In Ireland, in order to achieve the
honor of a championship title, the
Kerry blue must qualify in a fight
with a badger, and rats and rab-
bits, as well as attain bench hon.

the ring would win him nothing
but black looks. The Kerry must
be a gentleman in his native land.

The casual dog-show visitor, in
terested perhaps in finding breed
of dog that suits him, must surely
get the wrong impression of an
ancient and attractive breed when
he sees the Kerry Blue terriers,
held on taut leaShes and subtly
encouraged to snarl and snap at
each other by their profusely pers-
piring handlers. Surely these
handlers. in exhibiting the "ter-
rier fire" of their charges, are
losing far more than they gain by
their exhibition.
The newcomer to the dog show,
the prospective purchaser of a
fine puppy for a pet, attracted by
the unusual color and beauty of
the Kerry blue, is repelled by the
display of apparently untamable
Ill temper. He cannot know that,
left to his own devices, the Kerry
blue is anything but a fighting
devil; that his virtues include a
sweetness of disposition which he
reserves for his master and his
masters family, with a supreme
Indifference to all others. His
courage needs no foolish display
in the show ring, for it has been
tried again and again under all
sorts of conditions and never been
found wanting. His loyalty is
proverbial.
His abilities include not only the
usual terrier ones of vernlin ex-
termination, but he is a good re-
triever, has marvellous scenting
powers and in his native Kerry
Mountains is the farm watch dog
and shepherd as well. In England,
fighting, snarling Kerry blue
would be barred from competition.

in many an early litter Of Irish
terriers" blue puppies and black
and tan puppies were just as likely
to occur as the reds and wheatens
now demanded by the Irish terrier
standard. Perhaps these blue pup
pies formed the nucleus of the pres
ent Kerry blue breed. Perhaps a
little Bedlington terrier or dash
of dandie dinmont terrier sullied
the early family trees. Whatever
the circumstances of the founding
of the breed, there is no question
but that the Kerry first found his
pure-bred form among the scat
tered farms and crofts of County
Kerry in Ireland. He was forcibly
called to the attention of the outer
world when he was adopted, by the
name of Irish blue terrier, as the
national dog of Fire. Then, like
many another Irishman, he went
wandering over the face of the
earth. He is to be found in all the
European countries, India, Africa,

The B. S. M. E. layout boasts a
fine three-track rolling lift bridge,
which has just been rebuilt from

The Baltimoreans seem to be very
