spaniels and toy Pomeranians. Dogs don't
sell by weight, though the daschunds are
said to sell by the yard with the tail meas
ured in. But the disparity Of size and value
is well illustrated in the Danes and Jap
span1els. For instance. Mr.. Senn's little
Chesia. mite of a Japanese spaniel, Is
not for sale. but If she were sold, $1,000 or
81, 500 would not be q remarkable price for
her. She is about the size to sleep COM
fortably in ordinary collar box. and as
lively as cricket. She would only make
small mouthful for Mr.. Guggenheim's
Hector of Athelstane, one of the biggest
Danes In the show While Hector is not
for sale either, you could get Dane about
as big as he for $3.50. The difference is
that the tiny toy dogs are bought and
owned by theatrical and society people. to
whom money Is a comparatively small OBJ
Ject while the Danes, aside from being
handsome and impressive, are useful, and
the people among whom they circulate will
look longer at the same amount of money
than the people who simply want a pet for
curiosity. The chances are that you could
pick UP lot of very good little spaniels in
Japan for So apiece. But they are delicate,
and lot of them die when you try to
import them. and there are comparatively
few Of them in this country.
