Moore and Arthur Wardle. The 

 early history of the different breeds will prove very interest- 

 ing both to the veteran fancier and the novice, and shows 

 careful research. The chapters on collies, poodles, bulldogs, 

 St. Bernards and mastiffs, are particularly instructive. Each 

 breed is thoroughly treated, the facts of their origin, or as 

 much of them as are known are given, together with names 

 of the principal dogs and exhibitors from the earliest shows 

 down to the present date. As a, fin de slecle book on dogs it 

 should meet with ready sale among lovers of the dog, as it 

 covers the ground so thoroughly and at the same time suc- 

 cinctly that the reader who is interested in dogs will scarcely 

 find a dull page in the whole book. The up to date standard 

 of each breed is also given. The book is for sale at this 

 office, price $6. 



There was quite a good deal of interest shown round the 

 St. Bernard ring at the Specialty Show. Miss Whitney had 

 come down to see how she stood in regard to past judging. 

 She did not complain. Mr. Reick dropped in for an hour, 

 and in attending the St. Bernard Club meeting and other 

 ways showed that he has not lost interest in the breed. Col. 

 Ruppert, Jr., forebore watching the grand performance of his 

 two year old race horse Court Tenor in order to see the 

 judging. Mrs. Nicholson, Mrs. Hughes, the Manns, John 

 Brett, Messrs. Christopher and Link, of Newark; Pred 

 Schmidt, Mrs. Smith and C. A. Pratt, who had come on from 

 Little Ptock, Arkansas, were also interested in the results 

 Around the spaniels were C. M. Nelles, A. C. Wilmerding 

 Geo. Bell, A. Laidlaw, Mrs. Meacham and Mrs. Gilligan, N. 

 T. Payne, from Kingston, Pa., but who left Donovan at 

 home; James E. Green, who came from Boston, all on ac- 

 count of Lisa; Geo. Thomas, who had quite a field day with 

 his new dog. He should become a member of the Spaniel 

 Club now. A. Beecher was also leaning over the fence. 



Around the collies there were few others than those di- 

 rectly exhibiting. Henry "Nonchalant" Jarrett won a yacht 

 with his Christopher, but expecting it would cost too much 

 to keep in commission, he sold it to Mr. C. T. Sackett, who 

 no doubt will bend its sails on the broad bosom of Lake On- 

 tario. The yacht was quite three feet long. With such en- 

 thusiasts in the ring as Winthrop Rutherfurd, who has 

 returned looking well and bronzed from his trip in the Valiant; 

 August Belmont, who dropped in for a while; Clarence Rath- 

 bone, who pulled off another lucrative sweep with his Roy- 

 alist—the puppy of the year; Harry W. Smith, with his wiry 

 winners, the fox-terrier ring had quite a New York appear- 

 ance. Messrs. Thayer and Hunnewell were, however, missed. 

 Dr. Foote and Mr. Ritchie were on hand, but 1 hey missed a 

 great snap this time. Mr. Matthews looked after the welfare 

 of the bulldog interests, but there were few of the cognos- 

 centi present if we except P. S. Hoyt, "Jim" Robinson and 

 Frank Dole. Bob Armstrong and his brother must have 

 been satisfied with their efforts on behalf of the Cragston 

 Kennels. 



We regret to hear that the well-known St. Bernard bitch 

 Ellen Terry is dead. She died two weeks since of puerperal 

 fever four days after whelping to Eboracum. Ellen Terry 

 had proved herself a good matron in her early days, and the 

 loss to her late owners, Messrs. Woodin & Hoyt, is a rather 

 severe one. 



Another nice St. Bernard bitch, Rosabel, who belonged to 

 the Swiss Mountain Kennels, has also passed away, owing to 

 maternal duties. She died during parturition the week after 

 Philadelphia. We believe that we have already stated that 

 Castor of Coutoocock, that Mrs. Smyth sold at Philadelphia 

 show, died of distemper a few days after that event. 



Andrew Laidlaw, of Gait, Ont., sold during the show the 

 two winning red cocker pups, Mr. and Mrs. Bow Wow to 

 Mr. C. T. Sackett, of «ape Vincent, N. Y. 



We understand that Mr. Christopher, of Newark, N. J. 

 who is quietly getting together a small kennel of Russian 

 wolfhounds, is importing a dog from Europe. 



Mr. H. G. Trevor, who has done po much for poodledom in 

 this country, made a splendid display of about thirty dogs 

 from his kennels. The stalls were tastefully arranged. He 

 was successful in disposing of several youngsters, among them 

 two at $125 each, one to Mr. Bayard Cutting and the other to 

 Mr. R. L. Ogden, both New York society men. Mr. Trevor 

 has spent money lavishly on his kennels, the buildings alone 

 costing something like $5,000. He is getting some of it back 

 now, for during the past six weeks he has sold upward of 

 $2,000 worth of puppies and other stock. Of course his ad- 

 vertisement is in Foeest and Stream. 



We were pleased to see Mr. George Jarvis around again. 

