Takes seth Best
The Colonel-with Bang Away
out of the running-swept the
field to take his Goth best"
since entering competition in
1851. He also won here two
years ago over GOT other en-
trants. His owner, Mr.. Holt,
said he will take the dog this
week end to a series of shows
on the Virginia Carolina circuit,
where he hopes to compile
enough wins to put his dog in
front to stay.
The show drew entries in vir-
tually every breed recognized by
the American Kennel Club, from
all parts Nof the country. Popu-
lar favorites were the pocket
sized chihuahuas and miniature
dobermans and their enormous
cousins. the great danes and
Irish wolfhounds, each waist
high to tall man.
Besides the judging among
breeds there were obedience
trials, parade of champions
and an exhibition by a crack
doberman pinscher drill team.
Judging Takes 10 Hours
The judging took 10 solid
hours. In the final competition
for best in show, the winning
English setter was pitted against
five other dogs-a chow chow, a
dachShund, a Welsh corgi, a
Scottish terrier and a pekingese.
