whose dog was the best fighter. One day there 
came to town a man with a bull terrier, a 
strong, big-boned, aggressive dog, so full of 
fight that within a short time he "cleaned up’’ 
the pick of the hounds along the river. The bull 
terrier being so good a fighter, it occurred to the 
hound owners that a cross between the hound 
and the terrier would produce a type combining 
the aquatic qualities of the otter hound, and the 
quickness and intelligence of the terrier. The 
cross worked perfectly and the “Airedale” be¬ 
came indigenous to the shores of the Aire River. 
It is safe to say that the judgment of these 
Yorkshiremen was not at fault, for there is no 
dog better able to take care of itself in a 
■“toothic” encounter, than the Airedale, while as 
a vermin hunter he is unbeatable. 
This, of course, did not give us the fine, 
straight-limbed, square-jawed, and highly intelli¬ 
gent Airedale found on the bench to-day. That 
is where the pedigree is interesting. It shows 
how they are crossed and intercrossed. For 
instance, a dog of fine bone is crossed with a 
bitch having the desired hair quality. From 
this litter generally comes one pup with the 
combined qualities sought. It doesn’t always 
follow, however, that a champion sire and dam 
will produce a litter of possible champions. 
As an example, the litter brother of Oui Oui, 
shown in accompanying pedigree, threw back 
to an almost perfect otter hound. Inbreeding 
scientifically, avoiding too much relationship re¬ 
sults in good pups, but even the most careful 
breeding will not obviate the possibility of a 
throwback to one or the other of the early stock 
from which a breed w'as developed. 
The pedigree herewith showm is an excellent 
example of family relationship. Note by the 
stars the number of times the same sire and 
dam appear. For instance, we find Champion 
Crompton Oorang as the paternal grandfather 
of Empost Princess Nell (and all the rest of 
the pups pictured here), while Crompton Oo¬ 
rang appears four generations back on Princess 
Nell’s mother’s side; in other words, Oorang 
is Nell's father's father, and Nell’s mother’s 
grandfather three times removed. 
The litter used for illustration is most un¬ 
usual. It is owned by E. M. Post, a non-pro¬ 
fessional breeder of Babvlon, Long Island, 
N. Y. 
Out of nine pups of Oui Oui by Prince of York, 
every one will be shown at the forthcoming 
Westminster Kennel Club show. Judges of Aire¬ 
dales have been unable to decide which are the 
most worthy of being benched and have persuad¬ 
ed Mr. Post to show all, including the mother. 
They will be entered under the kennel prefix 
Empost and bid fair to give a good account of 
themselves.