 The owner of the crack pointer Lad of Kent has had pneu- 

 monia and hardly looks in such good show condition as 

 usual, but is now on the road to recovery. 



The debate on the interpretation of the A. K. C. Rule IX. 

 during the last meeting of the club and the action taken 

 thereon will affect the interests of several prominent exhib- 

 itors and judges who have been expelled from the specialty 

 clubs, members of the A. K. C. There seems to be no room 

 for debate in the matter; the wording is plain enough. 



As we write this Mr. James Robinson, manager of the 

 Woodlawn Park Kennels, is on his way to Louisville show 

 with 18 entries, and where he expects to scoop up the collie 

 and bulldog prizes at least. Five more bull pups lately born 

 in the kennels, are doing well, and bid fair to be as good as 

 the last litter. 



The different specialty clubs, the Bulldog, Fox-Terrier and 

 Collie, had their trophies displayed in glasses in the sections 

 devoted to their breeds, and these lent additional interest to 

 the scene. 



The season closes with a rather more than usual amount of 

 gossip regarding passing events. The disqualification of 

 Geo. Bell is the result of a laissez faire policy on his part 

 that is past explanation. The circumstances of the case are 

 briefly: That Mr. Bell bought a consignment of dogs from 

 Mr. Granger's kennels when the latter gave up breeding. 

 Among them were Rejoice and Blemton Consequence, an old 

 winner. Mr. Martin, of San Francisco, negotiated for the 

 sale of Consequence, as he supposed, heavy in whelp to Dusky 

 Trap. Mr. Bell thinks Consequence is Rejoice and vice versa, 

 and the result is Rejoice is shipped to San Francisco within 

 a few days of whelping, slips and probably eats her puppies 

 on the way, and Mr. Martin brings charges against Bell for 

 selling a bitch purporting to be in whelp when she was not 

 so. Meanwhile at Toronto show Mr. Bell showed Conse- 

 quence as Rejoice, supposing she was that bitch. Along 

 comes Mr. Hopkins and saw the bitch, recognizes her as old 

 Consequence, and so informed Mr. Bell of the discovery. 

 The case was afterward brought to the Kennel Club's and 

 Mr. Martin's notice. His first charge fell through, as it was 

 proved the bitch was in whelp; but as Mr. Bell took no steps 

 afterward to rectify the mistake he had made about the two 

 bitches, though given ample time and opportunity to do so, 

 the club thought a little discipline was necessary, and Mr. 

 Bell will retire for one year. 



Mr. Morris is in trouble, too, but his case is now with the 

 advisory committee and consequently sub judice, so we can 

 say little further about this than that Mr. Morris contracted 

 to import a field spaniel dog for Mr. Preston, which was to 

 come over for the New York show. In the meanwhile Mr. 

 Morris imports a bitch, and the dog not being forthcoming a 

 proposition was made to Mr. Preston that if the dog did not 

 arrive he should have the bitch. To this Mr. Preston agreed, 

 the bitch came over, but Mr. Morris would not let her go, 

 and hence the charge to the A. K. C. preferred by Mr. Pres- 

 ton and also court proceedings, whereby the bitch was seized 

 by the deputy sheriff at the show on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. 

 Morris will now have to sue for its recovery. The advisory 

 committee held long meetings on the case Thursday and 

 Friday, and finally decided in view of the case coming to 

 court to allow it to be settled there first and then they would 

 deal with the matter accordingly. There is no proof that 

 the dog has even been bought yet. 



Mr. Thomas Shillcock, of Birmingham, England, has sold 

 the noted Princess Florence, in whelp to Young Bute, to Mr. 

 J. Storey. 



Mr. Geo. A. Fletcher, of Boston, Mass., is importing a collie 

 bitch from Mr. Tom Stretch's kennel, in whelp to Rufford 

 Ormonde. 



A correspondent in an English paper in speaking of com- 

 minuted fractures in dogs' legs and the idea that they are 

 practically incurable, remarks that while this is true in cases 

 where the soft parts surrounding the bone have been badly 

 injured, a great deal depends upon keeping the limbs mo- 

 tionless and also upon the state of the dog's health. A dog 

 in hard condition, the result of proper food and exercise, 

 would have a good chance to recover from a comminuted 

 fracture to which a pampered animal would succumb. He 

 then relates that he once assisted in setting the thigh of a 

 smooth-haired terrier, which had been smashed so badly, close 

 above the hock-joint, that the bone, for about an inch in 

 length, felt as if broken into at least five or six pieces. Evi- 

 dently there was no chance of these uniting unless the foot 

 could be kept off the ground, and all movements of the limb, 

 from the stifle downwards, prevented. Two strips of gutta 

 percha were kept in hot water until quite soft, then quickly 

 dried with a cloth. One, a rather broad piece, was moulded 

 so as to form a sling, which held the back of the hock and leg 

 below it, at right angles to the thigh; the ends reaching, one 

 inside and the other outside, as far up as the stifle. The other 

 strip was wound round this from the hock upwards, and held 

 until both pieces had become stiff. A cotton bandage was 

 applied over them, and the dog was placed in a covered 

 basket, broad enough to .allow her to lie flat on her side, but 

 not high enough to permit of her standing up. She was a 

 sensible, docile patient, and remained very quiet, except when 

 taken out of the basket for a few minutes night and morning. 

