BRITISH JUDGE MISQUOTED ?
Ilonlit Seem to Klt Aboal Hot
land lluckle' Opinion.
The Fngllsh and local kennel papers
have been giving considerable space to
a statement credited to the Kngllsh
Judge Holland lluckley. who came over
to Judgo a number of breeds at tho
Mlncola show, that there was no ex
hibit at Mlneola upart from tho stock
recently Imported from ICnglnnd that
would oven stand an outnlde chance at
any of the English shows.
This statement does not correspond
with the one made by Mr. Huckley on
the train coming from Mlneola when he
stated to a number of fanciers that th
entry of American bred Airedale terrier
was a revelation to him and that many
of tho homehreds which ho saw on that
day would give a good account of them
fClves at any Bngllsh show. He further
stated that the American bred Scottish
terrier Walcocott Matster Wullle wai
one of the best specimen that It ever
had been his privilege to see nnd that
he tilt not know of a specimen In Kng
l.ind that could beat Mr. Liloyd'H Ameri

WYCOLLAR BOY WINS
MANY BRITISH PRIZES
Son of lieorge Quintanl's Dog
Is Making Groat "Record
nt English Shows.
A young wire haired fox terrier which
has made a great record In England Is
Wycollar Itoy, a year old son of Georgo
Qulntnrd's famous Champion Wire Hoy
of Paignton. Wycollar Hoy recently at
tained his championship title In Kngland,
defeating many of the best dogs In the
country. Our l)og has the following to
say of this remarkable youngster:
"The very important prises won by
Wycollnr Hoy surely constitute a record
not only for this breed, but it Is very
doubtful If this record has been equalled
by any dog or bitch of this age. Making
his first appearance at tho Wire Fox I
Terrier Associations show at Sheffield,
he headed every dog class, winning ten
firsts, the kennel club's challenge, certifi
cate and thirty-eight special prizes. In
cluding tho association's challenge plate
for the best terrier In the show.
"At the recent National Terrier Club
show nt Nottingham, besides his class
wins nnd the challenso certificate, he
was awarded tho Bennett Edwards
twenty guinea challenge bowl for the
best terrier of any breed bred by the ex
hibitor nnd also the open special for the
best terrier In the show a unique ex
perience for such a youngster,
"As his pedigree shows, breeding again
tells. His owner, who has now been
breeding wlro fox terriers for over
twenty years, hns always held that the
surest way to success Is to breed from
the best and although many good ter
riers havo been produced from this
kennel Mr. Turner has rarely exhibited
as tho high standard that he alms at has
until the appearance of this champion,
not been obtained. His ambition to
breed a champion has at last been ful
filled so that It Is not at all surprising
that the many tempting offers he has re.
vcelved from would be purchasers, both
nere and In America have been refused
as Mr. Turner knows the pleasure and
value of possessing a champion terrier,
having at one time or another owned a
number of goed wires, Including Marquis
of Onywood, brother to Champion South
boro Salcx, which sired Champion Mem
bers Sportsman, which in turn got the
little dog Chnmplon Surblton Scorchor."
Mm. Henry Hill I n ftrotland,
"Notwithstanding tho war, tourists
from the United States are arriving on
their annual pilgrimage In search of
stock to strengthen their kennels," says
a recent Issue of Our Voiis. "Among the
first of the American visitors to arrive
I Mrs. Henry Hill, who has arrived In
Scotland from Now York. This lady,
who Is a native of Yorkshire, owns a very
extensive kennel of Peklngeso nnd Pom
ernnlans In the land of the Stnrs and
Stripes, and Is searching through the
chief kennels of toys In Kngland nnd
Scotland, nnd it Is her Intention to take
back as strong and extensive a team as
dollars can command, She hns com
menced by securing from Air. iMcNnbb of
Dundee tho classy black Pom Norman
Hunty. This Pom has done a lot of
winning and ought to do well when he
arrives In America. Mrs. Hill Intends to
return to New York In time to mako
things hum at the fa,tl and winter shows."
Myraeuae Prlae Money Inrrraard,
The New York State Fair Dog Show
has Increased the prize money In all the
classes and the Onondaga Kennel Club
Is offering n full Hat of specials In order
to make this year's fixture a banner one
In the history of the association. The
commission has spared no expense In
order to get entries from the lending

MEXICO'S MONGRELS
DO AS THEY PLEASE
itaiiiblt! Around in Large Packs
anil Xo One. Seems to
Own Them.
It seems strange that In the republic
Just to the south the I'nlted States
ther- are practically no dogs of quality.
