Give Good Decisions
BY JOHN BRADSHAW,

Bench show Judge and Kennel Expert
The recent Santa Rosa show was
well patronized by San Francisco
fancfers. In fact, nearly all the win
ners belong here. A. j. Molera headed
the list with IA entries. He entered
Afredale terriers, English bull
dogs, / French bulldog, forterriers,
and dachshunds. Molera's entries
carried Off about Is first prizes, In
Guiding special prizes for best dog of
Its breed, and mostly with dogs of his
own breeding, which makes the wins
much sweeter. Mrs E. r. Brown,
Mayor Rolph and Dr. Herbert Rodley
were the other exhibitors with large
entry, having about six each.
Mrs. Fred Fenwick won the most
coveted prize of all with her wonder

Mackwerth BERTHE, mailing Nicholas.
the Russian woifhound, second best
dog in the show.
The judging, taken as a whole. was
very satisfactory. Irving Ackerman,
the all rounder. handled his breeds in
careful manner. and his placing of
the special prizes met with the an
proval of the exhibitors and proved
that he Is very capable Judge. and
shows that experience is a great and
very necessary thing to have in the
Judging ring.
The other judges were E. o. Corri-
gan, Robert Nolan. M. d. Robson and
James Lawrence. Robert Nolan
Judged Airedale terriers and went
through his dogs thoroughly. looked
for what he wanted, and when he
found It made his award fearlessly.
Nolan made many friends and will be
asked to judge again.

ne did well. indeed. He gave the ex-
hibitors all the chance they wanted
to make the best of their dogs and
then placed them as they looked to
him, something nearly all beginners
fail to do.

ers and settlers. Everything went
well until the placing of Howdy Pap
over Champion San Francisco Major.

can not see where Pap scores over
Major in any one place. Major is a
better size. scores heavily in type,
character, eye, substance, coat. and is
better made dog right through, and
when 1t comes to quality there is no
comparison. Pap is leggy dog, long
in back, fiat sided. lacks expression
and was out of coat making his
faults more giaring.
