Dogs and All about Them

It
appears
like
descending
from
the
sublime
to
the
ridiculous
to
mention
the
Greyhound
as
a
show
dog,
after
the
many
brilliant
performances
that
have
been
recorded
of
him
in
the
leash,
but
there
are
many
dogs
elegant
in
outline
with
fine
muscular
development
that
are
to
be
seen
in
the
judging
ring.
Mr.
George
Raper's
Roasting
Hot
is
one
of
the
most
prominent
winners
of
the
day;
he
is
a
fawn
and
white,
as
handsome
as
a
peacock
and,
moreover,
is
a
good
dog
in
the
field.
On
one
occasion
after
competing
successfully
at
the
Kennel
Club
Show
at
the
Crystal
Palace,
he
was
taken
to
a
coursing
meeting
where
he
won
the
stake
in
which
he
was
entered.
A
brace
of
very
beautiful
bitches
are
Mr.
F.
Eyer's
Dorset
Girl
and
Miss
W.
Easton's
Okeford
Queen.
Although,
as
a
rule,
the
most
consistent
winners
in
the
leash
have
not
been
noted
for
their
good
looks,
there
have
been
exceptions
in
which
the
opposite
has
been
the
case.
Fullerton
was
a
good-looking
dog,
if
not
quite
up
to
the
form
required
in
the
show
ring.
Mr.
Harding
Cox
has
had
several
specimens
that
could
run
well
and
win
prizes
as
show
dogs,
and
the
same
may
be
said
of
Miss
Maud
May's
fine
kennel
of
Greyhounds
in
the
North
of
England.
In
the
South
of
England
Mrs.
A.
Dewe
keeps
a
number
of
longtails
that
when
not
winning
prizes
at
the
Crystal
Palace
and
elsewhere
are
running
at
Plumpton
and
other
meetings
in
Sussex.
