Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton
70
Mr.
Megson
has
owned
many
other
good
specimens
of
the
breed,
both
rough
and
smooth.
In
the
same
year
that
he
bought
Metchley
Wonder,
he
gave
P350
for
a
ten-months'
puppy,
Caractacus.
Sable
and
white
is
his
favourite
combination
of
colour,
a
fancy
which
was
shared
some
years
ago
by
the
American
buyers,
who
would
have
nothing
else.
Black,
tan,
and
white
became
more
popular
in
England,
and
while
there
is
now
a
good
market
for
these
in
the
United
States
the
sable
and
white
remains
the
favourite
of
the
American
buyers
and
breeders.
The
best
Collie
of
modern
times
was
undoubtedly
Ch.
Squire
of
Tytton,
which
went
to
America
for
P1,250.
A
golden
sable
with
quality,
nice
size,
and
profuse
coat,
he
had
an
unbeaten
record
in
this
country.
Another
of
our
best
and
most
typical
rough
Collies
was
Ch.
Wishaw
Leader.
This
beautiful
dog,
who
had
a
most
distinguished
show
career,
was
a
well-made
black,
tan,
and
white,
with
an
enormous
coat
and
beautiful
flowing
white
mane;
one
of
the
most
active
movers,
displaying
quality
all
through,
and
yet
having
plenty
of
substance.
He
had
that
desirable
distinction
of
type
which
is
so
often
lacking
in
our
long-headed
Collies.
Ormskirk
Emerald's
head
was
of
good
length
and
well
balanced,
the
skull
sufficiently
flat;
his
eye
was
almond-shaped
and
dark-brown
in
colour,
his
expression
keen
and
wise,
entirely
free
from
the
soft
look
which
we
see
on
many
of
the
faces
to-day.
Historical
examples
of
the
show
Collie
have
also
been
seen
in
Champions
Christopher,
Anfield
Model,
Sappho
of
Tytton,
Parbold
Piccolo,
and
Woodmanstern
Tartan.
