THE PUG. 455 specimen all round, who has proved himself an exceedingly good stud dog. Amongst other prominent exhibitors and breeders of black Pugs are Mrs. Raleigh Grey—who in Rhoda owned one of the best females of the breed—Aliss H. Cooper, ]\Irs. Recketts, and Mrs. Kingdon. The Mopshund is the name given in Germany to the Pug, and there is on the Continent a long-haired variety of doubt- ful ancestry. In France it is called the Carlin a poll long, and in most respects it is recognisable as a Pug with an ample silky coat and a bushy tail. The tail, however, is not curled tight, but carried hghtly over the back. It is said to resemble the now almost extinct dog of Alicante. Not many years ago Her Ma^'esty the Queen possessed a dog of this kind named Quiz, and some expert who inquired into its origin pronounced it to be a mongrel or a freak. Dog owners who keep Pugs and Pomeranians indiscriminately together, will know how such a freak may sometimes be unintentionally achieved. There is a smooth-coated variety of the Pekinese Spaniel which closely resembles the modern Pug; a circumstance which adds weight to the theory that the Pug is of Chinese MISS C. ROSA LITTLE'S CH. BETTY OF POMFRET (fawn) and CH. LADY MIMOSA (black)..
