eral angles. Suey Sin Fab Is almost
blind from an injury received when

excellent points and splendid blood
lines. the kennels were anxious to
tempted to breed her. Suey Sin Fans

Pao Lung of Llenrud were whelped
prematurely and all died. Fearing
some such mishap in the present case.
and lest the little mother was I'M
equal to her task with such a. handi-
cap, tho kennels advertised widely
for a foster mother. While many re-
plies were received and much interest

Fab took matters into her own hands
brought up in her own way. Both
she and her typical, unblemished
puppies are thriving.
A further point of interest to Peke
fanciers Is the matter of so-called
color breeding" Suey Sin FANS dam
was a pure white Pekingese, whelped.
however, in a litter of dark reds and
sables from dark colored parents, by
name Tim Sun. In breeding Suey Sin
Fab to Ashton-More Sam-Su, a black,
whose sire was wolf sable and whose
dam was red, the Eidolons have two
black puppies and a wolf sable, all
of which goes to prove there Is no
such saying as color breeding" II