 The piece of bone united so perfectly that she ultimately re- 

 covered without having the slightest trace of lameness. 



About eighteen months ago we published the fact that 

 Mr. Andrew Laidlaw, so well known in the cocker fancy, 

 had removed from Woodstock to Gait, Ont., where he started 

 a weekly paper called The Weekly Reformer. His many 

 friends in the spaniel fancy will, we are sure, be pleased to 

 hear that he has made such a success of his venture that on 

 April 6 the paper began its career as a daily. A copy of 

 the paper which we have received shows that, as in his 

 cocker breeding, he keeps his paper well up with the times. 



Imagination. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



A case of imagination in my Chesapeake Bay bitch Mary 

 F. has just occurred that I think may interest your readers. 

 On Jan. 24 1 bred her to a very fine dog belonging to a neigh- 

 bor; stinted to the same dog once before, she brought forth 

 thirteen puppies. This time for some reason she failed to 

 conceive, but. on April 2 she made her bed in her kennel, and 

 for four days has gone through all the motions of a bitch 

 with a litter of puppies. I have five other dogs; these she 

 will not allow to come near her box, driving them off and 

 acting just as she would if puppies were in the box; when off 

 on a walk with the other dogs she is as good-natured as she 

 has always been, but on coming home it is a case of "stand 

 off" if they go near her box. I searched her kennel^thinking 

 it possible she might have had one dead puppy, which she 

 had buried under the straw, but found nothing. 



Her action at first worried me a good deal, as a sudden 

 change of disposition from good nature to crossness is a pre- 

 curser of hydrophobia, of which I have had two cases when 

 residing in Pennsylvania, but which disease I am disposed 

 to think does not exist on the eastern shore of Maryland, 

 and is rare even here, except in the imagination of many 

 people. 



I think the above case extremely interesting, and would 

 like to know if any dog owners have ever had a similar ex- 

 perience. Mary's actions are hard to describe, but any one 

 who has owned an intelligent dog under like circumstances, 

 seeing Mary's behavior, would, if here, want to "look at the 

 litter of puppies" that they would naturally think from her 

 actions were in her kennel. Sinkboat. 



Easton, Md., April 6. 



Field Trials Grounds. 



The matter of good grounds is always important to a club, 

 since they are very essential to the success of a field trial. 

 In a letter under date of April 3, Mr. W. W. Titus, of 

 Waverly, Miss., wrote me as follows in respect to the 

 grounds at West Point, Miss., once the scene of the American 

 Field Trial Club in 1888: 



"I think that the United States Field Trial Club and the 

 prospective new one at Louisville, could not do better than 

 to take the West Point, Mi3S., grounds. They can get them 



gratis, and will only have to be out the hire of a man to 

 watch them during the open season, from Nov. 15 to Feb 1. 

 There are there two as good hotels as there are in the State. 

 One will be equipped with hot baths, etc., by fall, and will give 

 rates at $1.25 or a little higher, per day. Saddle horses not 

 over $1.50, amd I think at $1.25. The town has a good opera 

 house, and evening entertainments will probably be going 

 on. The grounds, the most important part, are the best that 

 I have ever seen for field trial purposes. Birds are suffici- 

 ently numerous to insure plenty for the trials without stock- 

 ing. All in all, I am confident that such grounds cannot be 

 duplicated. And when the railroad facilities, the good 

 accommodations, etc , are taken into consideration, I think 

 any club cannot do better than to take them."

The American Foxhound Standard. 



The American foxhound while differing in many respects 

 from the English, should be judged upon the same value of 

 points. 



The American hound should be smaller and lighter in 

 muscle and bone. Dogs should not be under 21 nor over 

 23Xin., nor weigh moi-e than 571bs. Bitches should not be 

 under 20 nor over 22>£in. , nor weigh more than oOlbs. 



Head (value 15) should be of medium size with muzzle in 

 harmonious proportions. The skull should be rounded 

 crosswise with a slight peak — line of profile nearly straight 

 — with sufficient stop to give symmetry to head. Ears 

 should reach to within lin. of end of muzzle and should be 

 thin, soft in coat, low set and closely peudant. Eyes soft, 

 medium size aud varying shades of brown. Nostrils slightly 

 expanded. The head as a whole should denote hound 

 "character." 



Neck (value 5) must be clean and of good length, slightly 

 arched, strong where it springs from shoulder and gradually 

 tapering to head, without trace of throatiness. 



Shoulders (value 10) should be of sufficient length to give 

 leverage and power— well sloped, muscular, but with clean 

 run and not too broad. 



Chest and Back Bibs (value 10). The chest should be deep 

 for lung space, narrower in proportion to depth than the 

 English hound— 28in. in a 23>£in. hound being good. Well 

 sprung ribs— back ribs should extend well back— a Sin. flank 

 allowing springiness. 



Back and Loin (value 10) should be broad, short and 

 strong, slightly arched.
