Purchasers of dogs In England this

disqualified the disqualification extends to

plies not only TO persons guilty of fraudu-

SNIPY FACES CONDEMNED.
Welsh Terrier breeders Also Com
bine Against Broad skulls.

Recently at a meeting of the Welsh
Terrier Breeders Association at Aberdare.
Wales, It was agreed that broad skulls
and snipy faces in this old breed shall
be condemned" On the other hand II
was generally agreed" that the general
outline OF a Welsh terrier should be nearer
the present day fox terrier type. This
new departure is the very one that the
founders OF the Welsh Terrier Club sew
eral years ago sought to discourage. The
snipy face was never liked. but the
stronger skulled and heavier jowled dog
was considered the right and only type.
The length of foreface does not de-
termine the strength or power OF the Jaw
The cat. the otter, the badger are all
short faced, but they are enormously pow
erful In their jaws. Some time ago wire
haired fox terrier blood was introduced
into Welsh terriers both in England and
America and now apparently the new
standard Is desired TO At the outcome OF
the fox terrier cross.

NEW STYLE VARIETY CLASSES.
Devon show strikes Out with Idea
to Aid the Fancy.

The dog show to be held at Devon. Pa.
on June 10 promises to be as fashionable
as ever. George Foley, the superintend-
ent says that he thinks the committee
has acted wisely in doing away with the
so-called best in the show" unclassiiied
specials. At n one days show time is
short and very often the best dogs have
been take away before these belated com
petitions come on. Tile Devon committee
is giving a new style of variety classes.
Mr.. Foley puts the matter In this way:
These variety classes should prove a
real benefit to the fancy. In place OF
variety classes FOR sporting dogs. terriers,
&c. we have more comprehensive and
clearer logic for best dog. there being
variety classes for puppies. novice, Ameri-
can bred. limit and open. ANY breed
puppy winning in the variety puppy class
is legitimately the best puppy in the
show"
