Of years. However. toward the end
of the century, after Dobermann
died, a new friend of the breed
arose in Apolda, Otto Goeller, who
knew the virtues of this breed of
dogs, its weakness and its needs.
Under his expert guidance, the breed
developed as show dog. More
Manchester was added, its ferocity
was somewhat abated, its intelli-
gence emphasized, and the breed
came forward as one of those to be
reckoned with. In 1890, the Dober-
mann Pinscher Club was organized.
and by the end Of the first decade
of the new century the Dobermann
ranked third in popularity in Ger
many.
Dogs Ordered Killed.
When war broke out in 1915, Do
bermans were drafted as war dogs
Their courage, agility and intelli-
gence made them ideal for the
purpose. They had already dem
onstrated their ability as police dogs
Due to their sickness and SYM
metry, Dobermans do not, at first
glance, reveal how large and mus
cular they are Since a well-de-
veloped Doberman stands 81 inches
at the shoulder and may weigh rs
pounds. he is not dog to be trif1ed
with when he is on a mission of
mis- own or his masters. In the
current war, Dobermans are again
displaying their usefulness. Accord
ing to recent releases from Ger
many, all dogs not actively engaged
in war duties have been ordered
slaughtered. This is one breed that
is likely to escape the wholesale
murder.
1t is not surprising that Oh.
Ferry Won Rauhfelsen has made the
great record he has. Before he was
bought by Mcclure HALEY, Ferry
had won the title of Doberman sic
ger in Germany for the year 1888.
In this, he followed in the foot
steps of both his parents, Troll v. d.
Engelsburg and Jessy v. d. Sonnen-
hohe, both of whom had made the
sieger title in Germany, been
brought over to this country and
made their American champion
ships. Both are now owned in the
Middle West. With such a back
ground, it Is not surprising that
Ferry comes as close to a breed

standard Of perfection as any dog
has ever come.
In conformation, the Doberman
pinscher follows closely its ancestor,
the black-andtan terrier, although
it is a much larger dog He is a
square dog, being as high at the
shoulders as he is long from chest
to outer edge of thigh Dogs stand
"a to 27 inches and bitches about
2 inches less. It's whole bearing
suggests alertness, nobility and
vivacity. The head of the Dober-
man should be long, lean, wedge
shaped, fiat in skull and clean in
cheek, with slight stop and no sug-
gestion of coarseness. The eyes
should be almond-shaped, dark and
of medium size. The ears should be
cropped to point. The neck
should be clean-cut and arched.
Appearance of Elegance.
The back of the Doberman should
appear short. with a nice slope from
withers to Group. and no suggestion
of weakness. A good spring of
rib, a deep brisket, a well tucked-up
abdomen and well-muscled loins all
add to the appearance of elegance
and the power of the dog
Straight front legs, well-muscled
hind quarters, strong pasterns and
long stiles. as we'll as compact feet,
make up the running gear Of the
good Doberman pinscher. The pop
ular color is black-and-tan, with
red a second choice. However. blue
and-tan Dobermans and chocolate
colored ones are permissible. The
hair is short, glossy, hard and close
lying.
Although much has been said
about the conformation Of the Do
herman pinscher, still more may be
said about the temperament and
disposition. Sincere fanciers Of this
breed advise that it is not one to
be sold to any amateur pet buyer.
This is one breed of dog that must
have supervision, companionship and
training from early infancy 1t is
a dog that needs to learn who is
master. But once having learned
the rules of living, he is an unex-
celled companion and watchdog.
His record in the obedience trials
has been consistently good. His
beauty of form, intelligence and rug
gedness recommend him to many.

Something very clever in the way
of spacing has been achieved by
Peter Pan Kennels of Upper Marl-
boro, for they have somehow man
aged to have their spring litters at
just about weekly intervals. AS a
result, student of the breed could
chart the development of a pre-
bred wire haired fox terrier from
3 days of age to 3 months, without
any gaps in the steady progress. Two
new litters are by the only interna-
tional champion wire-hair in the
country, the Detroit-owned Oh.
Benholme Bayard, and are his first
Itters hereabouts The dams are

Rumors of a new building at Peter

oped that the erstwhile abode Of

house a flock Of summer boarders

though at least one had been
brought up by hand feeding on q
24-hour schedule. Just as the little
families were declared out Of dan
ger, Harold Scott went out one dark
night to look his saddle horse over.
The horse, perhaps embittered by
neglect, administered savage and
unexpected kick. Harold Is in bed
with a leg that may be broken and
certainly is far from serviceable
right now, while Helen has to wait
on him as well as on the dog popu-

KEEPING TAB ON THE DOG WORLD
News of Leaders Dogdom and Their Masters; Comments on
Breeds; Notes Shows Here and Elsewhere
Bv X. X. Tavnfon.

