of Her Own Breeding.
COMING CHAMPIONS IN LOT
Tvpe Is Remarkable for Game
ness and Is Likely to GAIN
Great Popularity in
This Country.

Love me. love my dog, is the motto
u the owner Of the Locust Lane Ken
nelg. but the stipulation should prove
opite unnecessary. for who could resist
such Sealyham terriers as Star. Betty
Bear. Bear Cat, Billtaft or Sugar rum
10 say nothing of Lily, Becky, Bunty'
Bruiser and Cricket?
Mrs. Samuel Willets has no trouble IN
finding plenty of people 10 love her dogs;
her only worry is that they will love them
600 much and insist on buying one oil
them.
The bright particular star Of the Ken
nels IS Champion Star. known in England
as Scotia Star. Star is without doubt the
finest sealyham terrier in America. and
he won his American championship with
out meeting defeat. Star Is by Cha"sVoh
Whiskey Bach and Scotia Sting lie Is
of the clean cut type that makes every
other dog look either weedy or coarse anu
he has really been used as the American
standard. star was Mrs Willets's frst
Sealvham, If one excerpts Ivy, lovaole
little matron who prefers home lie 10
the glamour of the show ring.
Mrs. Winets was so delighted with star
that she ordered three others by cable
message The dogs arrived, but the
neners went astray somehow, and for
several weeks their new owner had no
idea as TO the identity OF the animals
When the credentials finally arrived II
was learned that the trio were the
famous Bruiser his mother, Betty ana
Vixen. Bruiser was bred by Raymond
Rrvan. and he has for father the won
derful Bunty Pulls the Strings.
Originally he was just plain Bunty' put
he was so successful at his first pubic
trial at drawing a badger that the spec
tators christened him Bunty Pulls the
Strings. He was the first dog in England
10 win the gold medal for work under
ground. Bruser's dam, Affeton Betty
now Locust Lane Betty, Is by Cha"s'o"
Boxer.
Betty made her American debut al Dan
bury. winning the presidents cup LOT the
hest of the breed. Vixen, too. has spleh-
did working record in England. she was
used as a huntsman's terrier for the pri-
vate pack of Lord Londesborough' anu
has been entered both on foxes and Daos-
ers. She is quite small, but wonderluiy
game. Ivy has the distinction OF haVihe
been bred by the Rev. Mr.. Henson ol
Hayerford West, a town in the south OF
Wales famous as the home OF the
Sealyham.
The most important matron IN the heh-
nels. for the nonce, IS Sonny Lily for she
is the mother of six, and while their ioiIu
owner considers them perfect, even to the
Law mind 1t is evident that they are no OF
binary puppies c. G.. Hopton' VINO KNOWS
everything there is to know ABOUT inc
germs CAMS. says that they are the M
est litter Of Sealyhams that he has ever
seen.
Itsabear is the boss Of his particular
run. and all Of his brothers and sisters
recognize his authority. Billtaft doesn
mind what happens to him so long as they
do not take him away from his dinner
Consequently he is rather inclined to en-
bonpoint. Each one gives promise OF
growing into a wonderfully hne terrier
and winning a champion title to wear IN
front of his name. Lily is the sweetest
little matron that ever came to America
sho is by Pembroke Scamp, noted WIN
ner in England.
Mrs. Willets has owned and bred dogs
all her life, but all other proteges nave
had TO abdicate in favor OF Master Sealy-
ham since first she saw his funny little
wire-haired face Mrs. Wnlets considers
the sealyhams the gamest of all terriers
and the breeding and showing OF them
the most fascinating occupation IN the
world. The six puppies which are IN her
Kernels now are the first Of her own
breeding, but she is expecting an increase
i'm the kennels in December and is having
a beautiful sun room fitted up. which she
calls the winter nursery.
Although Mrs. Willets has taken UP
with a new love she is not quite off with
the old. for she has brought from Vir-
gtnia her Dalmatians. French poodles and
cookers. The Dalmatians are Beauty Spot
Blewy and Connie. Beauty Spot is by
CHAMPION Runaway, who proved 10 be
champlon runaway, for he disappeared
from his kennels one morning and never
WAS seen again. Blewy has one blue eye
and one brown eye. He is by Champion
Windy Valley Snowstorm. Connie has
liver-colored freckles and is called Grand
ma in private life She is an imported
matron by Rugby Bomb.
The best OF the cookers is called Pam.
She has been shown three times and has
won three blue ribbons. II. X. Bloodgood
picked Pam out of class of thirteen
when she made her debut as a puppy.
Coco is a French poodle and little sister
10 the well known winner Chocolate Sol
der. She is by Bobo out Of Red Brook
Tiger Lily. Coco has never been shown.
She Is being saved for the Palace show
where several of Mrs. Willets's stars will
make their debuts
Duke is the only ST. Bernard OF which
the establishment boasts. He is house
detective but in reality he has the dispo-
sition OF kitten and insists on sitting IN
his owners lap. Needless TO say Mrs.
Wnlets accords this privilege only 70 her
Sealyhams.
