He has been shown in Canada as
we'll as in this country and sports
a Canadian title. In 1888 he was
best American bred hound and
missed being named best American
bred dog by one group in the his
toric race for the title between him
and the Blakeen poodle. Had nom
member club shows been counted,
Herman would have been the VIC
tor by at least five groups. His
value as producing stud Is just
becoming known with the advent
of his progeny at the shows.
Long Head.
Although the name may be 1u-
dicrouslY mispronounced-it should
be pronounced as though spelled dox
hunt-the dog himself is never mis-
taken for another breed He is q
short legged, long bodied, low-to-
the-ground animal, well muscled,
neither clumsy nor slim or weedy.
He must look bold and courageous
as well as intelligent. He is stream
lined for his work which is bur.
rowing into the ground for vicious
game.
The head of the dachshund IS
long, cleancut, uniformly tapered,
with strong teeth that meet in a
scissors bite. The eyes should be
of medium size, dark and oval. The
ears are broad, long, rounded and
set high and well back. The neck
should be long and muscular.
In forequarters, deep chest, a
prominent breastbone, a broad long
shoulder, straight foreleg and broad,
firm feet slightly turned out are
correct. In hindquarters, strength
and muscularity are emphasized.
A strong, level and a long, strong,
tapered tail, not carried gaily, are
essential. The smooth coat should
be dense, short and glossy. The
long coat should be similar to that
Of the Irish setter and the wire hair,
like that of the German spuky-
haired pointer, should be hard with
good undercoat
Shows scheduled for early in July
include the fashionable Southamp-
ton, Long Island, fixture on July 6.
This is another of those events
that always makes the society Sec
ton headlines. One never knows at
these affairs whether the dogs, the
exhibitors or the gate" is the main
attraction.
After Southampton, the dog show
circuit swings to the Middle and
Far West until the beginning of
August when the always delightful

place August 3. This is dog show
that is joy from beginning. which
means the long drive up and back.
Skytop Club is located on one Of
the highest peaks of the Poconos.
has an ideal spot on the polo field
for an outdoor show, and always
offers something interesting in the
way of added attractions.

were officially consolidated into one
government controlled organization.
This combined the factions that
were primarily interested in field
trials, in actual hunting and in
breeding for bench show. Bench
and field trials were held at the
same shows.
AS was to be expected, with
official emphasis on utility in Ger
many and with the introduction Of
a type of field trial that could be
reproduced in this country, field
trials for dachshunds were intro
duced in this country in 1886 and
championship points were assigned
by the American Kennel Club.
Now Largest Entry.
The history of the dachshund in
this country has been almost as
long as that of any recognized breed.
The Dachshund Club of America was
founded in 1895. By 1918 dachsies
were among the 10 largest entries
at Westminster, then the largest
show in the country. BY 1918 the
breed was nearly extinct in this
country, due to war sentiment.
From 1918 to 1890 it was practically
in allegiance. From 1880 to 1884 it
jumped to 11th place in American
Kennel Club registrations and
sixth place in dog show entries. At
most major shows it is now the
largest entry.
Probably the greatest breeder Of
dachshunds that ever lived was Will
helm Won Daake, who started breed
ing about 1868. He is said to have
crossed the original dachshund stock
with German bloodhound blood, to
accentuate the keen nose and hunt
ing prochvities of this breed. He
was the breeder and owner of the
three pillars of the breed, the studs
Pumpernickel 3248. Knopf 281 and
Monsieur Schneidig 588, the dogs
that helped fix modern dachshund
type.
Glorious Career.
Undoubtedly the dog that most
closely conforms to the dachshund
standard in this country is ch. Her.
man Rinkton, smooth red dog,
owned by Mrs. Annis Jones, South
Orange, N. j. Herman Rinkton has
a record unequalled by any other
dachshund in this country, or any
other. He was bred by Victor
Moench, Buffalo. bought by Dick
Heller while tiny puppy, and sold
by the latter to the Joneses at the
Baltimore dog show two years ago,
after he had won best of breed, but
before he had been taken into the
group.
He not only topped the group, but
went on to win best dog in show,
all breeds, starting a glorious ca
reer. Since then he has won 100
best of breed awards out of 14O
times shown, 10 times he topped
the hound group. 10 times he has
been best dog in show of all breeds.

