Dogs and All about Them

Sir
Paynton
Pigott's
kennel
of
the
breed
assumed
quite
large
proportions,
and
was
most
successful,
several
times
winning
all
the
prizes
offered
in
the
variety
at
different
shows.
He
may
well
be
called
the
Father
of
the
breed
in
England,
for
when
he
gave
up
exhibiting,
a
great
deal
of
his
best
blood
got
into
the
kennels
of
Mr.
H.
J.
Ludlow,
who,
as
everyone
knows,
has
done
such
a
tremendous
amount
of
good
in
popularising
the
breed
and
has
also
himself
produced
such
a
galaxy
of
specimens
of
the
very
best
class.
Mr.
Ludlow's
first
terrier
was
a
bitch
called
Splinter
II.
The
name
of
Kildee
is,
in
the
breed,
almost
world-famous,
and
it
is
interesting
to
note
that
in
every
line
does
he
go
back
to
the
said
Splinter
II.
Rambler--called
by
the
great
authorities
the
first
pillar
of
the
stud
book--was
a
son
of
a
dog
called
Bon-Accord,
and
it
is
to
this
latter
dog
and
Roger
Rough,
and
also
the
aforesaid
Tartan
and
Splinter
II.
that
nearly
all
of
the
best
present-day
pedigrees
go
back.
This
being
so,
it
is
unnecessary
to
give
many
more
names
of
dogs
who
have
in
their
generations
of
some
years
back
assisted
in
bringing
the
breed
to
its
present
state
of
perfection.
An
exception,
however,
must
be
made
in
the
case
of
two
sons
of
Rambler,
by
name
Dundee
and
Alister,
names
very
familiar
in
the
Scottish
Terrier
pedigrees
of
the
present
day.
Alister
especially
was
quite
an
extraordinary
stud
dog.
His
progeny
were
legion,
and
some
very
good
terriers
of
to-day
own
him
as
progenitor
in
nearly
every
line.
The
best
descendants
of
Alister
were
Kildee,
Tiree,
Whinstone,
Prince
Alexander,
and
Heather
Prince.
He
was
apparently
too
much
inbred
to,
and
though
he
produced
or
was
responsible
for
several
beautiful
terriers,
it
is
much
to
be
doubted
whether
in
a
breed
which
is
suffering
from
the
ill-effects
of
too
much
inbreeding,
he
was
not
one
of
the
greatest
sinners.
