dogs nose may seem trife, but
to the breeder of dogs it may be a
matter of extreme moment. A Berlin
woman has recently found it So At
woman's kennel show, held not
long since, the Judge of Italian grey
hounds held that the nose of this
breed of dog should be black This
particular exhibitor, the owner of sew
eral entries in the various Italian
greyhound classes, being dissatisfied
with the Judging, appealed to a we'll
known breeder. He gave it as his
opinion that it is permissible for the
color of the nose to follow the color
of the coat, and that it need not al
ways be black This statement gave
great satisfaction to the exhibitor and
high dudgeon to the dog show com
nittee, which waxcd wroth at what