The natives are fond of dogs, but they
arc poor and their dogs are all of them
of the mongrel variety. Tho wealthier
clnsi.es take no Intercxt In dogs and
the well bred dogs of the Mexican can
be counted on the fingers, A few Hng
llshmen nnd fewer Americans scattered
throughout the republic have gcod dogs,
but these are met with so rarely that
they might well be said not to exist. A
few women havo made a fancy of t he
national breed, the tiny Chihuahua, but
those who really try to breed these doss
are few nnd far between. ,
Of Just dug, howovvr, there Is no end,
The streets of the cities, as seems the
style In all tropical countries, swarm
with hordes of nondescript mongrels,
and the mining camps and small villages
are as bad If not wore. liven In the
rural parts every plantation Is the head
quarters. It cannot be called the home,
of a large and flourishing pack of seml
wlld, half starved thieves In canine
form. Tho dogs ore owned by no one
nnd never tecelve any favors from hu
inarw, so they are forced to shift for
themselves, ami the way they manage to
fke out an existence is marvellous.
Partly by hunting, partly by stealing,
they are able to keep the spark of life In
their gaunt bodies.
Some Interesting information of th?
dogs of Mexico was given by an Amerl
oan who lately returned from the coun
try, where ho had been employed upon
a plantation. Ho said that when ho first
went to this plantation there wero but
half a doien dogs, the leader being n
big yellow mongrel of tho bull terrier
type. In the two years that ho was
there tho pack multiplied tin It num
bered nearly a hundred, thl In spit of
tho fact that litter after litter of pup
pies were drowned. The dogs varied In
size from that of a big jiolntor down to
a llttlo ten pounder and of color and
shapes there was Inllnlto variety.
These dogs were cenerallv naelflc. hot
when they tool; the notion In their
neaus they could bn most ugly and
more than onco It was necessary to res
cue sumo peon or visitor who had In
curred the wrath of the dogs. If some,
stranger approached In a way thnt the
ilog.-J did not npprovo of tin would al
most Immediately bn surrounded by n
circle of some llfty odd dogs, all Jump
ing ami snarling. It was a common
sight to sco Mimo Mexican standing In
the centre of tho circle yelling for dear
life nnd using hands, feet ami blanket
to stave off their rushes. As a rule
the dogs would not bite, but the cluiiiccs
of their becoming mad and using their
teeth In deail earnest was Ju-t enough
to take the edgu of enjoyment off the
sport for the besieged one.
At many of tho plantations, however,
the dogs am really vicious und It Is
as much as a man's life la worth
to fall In with them when on foot and
unarmed. It Is a strange fact but
nevertheless truo that no matter how
wild or vicious they nro tliey will never
attack a mounted man. This Is prolt
ably nccounted for by the fact that the
horses or mules as the caso may bo
do not wnste any love over tho dogs
and ninny a well directed kick has
taught thnt discretion Is the better part
of valor.
Jniiie Mortimer II run In Health.
It Is a pleasitro to nil followers of
dog shows to know tliat James Morti
mer of Hempstead, Long Island, who Is
known from const to coast among dog
owners, Is fast regaining good health.
At Mlneola's show In June, Mr. Morti
mer looked ns though he wore a sick
man, although ho stuck to his work
an superintendent throughout the two
days, and a fow weeks later fulfilled
his engagement as all around Judge at
Wbllo Plains. Slnco then he has taken
a complete rest and now looks his old
self again.

has grown steadily In popularity and It
Is thought that this year the canine
event will lie a greater reunion than
ever. The leading kennel clubs and In
dividual dog fanciers In tho country have
given freely In tho way of cups and
special prizes. The prize list caters for
nil the larger ,nnd more useful breeds,
from KuBslan wolflwunds down to the
smallest of the toy varieties, George
Foley ot Lansdown. P., will superin
tend. ,
Its Shape Is Determining Fac
tor in Considering: I)oj?s
Worth in Ring.
JUDGE LOOKS AT IT FIRST
The head of the collie has nlways
been, and Justly so, the lending and
most Important feature In that dog. A
perfect head Is a beautiful thing to con
template, and the creation of a perfect
structure of the skull Is one of the most
difficult problems that the collie breed
ers havo to solve. Some critics will
argue that the modern show collie Is
deficient In brain room, but this does
not seem to be borne out by facts.
The head should be finely chiselled,
free from any lumps nnywhere, little
stop and that llttlo nicely graduated
from Just before the eyes to the fore
head nnd perfectly flat between tho eyes,
which must not be too far apart. The
whole skull should tnper from tho muz
zle to the top of the head and be free
from any cheeklness. The nose must be
black In all varieties of the collie. Tho
perfect head must not be too broad be
tween the ears, only moderately wide,
with no Indentation, almost flat, with
Just n traco of arching In the front.
The muzzto must be of consistent
strength, not running too fine, or the
dog gets a pinched and snlpy expres
sion. Tho Jaws should meet clear and sound,
the top teeth Just overlapping tho under.
