Dogs and All about Them

It
has
always
been
Mr.
Tinne's
principle
to
aim
at
producing
the
best
terrier
he
could,
irrespective
of
the
fads
of
this
kennel
or
that,
and
his
judgment
has
been
amply
vindicated,
as
the
prize
lists
of
every
large
show
will
testify.
And
to-day
he
is
the
proud
possessor
of
Ch.
The
Sylph,
who
has
beaten
every
one
of
her
sex,
and
is
considered
by
many
about
the
best
Fox-terrier
ever
seen.
No
name
is
better
known
or
more
highly
respected
by
dog
owners
than
that
of
the
late
Mr.
J.
A.
Doyle,
as
a
writer,
breeder,
judge,
or
exhibitor
of
Fox-terriers.
Whilst
breeding
largely
from
his
own
stock,
he
was
ever
on
the
look-out
for
a
likely
outcross.
He
laid
great
store
on
terrier
character,
and
was
a
stickler
for
good
coats;
a
point
much
neglected
in
the
present-day
dog.
Amongst
the
smaller
kennels
is
that
of
Mr.
Reeks,
now
mostly
identified
with
Oxonian
and
that
dog's
produce,
but
he
will
always
be
remembered
as
the
breeder
of
that
beautiful
terrier,
Avon
Minstrel.
Mr.
Arnold
Gillett
has
had
a
good
share
of
fortune's
favours,
as
the
Ridgewood
dogs
testify;
whilst
the
Messrs.
Powell,
Castle,
Glynn,
Dale,
and
Crosthwaite
have
all
written
their
names
on
the
pages
of
Fox-terrier
history.
Ladies
have
ever
been
supporters
of
the
breed,
and
no
one
more
prominently
so
than
Mrs.
Bennett
Edwards,
who
through
Duke
of
Doncaster,
a
son
of
Durham,
has
founded
a
kennel
which
at
times
is
almost
invincible,
and
which
still
shelters
such
grand
terriers
as
Doncaster,
Dominie,
Dodger,
Dauphine,
and
many
others
well
known
to
fame.
Mrs.
J.
H.
Brown,
too,
as
the
owner
of
Captain
Double,
a
terrier
which
has
won,
and
deservedly,
more
prizes
than
any
Fox-terrier
now
or
in
the
past,
must
not
be
omitted.
