Dogs and All about Them

In
1892
a
great
impetus
was
given
to
the
breed
by
Mrs.
Hughes,
whose
kennels
at
Wolverley
were
of
overwhelmingly
good
quality.
Mrs.
Hughes
was
quickly
followed
by
such
ardent
and
successful
fanciers
as
Sir
Claud
and
Lady
Alexander,
of
Ballochmyle,
Mrs.
Freeman,
Miss
Bowyer
Smyth,
and
Miss
McCheane.
Lately
other
prominent
exhibitors
have
forced
their
way
into
the
front
rank,
among
whom
may
be
mentioned
the
Countess
of
Aberdeen,
Mrs.
Hugh
Ripley,
Mrs.
Wilmer,
Miss
Whishaw,
and
Mrs.
Sandwith.
Mrs.
Hughes'
Wolverley
Duchess
and
Wolverley
Jock
were
excellent
types
of
what
a
prick-eared
Skye
should
be.
Excellent,
too,
were
Mrs.
Freeman's
Alister,
and
Sir
Claud
Alexander's
Young
Rosebery,
Olden
Times,
Abbess,
and
Wee
Mac
of
Adel,
Mrs.
Wilmer's
Jean,
and
Mr.
Millar's
Prince
Donard.
But
the
superlative
Skye
of
the
period,
and
probably
the
best
ever
bred,
is
Wolverley
Chummie,
the
winner
of
thirty
championships
which
are
but
the
public
acknowledgment
of
his
perfections.
He
is
the
property
of
Miss
McCheane,
who
is
also
the
owner
of
an
almost
equally
good
specimen
of
the
other
sex
in
Fairfield
Diamond.
Among
the
drop-eared
Skyes
of
present
celebrity
may
be
mentioned
Mrs.
Hugh
Ripley's
Perfection,
Miss
Whishaw's
Piper
Grey,
and
Lady
Aberdeen's
Cromar
Kelpie.
There
are
two
clubs
in
England
and
one
in
Scotland
instituted
to
protect
the
interests
of
this
breed,
namely,
the
Skye
Terrier
Club
of
England,
the
Skye
and
Clydesdale
Club,
and
the
Skye
Terrier
Club
of
Scotland.
The
Scottish
Club's
description
is
as
follows:--
