Dogs and All about Them

The
Clydesdale
Terrier
is
rare,
at
any
rate
as
regards
the
show
bench;
there
are
never
more
than
two
or
three
at
most
exhibited
south
of
the
Tweed,
even
when
classes
are
provided
at
the
big
shows
and
championships
offered,
thus
indicating
that
the
breed
is
not
a
popular
one;
and
amongst
those
kennels
who
do
show
there
exists
at
the
present
time
but
one
dog
who
can
lay
claim
to
the
title
of
champion;
this
unique
specimen
is
the
property
of
Sir
Claud
Alexander,
Bart.,
of
Ballochmyle,
and
is
known
under
the
name
of
Wee
Wattie.
There
are
of
course
several
fanciers
in
Scotland,
among
whom
may
be
mentioned
Mr.
G.
Shaw,
of
Glasgow,
who
is
the
owner
of
several
fine
examples
of
the
breed,
including
beautiful
San
Toy
and
the
equally
beautiful
Mozart.
As
with
the
Skye
Terrier,
it
seems
a
matter
of
difficulty
to
produce
a
perfect
Clydesdale,
and
until
the
breed
is
taken
up
with
more
energy
it
is
improbable
that
first
class
dogs
will
make
an
appearance
in
the
show
ring.
A
perfect
Clydesdale
should
figure
as
one
of
the
most
elegant
of
the
terrier
breed;
his
lovely
silken
coat,
the
golden
brown
hue
of
his
face
fringe,
paws
and
legs,
his
well
pricked
and
feathery
ear,
and
his
generally
smart
appearance
should
combine
to
form
a
picture
exciting
general
admiration.