When the great Westminster
show at Madison Square Garden
closed in February, 1899, 1t saw rs
grand champion a dog that had
been in this country only about
eight weeks, a homesick animal that
understood practically no English,
was not sure who his master was
and had not yet made up his mind
to acknowledge that any man in
this strange land was really his
master. Yet, being show dog, one
that had gone places" in his ma
tive land, he gave every bit of CO.
operation possible to his handler,
and landed on top in this most
glamorous of all shows. This dog
was Ferry Won Rauhfelsen, a Dober-
man pinscher imported for Mrs. M.
Hartley Dodge by her kennel Mae
stro, Mcclure HALEY. OF the l3
times Ferry was shown while in the
possession of Mrs. Dodge, he landed
best in show II times, a record prob
ably never before equaled.
Last February 8, Ferry was sold
to L. G. Randle of San Francisco,
who owns the .Randahof Kennels,
famous for many exceptional Dob
ermans, including that famous best
in show winner, Oh. Jockel Won
Burgund. Since his transfer to the
West Coast, Ferry has been shown
number of times, as far East as
Chicago. but to date has never been
defeated in the breed and has piled
up an additional number of best in
show victories.
Friends Wanted Dog.
The Doberman pinscher is breed
OF dog with a comparatively brief
and none too authentic history. 1t
is known that about 1865 there lived
in the town of Apold, Thuringia,
Germany. a certain Herr Dober-
mann, who liked to breed dogs.
Dobermann had two intimete
friends, one grave digger, another
a church bell ringer. In view Of
their lonely occupations, the friends
probably thought a good watchdog
which would also be a good COM
panion would be an ideal sort of
friend, and with the help of Dober-
mann set out to manufacture just
such breed. For foundation stock.
they used the German pinscher: to
it they added a neat dash of rott-
weller, and mixed 1t with a pinch Of
German shepherd for brains. For
elegance. they used a liberal supply
of black-and-tan or Manchester
terrier. In the early specimens,
however, not quite enough Man.
chester terrier was used, and Dober-
manns dog was not quite the sleek
and graceful animal he is today.
But the dog concocted by Dober-
mann and his friends met the origi-
nal specifications. He was a dog
noted for his ferocity He was keen
and full of fire. He was loyal and
intelligent companion. His fame
soon spread all over his native dis
trict, and demands for Dobermann's
puppies came as fast as the bite hes
could supply them Soon, Dober-
mann was running a real puppy
factory and turning out puppies in
mass rates and at prices which
killed all competition. This state
of affairs continued for a number

The Saddle and Sirloin Club of
Chicago, founded by men interested
in the betterment of livestock,
shares its quarters with the Inter-
national Kennel Club of Chicago.
For some years, the Saddle and Sir
loin Club has been collecting por-
traits of fine cattle. sheep and
horses, for display on the club walls
Now the best in show winners OF
the annual Chicago Dog Show, one
of the largest in the country, will be
immortalized by similar series OF
portraits. also to be hung in the
clubrooms. The English artist,
Ward Binks, has already painted
the history-making imported dober-
man, Oh. Ferry v. Rauhfelsen of
Giralda, and the English sheep-dog
and Morris and Essex winner, Oh.
Ideal Weather, best in show win
ners Of the past two years. A por-
trait of the 1910 best in show, the
orange belton English setter, Oh.
Marc of Maridor, is to be added
shortly to the gallery which, accord
ing to Mrs. C. Groverman Ellis,
president of the I. K. c.. will be
kept up during future years.
Speaking of dogs in art, the por-
traits of some outstanding repre-
sentatives of the leading breeds are
going to sea. Edwin Megargee's
talented brush has beautifully caught
the characteristic pose of some very
famous canine heads in the "a
medallions he has just painted for
the new United States liner Amer
lea. The recent Morris and Essex
best in show. Oh. Blakeen Jung
Frau, represents the poodles, Ch.
Gallant Fox of Wildoaks the wire
hairs, and Oh. Tarragona of Row.
anoaks the Bedlingtons. The por-
traits are a striking feature of the
super-kennel accommodations pro-
vided by the new liner.
Mr.. Megargee's own special in
terest is indicated by the fact that
he gave painting of a beautiful
English setter head as prize for best
in sporting group at the Longshore
K. C. Show at Westport, Conn. The
trophy was won by the English
springer spaniel, Mr.. and Mrs.

and spirited AS the match now
stands, A. I. Westrich and H. r.
King, with 280 points to their cred
it, have a substantial lead over their
rivals. Unofflcially, Mrs. A. P. Stock
Wis and S. G. Churchill are tied for
second place with John Donnelly
and Mrs. Jack Bennett each having
a score of 272. Because two boards
were played at one table by pairs
not entitled to play them against
each other, it may be necessary for
certain pairs to take an average on
them, and this may affect the tie
when the official result is computed.
DR.. E. B. Conolly and E. A.
Perkins, one of the pairs likely to
be affected, were fourth in the pre-
liminary line up with a score of 266,
and Louis Newman and DR.. A. j.
Steinberg were fifth with 256k.
In the second section. Mrs. Stein
berg and Mrs. w. S. Athey led with
a score of 1854, while Mrs. Paul E.
Golden and Mrs. Miles E. Myers
were second with 1891, and Col. E.
B. Gray and Mrs. Catharine Tidball
third with 1912. Paul E. Golden Is
