The New York herald., 1922-12-24

yoritism- II we are going to bar Amer
Jeans for certain reasons there fs no
excuse for accepting Englishmen Just
because they have judging regulations.
However, there are those who feel that
1t would be better to let all. judge and
only bar those who show their unfitness
or unworthiness.
Walter Glynn win Judge number Of
the breeds of terriers at the Westminster
show. 1t is to be hoped that he will
get some of the more difflcult ones about
which there has been most dissension-
This would give chance for people
here to see how the breeds are rated
by. the man considered the greatest
terrier official in the country from which
all terriers except the Boston have come.
The Westminster Kennel Club Is to be
congratulated on getting Mr.. NGlynn to
come Oldtimers in the dog game will
remember his work when he was here
before. He Is a thorough master Of his
subject. Mr.. Campbell will not ofhciate
at the Westminster show. He Will be
seen at the show Of the combined terrier
clubs Of America. He comes from Scot
land and as is natural specializes in the
Scottish terrier. He Is also extremely
popular as Judge abroad and his work
here will be watched with interest.
German Judging I'm Disfnvor.
Following the meeting Tuesday
learned that the ban has been put on
the German method of Judging shepherd
dogs. Yhi5 business of hitting at the
dogs with a switch. slapping them in the
face with a catalogue or stamping on
the floor Is going to stop. 1t smacks
moro OF the field trial than the bench
show and is out of place at the latter.
/ think this was clearly demonstrated
when the great German Judge. DR.. Kurt
Rosebeck. was here.
It Is patiently impossible to train
dogs here to meet the same tests they
do in Germany In that country che
dogs yard is his domain and he has a
right to treat as he pleases those who
come therein. He can be made SENT
savage without any penalty upon tho
owner. Here. the owner Is responsible
If the dog does damage to those who
come within his premises IL they are
invited. / talked recently with Judge
Townsend Scudder on this point and he
explained the meaning of invited" in
this sense. It applies TO any trades
people who come to give service and
others who have a tacit Invitation, but
does not apply to itinerant traders or
those whose business on the premises l.
not the result OF regular business with
the owner.
A dog trained TO curb his temper
against invaders Of his territory. can
not be expected to show his temper in a
show ring when threatened by a judge.
His training and not lack OF courage
are often responsible for his refusal to
stand up TO threats. Therefore the PEN
alizlng Of dogs for such refusal is un-
just.
The Westminster Kennel Club has al
ready obtained the following Judges for
It's show :: Mr.. Glynn. p. A B. Widener
of EllSins Park, Pa. VINO will handle
shepherds; Mrs a. L. Holland, Cam
bridge, Md. Pekingese: G. A. G. Glebe,

lies Mrs. F.sA. Dallen. Boston, Boston
terriers; DR.. George Anderson, New
York. French bulldogs and some other
breeds; c. G.. Hopton. New York, point
ers and settlers and possibly others
This list contains some great judging
talent. Mrs. Holland is one OF the Oldest
exhibitors OF Pekingese. Mrs. McCurdy
OF collies, and Mrs. Dallen OF Bostons.
The others on tho list have equally
strong qualifications and II the remain
der of the officials are as good the show
should be one OF the most successful In
Westminster history.
