"Bedlington Terriers: The first Bedlington I showed was a liver-coloured dog, Cresswell Victor by name, at Stockton Show, on July 26th, 1882, when he won third prize (Mr. J. Hedley, judge). Rather a curious incident occurred in connection with this dog on his way to the show. When the train got as far as Wellfield Junction, I found he had eaten his way out of his hamper, and then jumped out of the window of the guard's van, and I had quite given up all hopes of ever recovering him again alive; but judge of my surprise when I saw a railway porter, later in the day, walking on to the show ground, leading the truant dog, just a few minutes previous to his class being judged. After having jumped from the train he had quietly walked along the line to the next station, where he had made friends with some of the railway people, who forwarded him on by the next train. I owned no more Bedlingtons after that until I purchased the blue bitch Lively Nell (21,375) from Mr. J. W. Bleuch, of Berwick-on-Tweed, a winner of many prizes, including firsts, Darlington, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Alexandra Palace, etc., etc. From that time until I gave up showing dogs in 1896, Bedlington Terriers owned by me won four hundred and twenty-seven (427) first prizes, one hundred and fifty-seven (157) special prizes, two hundred (200) second prizes, one hundred and seven (107) third prizes, and eight (8) fourth prizes, or eight hundred and ninety-nine (899) prizes in all. Of course I must give the palm to my old pal Humbledon Blue Boy (23,356, Dick), who several times won the Bedlington Terrier Club Challenge Cup, as well as firsts at all the leading shows. He was sketched for the front page of the Stock-keeper by Mr. R. H. Moore, and I think was one of the best of his breed. Another great favourite of mine, and I think a better dog than even Blue Boy, perhaps the best I ever owned or saw, was Humbledon Blue Blazer (29,954). He was one of the gamest terriers that ever lived, but a little gentleman in every way, and without a break won thirteen firsts and five specials at thirteen shows, including Agricultural Hall, Leeds, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Brighton, Liverpool, and Cruft's, and then came to an untimely end, being run over and cut to pieces on a level crossing of the Hetton Coal Company's line. Humbledon Blue Rum (25,632) and Frolicsome Fanny (25,647), a brace of blues, won a number of prizes between them, including Alexandra Palace, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, etc. Wild Wanney (29,980), too, was a good blue bitch, and amongst other prizes she won first, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, and Darlington. Humbledon Renewal was a liver, and, if I remember rightly, was the first I showed after having sold the whole of my kennel. Then followed Warkworth Queen (34,977), a beautiful blue bitch, who won the championship and Bedlington Terrier Club Challenge Cup at Edinburgh, firsts and specials at Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Rochdale, Bedlington, Dumfries, etc., and Jack Warkworth (34,954), a dark blue, whose portrait appeared in the 'American Book of the Dog.' Jack Warkworth was a very good coated dog, always kept in good form, and was a perfect gentleman in the show ring, when he stood still and showed himself to the best advantage. To his style in the ring many of his victories were due. In all, he won thirty-two firsts, fifteen specials, eight thirds, and a fourth prize, including firsts and special, Birkenhead, Durham, Hexham, Whitby, Carlisle, Bristol, Portsmouth, Dublin, Edinburgh, Darlington, Haarlem, Amsterdam, Dunfermline, etc. Warkworth Plunderer, a big liver dog, won a number of prizes. Then came Warkworth Sovereign, first, Crystal Palace, and Warkworth Wizard (32,374), a beautiful blue dog that I claimed at a small North-country show at Pelton Fell. He won for me some eighteen firsts and six specials, including Berwick, Hexham, Birmingham, Liverpool, etc. Others were Warkworth Winsome, firsts, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Bedlington, Preston, and Exeter; Warkworth Warrior, first, Blyth, etc.; Warkworth Worry, first, Chester-le-Street, Crook, etc.; Warkworth Witch, first and special, Bristol, Darlington, Aberdare, etc.; Warkworth Wrestler, first, Crystal Palace, etc.; Warkworth Witchcraft, first, Stanley, etc.; Warkworth Waif, winner of some fifty prizes, including firsts, Newcastle, Darlington, Shildon, Hexham, Stanley, Rochdale, Birmingham, Dublin, Dundee, and Bedlington; Warkworth Warden, firsts, Newcastle, Jarrow, Liverpool; Warkworth Wanderer (liver), firsts, Newcastle, Hexham, etc.; Warkworth Lady, firsts, Newcastle, Waterhouses, etc.; Humbledon Blue Berry, first, Edinburgh; Humbledon Beggar, firsts, Tudhoe, Shildon, Lanchester, Newcastle, Birkenhead, and Liverpool. Other winners were Humbledon Buster (23,387), Humbledon Bustler, Humbledon Blue Jacket, Humbledon Bruiser (23,357), Jack Monkman (23,359), Lively Sally (25,653)', Humbledon Blue Bottle (25,630), Humbledon Recompense (25,649), Humbledon Blue Bell, Humbledon Blue Stone (25,633), Humbledon Blue Beard (25,629), Precious Penny, Frivolous Flirt, Silent Sort (a sandy and a very game dog), Humbledon Bagger (32,394), Humbledon Blue Stocking, Humbledon Blue Billy (32,388), Humbledon Blue Blister (32,389), Humbledon Blue Borderer (32,391), Humbledon Blue Boss (32,392), Humbledon Blue Baggage (32,408), Dark Jester, Warkworth Wiseacre, Humbledon Blue Peter (23,393), Humbledon Blue Gown (32,410), Humbledon Gipsy Girl, Warkworth Whisper, Annie Burton, Warkworth Princess, Warkworth Wrangler, Warkworth Whistler, Champion Scotch Mist (16,220, who passed the latter part of his life in my kennels), and, last, the blue bitch Humbledon Blue Blouse, perhaps the best bitch I ever owned she won either ten or eleven firsts for me, including Belfast, Bishop Auckland, Backworth, Bellingham, and at Edinburgh three firsts and the championship, under Mr. William Morris, of Morpeth, a gentleman who probably knows more about a Bedlington and the early history of the breed than most people who profess such knowledge.
