PRESTON, Mimi, March Mr.. William
Loettier's kennels OF Dachshi n ie German
Badger hounds) is an establishment which is
known all over the United States by all lovers
OF the sporting dog. The buildings and yards
In which the animals are kept are very prac-
ucally arranged warm and kept scrupu ously
clean. The Dachshund is the national dog of
the German sportsman. an animal OF extreme
length, low built, short, crooked forelegs,
long head. with long ears, of strongest mus
calar frame and great courage. His height

length varies from SO TO 43 inches. weight 20
10 25 pounds. These dogs are mostly used 10
drive foxes and badgers out OF their homes
and are also x o for hunting rabbits.
raccoons and squirrels. To one who has
neveR had the pleasure seeing such
dogs, they are strange sight. Mr.. LoeffieI,
first showed your correspondent his great
stud dog. Wsldmann I, the winner of the first
and special prize AT Chicago i'm 1885, and also
the first and special prize ut Milwaukee this
year. He Is considered by good judges and
good authorities as the best living specimen
in America, and we can only say. he is u great
dog-a perfect beauty In every respect.
Gretchen is another famous dog. She has
won the first prizes at Cleveland in lSS2. at
Chicago in 1883 and again at Chicago in 1885,
and she is the mother of great many noted
prize winners. Both Waldmann and Gretchen
were bred by Mr.. Loefiier. Next
are Lux !, Thekla and Thusnelda,
three black and tans, imported this summer
by Mr.. Loefller from the kennels of Prince
Albert Johns. Braunfels, Germany. Never
before have we seen such animals, and they
will undoubtedly get their names up among
the best when put on the bench. HcrZog,
Olga and Leonora are three puppies of extra
tine quality, and. as Mr.. Loefller said. the Lest
lot of Dung stock he had, and were reserved
by HIM as y surprise TO the New Workers at
their next show. Babette and Jose. 10th
chestnut and tans. are splendid representa-
tives Of that breed Congo is a rel bitch,
with a fine litter OF puppies, by Waldmann /,
black and tan bitch from the kennels of the
Duke of Coburg, with FIVE of her
offspring, most beautiful litter
and are as lively and playful as squirrels.
The rest of the dogs are too numer-
Gus to mention. Mr.. Loeffer started
his kennels in 1879 aud is to-day one of the
most prominent OF American breeders. His
success al bench shows is simply unparalleled.
Twenty-six first premiums were awarded 10
his stock. On being asked how il was posi-
bic TO dispose of so many puppies as he could
breed, Mr.. Loeifler said. none of the old
dogs you have seen are for sale at any price,
and the two filters you saw were ordered
long before they were born. and l now have
over twenty orders for puppies which ! can
not fill before spring. Real good stock is at
once appreciated when put on the bench
show. and as my animals were never beaten
so TAR and draw the greatest attention when
exhibited, have no trouble whatever to sell
what produce. j have sold puppies in al
most every state in the Union. NJ b nst GUS
toners are wealthy people residing in the
New England states and in the extreme
South.
