Dogs Rival
Champions OF the East

Jenson, a famous winner in Germany,
both at the police trials and on the
bench. He was much on the same type
as the Eastern champion Friggo, but
better in feet He was finally beaten
for best of the breed by Gretchen, a
very fine bitch puppy, which had the
better skull and sounder quarters.
Bulldogs had the best collection ever
seen in the West, d great compliment
20 Dir. Hopton, who has bred more
champions than any other breeder. He
EXPRESSED himself as being more than
surprised az the grand quality. The
dog TO which / awarded third in the
open was the imported champion Mack
worth BERTHE, which for a time beat
them all in the East, and for which /
offered $1,000 within the last two
years" said Mr. Hopton. He was right
ly beaten here by the new arrival,
Country Model, and the local bred
champion st. Germain Jimmy, which,
by the way, is son of the much
abused black and tan Firenze Snow
fake, bred by Robert Guggenheim.'
A very fine pair of puppies came out
-McDonald's Bill Boy and Nc
Donald's Little Miss Bully which won
many frsts and cups, the bitch going
to the reserve in winners She is said
to be good enough to beat anything in
the East.
Airedales caused some amusement
by the manner in which several were
trimmed, the skull, neck, shoulders and
top Of body having been clipped, leav-
ing the legs au naturel, which, as one
can readily imagine, resulted in q
somewhat ludicrous appearance. The
iudge, however, made allowances, even
going so far as to place Pixies Peak
Benedict on top in American breds
over some well known winners, as he
was so good in all points barring con-
dition.
The best of the breed went TO the
noted champion His Highness, which
now holds the coast 10 coast and Ger
man championships. The best in
bitches was 500 Florodora, a very
smart type with rare bone. She beat
the two Baughfell nomirations-Her
Highness and Blanca and other well
known winners.
It was easy for High Gear in wire
haired fox terriers. while in the
smooths the FL Sur Kennel won with
The Rush and Modesty, the latter win
ming for best smooth. In both bull
terriers and Irish terriers Mr. Hopton
withheld winners, as the quality was
not of sufficient merit for a four-point
show.
An old-time favorite champion was
beaten in French bulldogs. It was a
case Of youth being served" Brent
wood Ponto, a son Of the noted cham
pion Sikdar Prince, beating his sire
The noted Noisette, just arrived from
the East, won in bitches, but was
beaten by Ponto for best of the breed.
Boston terriers, judged by John
Elkins. of Chicago, had a splendid
entry. the competition being very keen.
In dogs at least six were good enough
for the winners. The best however
went 20 Sparkling Burgundy Jim,
grand little dark briudle. with perfect
markings and head, where he beat the
runner-up, Oak Glen Flyer.
The bitches were even better than
the dogs. This class brought together
the Bayside champion, Del Rey Doro,
ard al the local winners. The nick
was Arroyo Audacity, a topper, which
had little 10 spare, however. in besting
Macy's Patsy. placed reserve, and Del
Rey Doro, which, accepting the win
ming dog as the type, might have won,
as she is the counterpart of him, and
even improved in some points. The
Beautiful Doll, entered for specials
only, beat them all for best of the
breed.
In Pekingese Mrs. Sidney Harris won
both championships with champion
sun Of Llenrud and Wen-ti, the for
mer winning for best. He has i'm
proved greatly since going West.