The pig Jawed collie Is an abomination
nnd should be disqualified wherever
shown. Hxresslvo length of hend Is
easily obtained If pig Jaws are permis
sible. The upper Jaw of a dog Is more
plastic than the under; for example,
look at pugs, bulldogs nnd other kindred
breeds, where shortness of the face Is
an attraction. Theso have been worked
on by selection until the upper Jaw Is
out of nil harmony with tho under Jaw,
and tho tongues nre too long for the
mouth. So It Is with the collie. If
pig Jaws nro not kept down there will
be dogs with abnormal length of head,
U'hlr-ll urn roiltu llwlp.u f.ie llin t,rnctlnt
work of the sheepdog. This should be I
borne In mind, as tho utility of any I
I.m.a.1 r.f .1.1 .... I... ..nAHl.1 1 i
....... ji uop,.-. ruuuiu nwi uk n.n I mi ru
for fashion or fancy. The lips of the
collie should bo clean and close fitting,
for nothing so spoils the appearance
of n collie as large flabby Hps hanging
or protruding from the back or sides
of the mouth. The teeth should be white
and perfect In their setting. Some show
collies are far from perfect In the color
of their teeth ; poKslbly the forcing with
condiments nnd physics Is ret-ponslble
for this. The less artificial stimulating
a dog gets the better. He may mature
early, but It Is much better to miss the
wins In the puppy clnsses than to make
an old dog of him Just when he ought
to be In his prime.
Probably next to the head In Impor
tance In a collie come the ears nnd their
carriage. Many otherwise perfect dogs
nre seriously marred by either bad
ears or faulty carriage. The ears
should be small and set well on the
top of the head, not too far apart and
et not too close. During a period of
rest they should be laid back In the ruff,
but when animated the dog should
carry them erect, with Uv- tips Just
drooping over and thrown slightly out
ward. They should be of a soft, silky
texture and tree from superfluous hair
on the upper parts.
. Although tho eye or expression Is
only a small part of the collie, still It Is
of tho utmost Importance, for It Is
the shape, color nnd setting of the eye
that give tho dog that keen, alert nnd
intelligent expression so much ndmlred
nnd sought for. Tlw eyes should be small
and almond shaped, and sot obliquely In
the head. A full or starlrg eyo spoils
tho expression, ns does n light eye. The
eye should be dark brown In color and
show no haw. In the Blue Merle, blue
or wall eyes are the correct thing and
add considerably to the appcaranco of
this pretty variety.
Tho coat of the dog consists of n top
coat of hair nnd an under coat of soft
furry wool, which should be so dore
as to almost hide- tho skin, Thus a full
coated dog could stand continuous rain
without getting the skin wet. The coat
should be most abundant on tho frill,
neck, mano nnd capo, with long feath
ering on the chct and hind legs above
tho hocks. Tho feathering on the fore
legs should not be so long, yet must be
fairly so, Tho main trouble In coats Is
wnvlness, nnd this can be altered by
frequent brushing nnd comling. A col
lie should be brushed dnlly and tho
fmthcririi; and frill combed out with
an open comb.
Many Judges In passlnc on a collie
look only to head, ears and coat, but
the good practical Judge always -will
be most careful to look at tho legs and
feet, as It Is essential that tho dog must
be sound, ns It Is In any variety of dog.
If a dog Is a cripple, cow hockd and
a bid mover he should be pnmllzed
heavily. In a colllo the forelegs should
bo straight and not too wide npart and
set Hat on the shoulder luid must not
show the elbow and shoulder turrnl
outward, They must bo muscular, with
a fair proportion of bone, without bolng
clumsy. The feet should bo oval nnd cat
like, tho toes arched nnd close together,
r.ot spread out but padded, and hard
underneath.
The hind legs nlso piny an Important
part In the uctlon of tho ilog, The
stllles should be well bent, thu thighs
muscular, the hocks must not bo set
too high up tho leg, but low down and
full ot strength and propelling power.
Tho hind feet to bo absolutely correct
should bo slightly longer and Hatter
than tho front ones. A serious and
common fault is cow hocks. No dog
with this fault can be a graceful nnd
freo mover.
It Is extremely dltllcult to dellne In
words tho general outline and symmetry
of a collie, but this may bo summed up
In ono word, type, ns n well balanced
colllo hliouUl be typical all over, lie
should show speed, activity nnd high
Intelligence, nnd be freo from cloddl
ness. Tho tall should bo covered pro
fusely with hair and hajig with n
graceful curve at the end, which helps
to complete the line of beauty spoken
of previously. Tho tall should hang
qulto straight nnd not be twisted or
screwed In any way. Tlio body must
bo of u fair length In tho couplings,
with ribs well sprung, Tho frame should
have the appearance of being well knit
together, compact nml yet not heavv
The color of a collie can bo said to
be Immaterial, and a good colllo, like
a good horse, cannot bo u bad color.
Whllo this Is correct In n sense, still
no ono can deny that a smokyblack or
a dull sable suffers tn compnrlson with
a perfectly colored dog, with full white
markings ; so although good color nnd
markings nro not absolutely essential,
still they are generally admitted to be
most attractive, and add much to the
dog's general appearance.
Collies should not ho of excessive
size and weight. A dog ts considered
large enough If he stands anything over
24 Inches nt the shoulder and weighs
In good condition fir. pounds,
A bitch should stand 22 Inches and
weigh from 40 to CO pounds, yet weight
nlways must be to a certain extent
deceptive, as a small dog may be so
heavy with fat as to be altogether unfit
for poOTf pi jrerkj
