These axe the rats dug out and killed by a Vibert Airedale Terrier in less than two houi3 
East, unless it has come from the stock 
bred in the above named states. 
The origin of the dog is really not 
known. Some stick to the English Otter 
Hound and Labrador Retriever cross; 
ethers hold to the Newfoundland theory. 
One thing is certain — there is a great 
resemblance between the Labrador and 
the Chesapeake. 
Below are the points of a Chesapeake 
as adopted by the American Chesapeake 
Club: 
Weight — Males, 65 to 75 pounds. 
Females, 55 to 65 pounds. 
Height — Males, 23 to 26 inches. 
Females, 21 to 24 inches. 
Coat — The coat should be thick and 
short, nowhere over one and one-half 
inches long, with a dense, fine, wooly un- 
der coat. Hair on face and legs should 
be short and straight, with a tendency 
to wave on the shoulders, neck, back and 
loins only. The curly coat, or a tendency 
to curl, is not permissible. , 
Color — Should be as near dead grass 
as possible, varying from a tan to a 
faded brown. The dark brown or liver 
color not permissible; a white spot on 
breast or toes allowed. 
GENERAL DISQUALIFICATIONS 
Dark brown, black or liver colored. 
White on any part of the body except 
.breast, belly or spots on feet. 
Feathering on tail or legs over one 
and three-quarter inches long. 
Dew claws, over-shot, under-shot or 
any deformity. 
Curly coat or tendency to curl all over. 
This article is not written in a spirit 
of criticism and I trust that Mr. Vickroy 
of Ohio, over whose signature the Sep- 
tember article appeared, will consider it 
in the spirit that it is given. As a 
staunch lover and breeder of the Chesa- 
peake I don’t want any man to think 
that a pure-bred Chesapeake was ever 
black or red. 
Mr. Vickroy’s description of their sa- 
gacity, love, etc., is very conservative, 
as they are without a doubt the greatest 
dog bred today. The above statement 
will probably get me into a big argu- 
ment; if it does I will have plenty of 
belp, for there are thousands of sports- 
men who will yield to no one in their 
love and admiration for a Chesapeake.
