G. H. Child has had the misfortune
to lose his bullterrier stud dog, One
Up, who was killed by a train last
Sunday This dog, while not a show
specimen himself, had the power to
impart show qualities to his get. a
quality not always seen IN even the
champions of the different breeds,
and his loss will be keenly felt by Mr..
Child.
Howe Totten, who has for thirty
years bred Great Danes at his Win
Md, reports an unusually successful
season in the breeding of these fine
dogs. Mr.. Totten breeds only the
harlequin type, and has always kept
to the small kennel idea, that of
breeding only a few choice Htters
each year, The effect of dual
ity rather than quantity breed
ing is seen in the fine breeding stock
on his farm Totten has Is the head
of his kennels Champion Tristan of
Wirde rbourne, who may often be seen
following his master around the
streets in Washington.
