Judging from the demand in this city
the s.; Bernard, unlike most breeds. is
always in fashion rs 4 pet and compan-
ion. These dogs are especially liked by
ladies, such ladies as do not fancy tie
other extreme in dogs and - fondle pugs
and spaniels. 4 St. Bernard should
measure from 2S 10 81 inches in height
at the shoulder, and weigh from 140 10
100 pounds. Fanciers reextremely par
/ ticular about the markings, and always
consider the following points: The color
should be gold, orange or tawny, though
brindic is admissible, at least on the
head; the chest, feet and more or less at
the less should be white; the face should
be blazed with white, the tail tipped with
white and the collar or shawl" white.
The white shawl and collar are priced as
resembling the vestments of the monks.
Other points are as important as color
The head must be broad, with high oc-
+ cipital bone, also long and well 'dished"
in profile at the eve This should be
grave and bcld, with the iategument
drawn away from the inner corner,
showing the red "haw." LaEe feet.
strong legs with fringe of hair, and
1 double 'dew.claws" are Indispensable. \
/ dog that weighs $50 pounds should meas
ure about twenty-five inches around the
head and forty at the chest.
A veteran dog fancier and breeder told
a reporter that he had abandoned breed
ing every kind of dog but the St. Ber-
nards. "They are the only kind that are
always in demand and always in FASH
ion, he said. II will not breed any but
the rough coats, either. Others may like
the smooth, but / DO not. don't think
their temper is so reliable.
"Delicate? Well, they want good
care, but / seldom lose pup. The
trouble is that people new them up in
city houses and deny the dogs air and
exercise, which is against their nature.
DO you know, cross between the ST.
Bernard and the Labrador dog makes a
wonderful watch dog? They combine the
good nature and intelligence Of the one
with the alertness and spirit of the other.
/ / have one OF them that caught negro
with bis hands full of game chickens in
my hen roost one night. He knocked
the man over and held him like a vice.
and if had not called stop would have
killed him. lmade the larley put the
chickens on the roost and then ! kicked

him in prison and letting his family

nards in and near New York, many OF

that IS, dogs in general; one who owes

linen Of the 81. Bernard before him, and
hc cannot help sdniring him.
The St Bernard seems conscious of MS
noble ancestry, and he bears the marks
Of his centuries Of good breeding and
gallant deeds on his face. Dignity, afEec-
tion, good nature, pride, what might be
called The possession Of good dog CON
science, are to be found in his counte-
nance. Ofcourse these may be claimed
in some degree FOR other breeds; but this
article has only TO do with the traits of
81. Bernards. Their gcnealogy dates
back to 962 A. D., when Friar Bernard
dc Mention, accompanied by his dog,
established the hospice on the Alps
which the St. Bernard dogs have since
made famous by their exploits in rescu-
ing snow bound travellers The breed
seems to be most nearly allied TO the
pure blood hound, resembling the latter
in fine sense Of smell. intelligence,
strength and judicial aspect Two vari-
cites have been evolved, the rough and
smooth coated; the former the genuine
Swiss dog and the more preferred, while
the latter is a result Of crossing with the
mastifIs or smooth coated dog at some
time.
