Dogs and All about Them

During
the
last
few
years
Mr.
R.
de
Courcy
Peele's
kennel
has
easily
held
the
pride
of
place
in
this
variety.
Most
readers
are
no
doubt
familiar
with
the
many
beautiful
Cockers
which
have
appeared
in
the
show
ring
and
carried
off
so
many
prizes
under
the
distinguishing
affix
Bowdler.
His
kennel
was
built
up
on
a
Braeside
foundation,
and
has
contained
at
one
time
or
other
such
flyers
as
Ben
Bowdler,
Bob
Bowdler,
Rufus
Bowdler,
Dixon
Bowdler,
Eva
Bowdler,
Mary
Bowdler,
Blue-coat
Bowdler,
Susan
Bowdler,
and
others,
and
Ben
and
Bob
have
also
been,
as
sires,
responsible
for
the
success
of
a
good
many
dogs
hailing
from
other
kennels.
He
has
also
been
fairly
successful
with
blacks,
which,
however,
have
usually
been
purchased
and
not
bred
by
him,
the
two
best
being
Master
Reuben,
bred
by
Miss
Joan
Godfrey,
and
Jetsam
Bowdler,
a
bitch
who
has
distinguished
herself
both
in
the
ring
and
in
the
field.
Coloured
Cockers
are
certainly
"booming"
just
now,
and
as
a
consequence
the
blacks,
who
are
equally
worthy
of
support,
are
being
rather
neglected.
Certainly
it
is
the
case
that
whereas
one
sees
at
most
shows
big
classes
of
the
former
filled
with
a
good
level
lot
with
hardly
a
bad
specimen
amongst
them,
the
classes
devoted
to
the
latter,
besides
not
being
so
well
filled,
are
much
more
uneven,
and
always
contain
a
large
proportion
of
weeds
and
toys.
A
few
years
ago
the
black
classes
were
immeasurably
superior
to
the
coloured,
and
it
is
to
be
hoped
that
in
the
near
future
they
will
regain
at
least
a
position
of
equality
with
them.
