When there IS 50 much doubt ex-
pressed as TO the p-opo- sort o. Sealy-
har terriers 10 breed, il, is , pleasure
to hcsr she opinion o. Isaac Black. who
,4aesges the Creoat-ee Kernels for
N-s. Payne Whitney,
NJ. BLACK does rot use one o. his
own dogs TO "Doi-. moral and adorn
a tale" No, indeed, Instead, he lines
I'D his dogs ard says: Now, this IS
The proper So, o. head for Sealyham
% have, out, o. course, their legs should
be s.raigh. IN front. That is al non
sense sbou. Sealyha-, having crooked
legs. They should be cutie as straight
rs those o. the COX terrier, OILY not
nearly so ,ong."
Like that SPLENDID te~~'er, the Aire-
dale. the Scalyham IS undoubtedly
manufactured breed, ba. Re has bred
true TO type Tor so many years that
every one has forgotten it.
The Greentree Kennels are situated
in the centre o. hundreds of acres OF
rolling green in Manhasset, Long ISL
and. and the favored dogs or, rather,
those VINO know enough TO play IN their
own back yard are allowed TO roam
at their own sweet will.
Those with marked nomadic tenden-
cies are kept in the kennels ana IN the
rms. which are laid out IN the shade
o. trees that are centuries old.
Among the favored ones are Easton
Fusee and Mona Lisa. Eeston fusee
is the special pet Of MIR. Black, and
cannot be induced TO leave him tor ilVe
minutes. Mona Lisa is an Italian sneP,-
herd dog. and one does not have 10 ask
why she IS so named.
Mona was discovered sitting OUTSIDE
tie kennels with her paws crossed IN
tront of her. her head tipped to one
side and q slightly quizzical expression
or her face. ..I
doesn't she look just like the picture
apd most asSuredly she does.

Besides Mona Lisa there are num-
hor IF other Italian sheep dogs in
The kennels. About the best known
Copdro and Pedro.
One long haired dachshund graces
Greentree. but she is so extremely OF
namental that she is usually on paraoe
in the big house by the lake. Dachsy 5
kennel name is Lazlo, but she was
cbristened Dirk Won der Dune. ohe
is by Sugn knub Won der Dune Dlaha
and was bred by the Countess o|e-

Mrs. Black is quite as fond of dogs
as is her husband, and her present
nroteoe is little waif which she
found outside the lodge gate win
broken leg about three months ago:
The waif is by no means an unlii-
portant parsonage, although her oIlEi j"
has remained untraced. MRS. black oe-
cided that she must have 1alieh from
some passing motor cor, but her lueh-
titv was never discovered. She is now
;nctalled in the kennels under the name
of Topsy. Topsy is very me specl-
men Of smooth fox terrier. and Just
eight weeks after Mrs. Black took IN
the stranger she rewarded her bene.
factress by presenting her with a half
dozen beautiful puppies. or course
the ancestry is quite unknown, but the
Youngsters were so good that four OF
them have already been sold for blg
price and the money donated to the
Red Cross. Mrs. Black would like to
keep the remaining two. but perhaps
il the offer were tempting enough she
might for the sake Of the Red Cross
fund part with them.
Mr. Black has been with the Green
tree Kennels ever since they were found
ed. and he krOws everything there is
to know about Sealyham terriers. 1t
looks as though he were in possession
OF system which is bound to win. and
if he produces the kind Of Sealyhams
which he says he is going to it be
