Dogs and All about Them

Lancashire
and
Yorkshire
have
always
been
noted
for
good
Bull-terriers,
and
the
best
of
the
breed
have
usually
been
produced
in
the
neighbourhoods
of
Leeds,
Bradford,
Manchester,
Bolton,
and
Liverpool,
while
Birmingham
also
shared
in
the
reputation.
At
one
time
Londoners
gave
careful
attention
to
the
breed,
stimulated
thereto
by
the
encouragement
of
Mr.
Shirley
and
the
success
of
Alfred
George.
Of
recent
years
the
Bull-terrier
has
not
been
a
great
favourite,
and
it
has
sadly
deteriorated
in
type;
but
there
are
signs
that
the
variety
is
again
coming
into
repute,
and
within
the
past
two
years
many
admirable
specimens--as
nearly
perfect,
perhaps,
as
many
that
won
honour
in
former
generations--have
been
brought
into
prominence.
Among
dogs,
for
example,
there
are
Mr.
E.
T.
Pimm's
Sweet
Lavender,
Dr.
M.
Amsler's
MacGregor,
Mr.
Chris
Houlker's
His
Highness,
and
Mr.
J.
Haynes'
Bloomsbury
Young
King.
Among
bitches
there
are
Mrs.
Kipping's
Delphinium
Wild
and
Desdemona,
Mr.
Hornby's
Lady
Sweetheart,
Mr.
W.
Mayor's
Mill
Girl,
Mr.
T.
Gannaway's
Charlwood
Belle,
Dr.
J.
W.
Low's
Bess
of
Hardwicke,
and
Mrs.
E.
G.
Money's
Eastbourne
Tarqueenia.
While
these
and
such
as
these
beautiful
and
typical
terriers
are
being
bred
and
exhibited
there
is
no
cause
to
fear
a
further
decline
in
popularity
for
a
variety
so
eminently
engaging.
