Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton

Later
on,
at
a
dog
show
at
Cremorne
held
in
1863,
two
St.
Bernards
were
exhibited,
each
of
whom
rejoiced
in
the
name
of
Monk,
and
were,
respectively,
the
property
of
the
Rev.
A.
N.
Bate
and
Mr.
W.
H.
Stone.
These
dogs
were
exhibited
without
pedigrees,
but
were
said
to
have
been
bred
at
the
Hospice
of
St.
Bernard.
Three
years
later,
at
the
National
Show
at
Birmingham,
a
separate
class
was
provided
for
the
saintly
breed,
and
Mr.
Cumming
Macdona
was
first
and
second
with
Tell
and
Bernard.
This
led
to
an
immediate
popularity
of
the
St.
Bernard.
But
Tell
was
the
hero
of
the
shows
at
which
he
appeared,
and
his
owner
was
recognised
as
being
the
introducer
into
this
country
of
the
magnificent
variety
of
the
canine
race
that
now
holds
such
a
prominent
position
as
a
show
dog.
