Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton

Mr.
Carrick,
of
Carlisle,
was
also
a
prominent
owner
years
ago,
and
showed
some
excellent
terriers,
the
best
being
Carlisle
Tack,
Trick,
and
Tyro.
The
latter
was
an
exceptionally
good
dog.
Mr.
Sam
Hill,
of
Sheffield,
had
also
a
strong
kennel,
always
well
shown
by
George
Porter,
who
is
now,
and
has
been
for
some
years,
in
America,
where
he
still
follows
his
old
love.
Mr.
Hill's
name
will
ever
be
associated
with
that
of
his
great
dog
Meersbrook
Bristles,
who
has
undoubtedly
done
the
breed
a
great
amount
of
good.
Mr.
Mayhew
is
another
old
fancier,
who
nearly
always
showed
a
good
one.
Mr.
Mayhew
has
been
in
America
now
for
many
years.
One
dog
of
his,
who
it
is
believed
became
a
champion,
viz.
Brittle,
did
at
one
time
a
big
business
at
stud,
perhaps
not
to
the
advantage
of
the
breed,
for
he
was
possessed
of
a
very
bad
fault,
in
that
he
had
what
was
called
a
topknot
ring,
a
bunch
of
soft
silky
hairs
on
his
forehead,
an
unfailing
sign
of
a
soft
coat
all
over,
and
a
thing
which
breeders
should
studiously
avoid.
This
topknot
was
at
one
time
more
prevalent
than
it
is
now.
Whether
it
is
a
coincidence
or
not
one
cannot
say,
but
it
is
a
fact
that
in
the
writer's
experience
several
terriers
possessed
of
this
fault
have
also
blue
markings,
which
again
are
almost
invariably
accompanied
by
a
soft
coat,
and
taking
these
two
peculiarities
together
it
would
seem
that
at
some
time,
years
ago,
a
cross
with
that
wonderfully
game
but
exceedingly
soft-coated
terrier,
the
Bedlington,
may
have
been
resorted
to,
though
if
so
it
would
appear
that
nowadays
any
effect
of
it
is
gradually
dying
out.
