Dogs and All about Them

In
1900
Mr.
Crisp
bred
Kilcullen
from
O'Leary,
this
dog
winning
the
championship
at
the
Kennel
Club
Show
at
the
Crystal
Palace
in
1902
under
Captain
Graham.
This
was
the
year
the
Irish
Wolfhound
Club
presented
the
hound
Rajah
of
Kidnal
as
a
regimental
pet
to
the
newly
formed
Irish
Guards.
Rajah
of
Kidnal,
who
was
bred
and
exhibited
by
Mrs.
A.
Gerard,
of
Malpas,
was
the
selection
of
Captain
Graham
and
two
other
judges.
This
dog,
which
has
been
renamed
Brian
Boru,
is
still
hearty
and
well,
and
was
at
his
post
on
St.
Patrick's
Day,
1909,
when
the
shamrock
that
had
been
sent
by
Her
Majesty
Queen
Alexandra
was
handed
to
the
men.
Mrs.
Gerard
owned
one
of
the
largest
kennels
of
Irish
Wolfhounds
in
England,
and
amongst
her
many
good
dogs
and
bitches
was
Cheevra,
who
was
a
wonderful
brood
bitch,
and
included
amongst
her
stock
were
several
that
worked
their
way
up
to
championship
honours;
she
was
the
dam
of
Rajah
of
Kidnal.
Besides
Ballyhooley,
Mr.
W.
Williams
owned
a
good
dog
in
Finn
by
Brian
II.
Finn
produced
Miss
Packe's
Wickham
Lavengro,
a
black
and
tan
dog
that
has
won
several
prizes.
Some
judges
are
opposed
to
giving
prizes
to
Irish
Wolfhounds
of
this
colour,
but
Captain
Graham
did
not
object
to
it.
Finn
was
a
very
heavy
dog,
and
weighed
148
lbs.
A
hound
that
has
been
of
great
benefit
to
the
breed
in
Ireland
is
Ch.
Marquis
of
Donegal,
the
property
of
Mr.
Martin.
