Oh. Brilliantine, the sire of the
Pagemore bloodlines.
A proud stepfather is Mrs. Harvey
Browns big doberman-pinscher,
Herr Faust " Brickley. The mother
is her tiny schipperke, Nonette of
Franconia, winners bitch at Alex
andria and elsewhere last spring.
Nonette recently whelped three
skip" puppies and Faust acted the
expectant father. Finally, after he
had anxiously paced the floor for
some time without any one paying
much attention to him, Mrs. Brown
took him, on his leash, to see the
new family. Shivering with excite
ment, Faust crept up to the box
and nuzzled the puppies, one by
one.
When Nonette sat up and licked
his inquiring nose he heaved a
great sigh of relief and Topped
down before the box, on guard. Mrs.
Brown decided she need not have
worried about his possible jealousy
of the pups, for now it is as hard
to coax him away from them as it
is Nonette.

OF the DeUter-knOWn DreeQS.
Way back in 1545 a young lady,
who was destined to become the
Queen of Poland in a short time,
bought an "epagnol nairn" from
one Giovanni Filiiponi of Bologna,
who had an extensive and lucrative
business in the breeding and SELL
ing of these dwarf spaniels." Not
only did he sell his little spaniels to
the royalty of Poland, but he also
had an entree to the court of
France. His little dogs were owned
by many in the court of Louis XIV.
Nine. de Pompadour, Marie de Me-
dici and Marie Antoinette were
among his clients.
They and many others had their
portraits painted by the greatest
artists of the time with their IA
vorite dogs. Rubens, Van Dyck
and Van du Temple may be said to
have fixed the type of these little
dogs in their portraits of the no.
bility.
Butterfly"
Nor did the popularity of the
breed die out with the fall of the
FFench Empire. Almost a hundred
years later, when Watteau, Frago-
nard and others of that school
were painting their dainty pseudo
shepherds and shepherdesses, these
toy dogs fitted naturally into the
scenes. In the course of time some
slight changes appeared in the gen.
eral appearance of the dogs and
the name was altered to fit. While
the droop- cared variety continued
to appear and still does appear in
many ntters, the ears of many Of
these dogs began to stand erect.
Due to the long fringe, the place
ment on the sides of the head and
the general shape of the ear, they
strongly suggested the outline of a
butterfly, and the name "papillon, "
which means butterfly, was given
to the erect-eared variety of the
breed. Dwarf spaniel is still ap-
piled to the droop-eared members
of this family, although "papillon'
now designates the entire breed.
1t is thought that there may be
some relationship between the
chihuahua and the papillon since
the size, shape and ear carriage and
general conformation of skull and
muzzle are similar. There is like
lihood that the early Spanish ex-
Evening star., 1940-09-08

plorers brought some chihuahuas
back from Mexico and that they
were bred to the toy dogs of the
region, resulting in the little court
favorite. The converse is also
among the possibilities: namely, that
the little spaniel was taken to
Mexico by some of the gentlemen
adventurers and that they went
native" interbreeding with the dogs
of the region to produce what we
now know as the chihuahua. The
occasional appearance of long
haired chihuahua in a short-haired
litter would add credence to this
theory. Papillons, as far as known,
are always long-haired.
Vari- Colored.
An outstanding representative of
the breed is Jean McGrath's Petite
Suzette. which lacks but three points
of her championship. Suzette has
two 3-point shows. one APPOINT
and couple of single pointers
to her credit. She was sired by Oh.
Stonecroft domino and her dam
is Vanderloy's Petite Jean, both dogs
that carry the best blood lines in the
breed. A picture shows her partic-
ularly lovely ear fringes, slightly
domed skull and fine muzzle, with
the narrow, white blaze that is sup
posed to represent the body of the
butterfly.
In body, these dogs are very
daintily formed, with rather long
back, light bone, good tuck up,
gorgeously plumed tail carried over
the back, and long, silky, straight
coat. In England, both bi-colors,
and tri-colors, with white predomi-
natings are allowed. In this country
solid colors as well are permissible.
There is a wide choice of colors,
since red, black, sable, chestnut and
various shades of brown in between
are allowable. The papillon should
stand under II inches and weigh
less than 9 pounds. In the show
ring, the smaller dogs are more to
be desired, and good show specimens
often weigh about pounds.
In spite of their diminutive size
and dainty ways, the papillons are
extremely hardy, withstanding ex-
tremes of temperature. They are
very easy Whelpers, and, believe it
or not, are often very good ratters.

A Dog Lovers Notebook

Every week end from now on will
see dog show addicts taking the
road. Pennsylvania welcomes them
this coming Saturday and Sunday
with shows at Devon and White
marsh Among those going to the
Montgomery County K. c. show
Sunday are the Raymond Scaggs,
with two Welsh terriers, puppy
and the young male that won the
Old Dominion K. C. puppy match
last winter, and Harold SCOTS, with
a Boston terrier pup.
A distinguished gentleman has
come to Washington for sojourn.
He is Champion Cambridge Gladi-
ator of R-K-O, a white bulldog now
with the A. R. Forbushes in George
town His hosts plan to introduce
him to bulldog society hereaboutS,
especially to daughters of their for
mer stud, General Grant, and their
present one, Lonarch of R-K-O. He
will also travel little, taking in
some of the Eastern shows.
Bred by Sam Almond of Califor-
MIA, Gladiator was shown to his
championship by his owner, Mrs.
Don Chandler of St. Louis, Mo. He
has 18 points won in five shows, in
Vulnerable blues, % specials, was
many times best of breed and COM
pleted his title by dramatic best
in show over II bulldogs, including
eight champions. This record is all
the more remarkable because he is
lightweight, regular pocket
piece" as the average persons idea
of a bulldog goes, although he is
huge in head and has compact,
well-tucked-up body, true to the
breed standard.
Bob, as he is known, is also a
sturdy, active little fellow, belying
the notion that bulldogs are slow
and lazy. In fact, shortly before
he left Missouri, he went poaching,
chased and caught a half-grown
chicken and proudly brought his
Tapping prize home to Mrs. Chan
dler, perhaps as a hint for his own
farewell dinner.
There are two new names on the
"prosPsat" list of the Washington
Bulldog Club and both are reason
ably sure of election when they at
tain mature age. One is Wade
Hampton Grimm, month-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Grimm of
Garfield street; the other Susanna
Gordon Turnbull, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John G. Turnbull of Ar
lington.

sons Chow, Champion East Is East,
