. The new book of the dog; a comprehensive natural history of British dogs and their foreign relatives, with chapters on law, breeding, kennel management, and veterinary treatment. Dogs. 366 THE NEW BOOK OF THE DOG. Cruft's the record number of thirty-eight faced the judge; so there is still hope. Apart from show purposes the Bedlington has many admirers, consequently there is a fair demand for the breed; and as a general rule the owner of these terriers becomes enamoured of them, and swears by them. Bedlingtons are not dainty feeders, as most writers have asserted, nor are they tender dogs. If they are kept in good con- dition and get plenty of exercise they feed as well as any others, and are as hard as nails if not pampered. They are easy to breed and rear, and the bitches make excellent mothers. If trained when young they are very obedient, and their tendency to fight can in a great measure be cured when they are puppies; but, if not checked then, it cannot be done afterwards. Once they take to fighting nothing will keep them from it, and instead of being pleasurable companions they become positive nuisances. On the other hand, if properly broken they give very little trouble, and will not quarrel unless set upon. Of the dogs of note exhibited in recent years mention may be made of the following : Mrs. P. R. Smith's champions Clyde Boy, Breakwater Girl and Breakwater Squire (all blues). Breakwater Flash (liver), and Breakwater Peer (blue), Mr. Harold Warnes' Ch. Miss Oliver, Cranley Rosette, and Cranley Rags (livers), Cranley Piper, Cranley Blue Boy, and Cranley Blue Peter (blues), Mr. J. Blench's Ch. Afton Jessie (blue), Mr. J. W. Blench's Ber- wick Blue Boy (blue), Mr. W. B. Baty's Champions Beaconsfield, Turquoise, and Bellerby Bishop, Bellerby Maid, and Bellerby Piper (all blues), Mr. W. Wear's Clyde Pincher (blue), Mr. J. Wilson's Dudley Blue Boy, Mr. Holmes' Afton Nettle, Mr. R. C. Irving's Champions Jock of Or an (blue), and Viva (liver), Mr. John Cook's
