Dogs and All about Them
·

The
Airedale
is
such
a
beautiful
specimen
of
the
canine
race,
and
is,
in
reality,
in
such
healthy
state,
that
every
one
of
his
admirers--and
they
are
legion--is
naturally
jealous
for
his
welfare,
and
is
wishful
that
all
shall
go
well
with
him.
It
is
gratifying
to
state
that
he
has
never
been
the
tool
of
faction,
though
at
one
time
he
was
doubtless
near
the
brink;
but
this
was
some
time
ago,
and
it
would
be
a
grievous
pity
if
he
ever
again
became
in
jeopardy
of
feeling
the
baneful
influence
of
any
such
curse.
There
is
one
serious
matter
in
connection
with
him,
however,
and
that
is
the
laxity
displayed
by
some
judges
of
the
breed
in
giving
prizes
to
dogs
shown
in
a
condition,
with
regard
to
their
coats,
which
ought
to
disentitle
them
to
take
a
prize
in
any
company.
Shockingly
badly-trimmed
shoulders
are
becoming
quite
a
common
thing
to
see
in
Airedales.
There
is
no
necessity
for
this
sort
of
thing;
it
is
very
foolish,
and
it
is
impossible
to
imagine
anything
more
likely
to
do
harm
to
a
breed
than
that
the
idea
should
get
abroad
that
this
is
the
general
practice
in
connection
with
it.