puppy. If he can get the neces-
sary points in the next few weeks
Mike will nang up record, but July
and August are the worst months
for such an attempt.
Beech Tree Farms of Falls Church
now boasts a canine rarity in an
all-blue Shetland sheepdog puppy,
3 weeks old Two of the new litter
are ordinary-Which is to say, very
healthy and handsome-Sheltie pups.
The odd one was thought at first to
be the hopedfor merle. which to
many conveys the idea of this un.
usual blue-gray shade. The term
merle" however, signifies the
marbling of gray with white and
black, seen on occasional collies and
shelties, and this pup is all blue
gray, the shade of a maltese kitten.
AS the dam is Beech Tree Pussy
Willow and the sire the English
refugee dog" Ch Catmore Chum,
the pussy-cat influence may have
been just too much for old dame
nature. Beech Tree dogs all have
the names of flowers or plants. so
it is fore ordained that the maltese
pup" will be named Catnip.
Aside to wirehair fanciers: Yes,
Benholme Bayard is, so far as We
know, the only tri-international
champion of the breed. That i'm
portant prefix was accidentally
omitted in the volumn of last Sum-
day. Among the international
champs is the locally owned Oh.
Talaurora Smasher. Bayard gained
his title abroad, before tackling CON-
petition for his points in Canada
and the U. S. A.
In addition to several which are
sporting the title, no less than 10 Of
DR.. Ernest Butz's beagles have cham
plonship points. Betting varies as to
which will cross the line first-a new
kind of chase for the active little
members of the sporting group.

Somewhere in France" and the
cause of much anxious speculation
here, is an American dog taken
abroad several months ago, before
hostilities reached their present vio-
lence. He is the brother of Mrs.
Robert j. Bates Dynamite, a snow
white, 3-year-old bullterrier, a IA
miliar sight to those who live near
Scott circle and Sixteenth street.
The dog was the cherished possess
sion of q military attache of the
British Embassy, and when the colo
mel was transferred on a mission to
France, Dynas brother, the White
Cavalier, went to the front with his
man. Friends Of both man and dog
wonder what may have become of
them during the past dramatic days.
At the June meeting of the WASH
ington Bulldog Club the temporary
officers chosen early in the spring
were reelected unanimously to serve
for the ensuing year They are:
President, Arthur R. Forbush; vice
president, Mrs. George Hosmer; Sec
retary, John O. Gum, 53O6 Broad
Branch road NV; treasurer, Mrs.
James A. Allen, Mclean, Va. With
36 names on the list of charter men,
bers, this local speciality club is
making active plans for fall puppy
match and for a speciality show in
the spring of 1941.
The Mansfields aud the officials
of Doctors Hospital have been
putting their heads together over
an interesting invaid-Deane, the
big st. Bernard champion, head
man of the Delakay Kennels. When
the Mansfield station wagon was
bumped from the rear by a careless
driver two months ago Deane was
thrown against the seat and soon
afterward developed a limp. Al
though it sometimes seemed better,
eventually the big dog was suffering
QUILL pam Cl1oos oAlASC q NCGCl llldl ldll >
X-ray machine could not penetrate
Deane's heavy coat and massive
shoulder, Dowell Mansfield appealed
to the hospital for help.
1t took much maneuvering, but
finally, by laying the patient on the
floor and putting the powerful ma
chine at an odd angle, x-ray pic
lures were taken and the trouble
located. Now the big fellow is
steadily improving and able to sleep
without the aid of aspirin or codine.
In fact, the Mansf1elds soon will face
the problem Of conveying to him the
fact that he is no longer a house
pet but must return to the kennel
a task which may involve some hurt
feelings before the notion is put
across.

A year ago space was leased from

The District of Columbia Chapter
of the Electric Railroad Association
held its June meeting at the home
of Frank Blake, 1855 Flower avenue.
Silver Spring, Md. This very active
club is interested in all electrically
propelled forms of mass transporta-
ton. A reel of film depicting a ride
on a West Coast interurban was
shown at the meeting. Any one in

The other event will be the first
1910 regatta of the Miniature Power
Boat Club of Washington. 1t will
be held on the Lincoln Memorial
Rejecting Pool, between 10 am. and
pm. This will be the first of the
organization's annual series of three
intra-club regattas, held each year
to determine the winner of the club
class D trophy. A class D model
power boat. for the information of
those who do not know. is one which
weighs under pounds, and has a
maximum piston displacement Of 10
cubic centimeters. This contest is
open only to club members, and the
winners are determined by the
point-scoring method (the same as
used for scoring the big fellows in
the Presidents Cup Regatta) in a
series of three regattas of three races
each. The winners of last years
series were Roy Emmons, first:
George Emig, second, and Jack Pen
dleton, third.
The club meets on the first We'd
nesday of each month Except June,
July and August. 1t would well
come new members over IA years of
age. and any one interested should
telephone the secretary, Mr.. Pendle-
ton, Columbia 8525-W, or ask for
him at the Denrike Building, 1910
Vermont avenue NV, any Monday
night. And. of course, a visit to the
Rejecting Pool next Sunday will
permit you to see the boats in ac-
ton and to meet the members. also
in action. Although there are no
meetings during the summer, the
club is very active with races and
such, and there's no need to wait till
fall to join, If you're interested.
