S. J. Held has just. returned from
the big Boston terrier specially show
at Boston. Mass. and reports that he
was awarded the special for best bred
10y exhibitor with his Ch. District
Boss. A number of bitches have been
recently bred to this dog, who is a
product of line-breeding to Ch. Peters
King.
Firetraps Lady, Mrs. r. c. Birney's
Boston terrier brood bitch, was killed
last Sunday in a fight with one of
her kennel mates. AS is the case with
many good breeding dogs. she was not
a show specimen, but leaves behind
her a record Of rearing puppies strong
in constitution and bearing the cor
rect Boston terrier markings. The
value of such an animal can be appre-
ciated by any one familiar with the
breed. since not one bitch in ten can
successfully rear a litter Of puppies.
The pointer brood bitch. Rap's
Betty. formerly owned by the Twin
Pine Kennels at Kensington. Md. is
now the dam of four prominent field
Johanna, winner of the Texas trials;
Trimble's Mister Jim, winner of the
seventeenth American field futurity;
Trimble's Frank and Tidewater John,
which stamps her as one of the lead
ing producing bitches Of today. :
Frank A. Kerr reports the breed
ing of A. p. Woodson's bitch, Peggy
and D. n. Burnham's bitch to his
Airedale stud dog. Spec Dee Bozo.
j. E. Walters Airedale. Nancy
Brian, has just whelped litter OF
nine puppies to DR.. D. e. Bucking-
hams ch. Valley Forge Volcano; Volcano;
Chinook, the only American-bred
Airedale who ever gained his title
abroad. These puppies should ap-
peal strongly 4 to those looking for
breeding stock. as they show eighteen
champions in five generations of their
pedigree.
Evidence that personal appeal and
feeling are not things OF the paSt
is brought out by the following story:
A night watchman in one Of the large
stores of the city came into the office
of local veterinarian with his dog
collie. which had been struck by
an automobile. He asked the nature
Of his dogs ailment, and was told
that it had broken hip in addition
to a case of distemper. When told
that the necessary treatment would
require about two weeks. and sthat
, recovery then was doubtful, he left
orders for the. dog to be destroyed
explaining that he lived on the top
floor of rooming house. that he
could not keep a sick dog there, and
that he could not afford to have it
treated in a dog hospital Noting the
mans sorrow at parting with his pet
the veterinarian kept the dog. gave
it the necessary treatment. and. now
has effected a complete recovery
The man had asked that he be notf-
fed in case the veterinarian ever
came across a dog of that breed
which needed a good home. and he
was advised yesterday to come by
the Office and see a collie which might
interest him.
The night watchman at M. Brooks
e. Co.'S. 1909 q street northwest. will
bc glad to give the name of the
veterinarian to interested parties.
