Importing German “Police” Dogs. 
Nine German sheep dogs, the largest im¬ 
portation of trained police dogs, has been made 
by I. De Winter, of the Winterview Kennels, 
Guttenburg, N. J., last week. They were bought 
from various police departments throughout Ger¬ 
many. The collection includes six bitches and 
three dogs. 
The best of the nine, in point of physique 
as well as training, is the black bitch Dina von 
Buron, which Mr. De Winter considers the best 
police dog yet brought into this country. He 
got her in the town of Kaufbeuren, where she 
had established a widespread reputation as a 
canine detective of unusual ability. Several 
American fanciers are said to have tried to pur¬ 
chase Diana last year, but she was then not for 
sale. 
Mr. De Winter, who specializes in German 
and Belgian sheep dogs, intends to start his new 
collection at the police dog trials to be held at 
the Devon (Pa.) show on June 14. He has

been a big winner with sheep dogs, his Herta von 
Herrengrund having “cleaned up” at the West¬ 
minster show. 
These dogs were on duty from 6 o'clock 
in the evening until six in the morning. They 
are absolutely fearless of firearms and are great 
followers of a trail. Most of them are able to 
make a standing high jump of at least eight 
feet, can trip a man with remarkable ease and 
once they get a hold cannot be shaken off un¬ 
less killed or ordered to let go by their masters. 
Kennel Notes. 
The following additional specials are to be 
offered at the Wissahickon (Pa.) Kennel Club 
show: The Western Airedale Terrier Club of¬ 
fers the challenge gold medal for the best Aire¬ 
dale terrier owned by a member. Each win will 
score the number of points at which the show 
is rated and medal will become the property of 
competitor scoring the greatest number of points 
with the same dog during the year 1913. 
George Gould recently shipped a team of his 
shooting dogs to England for this fall’s shoot¬ 
ing. They will be obliged to comply with the 
ninety day quarantine law, which is the cause 
of their early shipment. The team comprises 
four retrievers, including the noted Furlough 
Bruce, a trio of pointers and two English setters 
brought up from Furlough Lodge, North Caro¬ 
lina. 
Vix Blarney, an Irish setter bitch, owned 
by E. M. Burrowes, was adjudged the champion 
of the show, held by the recently organized 
Tioga Kennel Club in Philadelphia. 
The American Kennel Club’s new rule re¬ 
garding points in the Middle West, now is in 
effect. The revised ratings hold good for the 
territory between the westerly boundaries of 
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico 
and the easterly lines of Louisiana, Arkansas, 
Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. Dog shows in 
that district will be rated as follows: Five 
hundred dogs or more, five points; 400 dogs, 
four points; 300 dogs, three points; 200 dogs, 
two points, and less than 200, one point. 
THE COCKER SPANIEL. 
Continued from page 689. 
■‘As soon as the dog found me at his side, 
he barked, and giving a spring down, dashed at 
the tiger. What happened for some moments I 
really cannot say. The same surprise and danger 
which suddenly affected me banished at once 
that presence of mind which many boast to pos¬ 
sess on all emergencies. I frankly confess that 
my senses were clouded and that the tiger might 
have devoured me without me knowing a word 
of the matter. However, as soon as my fright 
had subsided I began, like a person waking from 
a dream, to look about, and saw the tiger can¬ 
tering away at about 150 yards distance with his 
tail erect, and followed by Paris, who kept bark-
