Dogs and All about Them

It
was
from
the
union
of
Buckingham,
who
was
claimed
to
be
pure
Rosehill--with
Bebb's
daughter
Peggie
that
the
great
Bachelor
resulted--a
dog
whose
name
is
to
be
found
in
almost
every
latter-day
pedigree,
though
Mr.
Campbell
Newington's
strain,
to
which
has
descended
the
historic
prefix
"Rosehill,"
contains
less
of
this
blood
than
any
other.
About
1879
Mr.
T.
Jacobs,
of
Newton
Abbot,
took
up
this
breed
with
great
success,
owning,
amongst
other
good
specimens,
Russett,
Dolly,
Brunette,
and
Bachelor
III.,
the
latter
a
dog
whose
services
at
the
stud
cannot
be
estimated
too
highly.
When
this
kennel
was
broken
up
in
1891,
the
best
of
the
Sussex
Spaniels
were
acquired
by
Mr.
Woolland,
and
from
that
date
this
gentleman's
kennel
carried
all
before
it
until
it
in
turn
was
broken
up
and
dispersed
in
1905.
So
successful
was
Mr.
Woolland
that
one
may
almost
say
that
he
beat
all
other
competitors
off
the
field,
though
one
of
them,
Mr.
Campbell
Newington,
stuck
most
gallantly
to
him
all
through.
Mr.
Campbell
Newington
has
been
breeding
Sussex
Spaniels
for
over
a
quarter
of
a
century
with
an
enthusiasm
and
tenacity
worthy
of
the
warmest
admiration,
and
his
strain
is
probably
the
purest,
and
more
full
of
the
original
blood
than
any
other.
His
kennel
has
always
maintained
a
very
high
standard
of
excellence,
and
many
famous
show
specimens
have
come
from
it,
notably
Rosehill
Ruler
II.
(a
splendid
Sussex,
scarcely
inferior
to
Bridford
Giddie),
Romulus,
Roein,
Rita,
Rush,
Rock,
Rag,
and
Ranji,
and
many
others
of
almost
equal
merit.
