The San Francisco call., 1913-12-06

/ The annual show of the Ladies'
Kennel club of southern California
was the best and largest held on the
coast in years.
The judging and management could
not be improved on. yinton Breese,
the all around judge, did splendid
work He was consistent all through,
sticking to type, character and sound
ness. He took some of the old timers
off their feet with his positive man
ner, the able way he handled his
| dogs and the correctness of his
awards. Mr.. Breese made many new
friends, and, l am glad to say, no
| enemies.
Mrs. Frank M Connor is now a full
fedged superintendent, and managed
her show in up to date fashion Mrs
Connor had every detail down to a
fine point. and deserves great credit,
A five-point show is no joke. I did
not see much of the toy dog judging,
but was told by some of the exhibit
ors that the Judge, Mrs. LYDIA Patton
belmont. had given satisfaction, and
| her awards were well received.
