Dogs and All about Them

At
the
time
of
the
formation
of
the
Southern
club
the
state
of
the
Airedale
was
critical;
possessed
of
perhaps
unequalled
natural
advantages,
lovely
dog
as
he
is,
he
had
not
made
that
progress
that
he
should
have
done.
He
had
not
been
boomed
in
any
way,
and
had
been
crawling
when
he
should
have
galloped.
From
the
moment
the
new
club
was
formed,
however,
the
Airedale
had
a
new
lease
of
life.
Mr.
Holland
Buckley
and
other
keen
enthusiasts
seem
to
have
recognised
to
a
nicety
exactly
what
was
required
to
give
a
necessary
fillip
to
the
breed;
they
appear
also
to
have
founded
their
club
at
the
right
moment,
and
to
have
offered
such
an
attractive
bill
of
fare,
that
not
only
did
everyone
in
the
south
who
had
anything
to
do
with
Airedales
join
at
once,
but
very
shortly
a
host
of
new
fanciers
was
enrolled,
and
crowds
of
people
began
to
take
the
breed
up
who
had
had
nothing
to
do
with
it,
or,
indeed,
any
other
sort
of
dog
previously.
Some
few
years
after
the
foundation
of
this
club,
a
junior
branch
of
it
was
started,
and
this,
ably
looked
after
by
Mr.
R.
Lauder
McLaren,
is
almost
as
big
a
success
in
its
way
as
is
the
parent
institution.
Other
clubs
have
been
started
in
the
north
and
elsewhere,
and
altogether
the
Airedale
is
very
well
catered
for
in
this
respect,
and,
if
things
go
on
as
they
are
now
going,
is
bound
to
prosper
and
become
even
more
extensively
owned
than
he
is
at
present.
To
Mr.
Holland
Buckley,
Mr.
G.
H.
Elder,
Mr.
Royston
Mills,
and
Mr.
Marshall
Lee,
the
Airedale
of
the
present
day
owes
much.
