Dogs and All about Them

It
is
difficult
to
refer
to
particular
Irish
Terriers
of
to-day
without
making
invidious
distinctions.
There
are
so
many
excellent
examples
of
the
breed
that
a
list
even
of
those
who
have
gained
championship
honours
would
be
formidable.
But
one
would
hardly
hesitate
to
head
the
list
with
the
name
of
Paymaster,
a
dog
of
rare
and
almost
superlative
quality
and
true
Irish
Terrier
character.
Paymaster
is
the
property
of
Miss
Lilian
Paull,
of
Weston-super-Mare,
who
bred
him
from
her
beautiful
bitch
Erasmic,
from
Breda
Muddler,
the
sire
of
many
of
the
best.
Side
by
side
with
Paymaster,
Mr.
F.
Clifton's
Mile
End
Barrister
might
be
placed.
It
would
need
a
council
of
perfection,
indeed,
to
decide
which
is
the
better
dog
of
the
two.
Very
high
in
the
list,
also,
would
come
Mr.
Henry
Ridley's
Redeemer
and
Mr.
Breakell's
Killarney
Sport.
And
among
bitches
one
would
name
certainly
Mr.
Gregg's
Belfast
Erin,
Mr.
Clifton's
Charwoman,
Mr.
Everill's
Erminie,
and
Mr.
J.
S.
McComb's
Beeston
Betty.
These
are
but
half
a
dozen,
but
they
represent
the
highest
level
of
excellence
that
has
yet
been
achieved
by
scientific
breeding
in
Irish
Terrier
type.
