A visit to a dog show is pleasur-
able opportunity to see and study at

Tninutive to the largest, IS a pureoreo

Two or three hours thus spent IN en-
ioyable sightseeing will not only

ability also lead to contacts win
those who have dogs of the breed de-
cided on. II is well to remember that
for each dog an exhibitor takes 10 a

high. Permission has been granted

by over 100 the highest number OF
shows held in any pre-War year.

This dog took Beat in Show at Amer
ica's largest 1916 outdoor dog event.
there Is TO a dog show. Equally in
teresting and thrilling particularly
TO the seasoned show goer and ram
cier--is to watch the actual judging
of the dogs
Often q first-time spectator, after
watching from the ringside awhile,
will ask, What is the judge looking
for when he goes over the dogs? How
does he compare them?" The answer
IS that each breed has its own official.
Standard which describes IN detail
the conformation and qualities that
constitute a faultlesS specimen, and
that when the judge examines the
dogs in the ring before hlm-inspects
their teeth. feels their muscles and
watches them walk back and forth
he is simply trying to determine
which dog comes closest to mcasur-
ing up to this Standard.
Another frequent inquiry from
spectators is, How IS the best dog
in the show selected? BY what pro-
cedure is one dog lifted out Of sew
eral hundred TO be crowned Best in
Show"
A dog show is a sort OF elimination
contest. First, there is judging OF
various classes in the individual
breeds puppy. Novice, American
Bred. Limit and Open), segregated
by sex The winners of first prize in
each class then compete for Winners
Dog (male) or Winners Bitch (fe-
male). The winner of this class re-
ceives a certain number of points to-
ward his or her championship title,
which are figured IN proportion to
the number Of dogs he or she de-
feated in the classes. Winners Dog
and Winners Bitch are now matched
for Best of Winners, and the winner
of this class meets whatever cham
pions of the breed are entered in the
Specials Only class for title Best OF
Breed. BY the time Best of Breed has
been chosen for every breed repre-
scented in the show, perhaps only 40
or so dogs out of an original entry
of five or six hundred remain eligi-
bic to contend for higher honors.
Now begins the judging of the six
variety groups, called Sporting,
Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy and
transporting Only the Best of Breed
winners are eligible for competition
within their special group; conse-
quently group contests are very keen
and the quality of the contestants Of
the highest order. The six dogs that
are placed first in each of these
groups are then brought together to
contend for the final ana highest
honor of Best in Show. This is the
climax Of the judging and the most
exciting part Of the show. lid ten
sion that almost crackles, the six
fnalists are examined, gait@d and re-
examined. Finally one Of them is
motioned to the center OF the ring
amid cheers and applause, to take his
place in the limelight as champion Of
