Mr. C. S. Fauntleroy is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, of the showing public - in fact, long before the Kennel Club was started.

His first win was with a Spaniel at a show held in Holborn: that show was founded by the late Messrs. Holland, Gilbert, and others. Mr. Fauntleroy for years showed Setters with very fair success, and being a shooting man, just showed what he used in the field. Very few of the breed stopped in England, as the late Mons. Tordrean Loiseau, of Belgium, took all the young ones.

When the prize lists were altered, and the same dog could be shown in several classes, his dogs stayed at home, and gradually the kennel got smaller. It proves by the present entries Mr. Fauntleroy's contention was right, as when he first judged at the Crystal Palace there was something too Dog Shows and Doggy People like thirty in a class - and now what are they? No doubt he was the first to put his foot down on the crooked-legged Spaniels, which he did at Frome, turning out a Birmingham winner. He has strong opinions, and sticks to them, even to refusing to judge the present classification at the Crystal Palace Show, 1899. Some years since he had a pack of 12-in. Beagles, and he acted as Whip to a trencher-fed pack, which showed good sport.
