Seetsu Prince, Cupid, Lovely Spot, and Champion St Anthony's Featherweight are those which have it most perfect.

Hardly any dogs have the right expression. Among the best are L'Ambassadeur, Champion Royal Clyde, Champion Macduff, Champion Ashton More Baronet, Champion Little Tommy, Roscoe, Pandora, Myrtle Blossom, Haeremai Cyclone, Walkley Mac, Champion Casino Novelty, and Fairy Blossom. I consider Fairy Blossom one of the best Blenheims now living. Myrtle Blossom and Nina Advocate are among the best Black-and-tan bitches and have as good heads as anything alive. I also have a high opinion of My Beauty, now a puppy. Billiken Advocate is our most perfect young dog of the same colour. The Usher is our best Ruby.

The best movers are: The Butterfly, Champion Royal Rip, The Mermaid's Nymph, The Mermaid's Cherub, Seetsu Prince, Champion Grande Tete, Vicky, Haeremai Cyclone, and Mr. Gutteridge's Tricolour dog Barnsbury Duke.

The smallest dogs are: Champion Casino Girl, Champion Cara, The Orchid, L'Ambassadeur, Nina Advocate, and Carline, the loveliest Blenheim puppy in England.

In the following dogs the noseless face has reached its utmost limits: Champion The Advocate, Caris, Champion The Cherub, Champion Captain Kettle, Stewart King, Champion Cara, Champion Red Clover, and Champion Casino Girl. Wee Radium, Sergeant Dick, Babel of Haeremai, Ninon Nitouche, Ashton More Shepherdess, and Lady Jean of Cockpen are worthy of special mention. Judging from his photograph and the description given to me of the dog by Miss Todd, Miss

Young's Champion Lord Vivian must have been a most beautiful Tricolour. Any unbiased person, looking at a type like Lord Vivian, must realise how perverted our eyes must have become if we are going to tolerate the distortions that have sprung into favour in the last few years. I think and hope that it is not too late to breed many more Lord Vivians. He was quite a tiny scrap, yet his points were perfect, his expression right, and he showed quality in the highest degree.

For instances of the variety of type liked by different owners, please refer to the illustrations.

It is an extraordinary thing how people who appear to know Toy Spaniels, and who have kept them for years, will give themselves away occasionally by holding up to admiration or giving a first prize to a "rank bad" dog, which either proves that they are really ignorant or that their judgment is biased.

At the last Kennel Club Show the three first dogs in broken colours were Champion The Bondman, Champion Captain Kettle, and Champion The Bandolero. All these dogs I consider too big to be ideal in the show ring, and I should like to find the male counterpart of Carline.

If Carline fulfils her present promise, she will be the embodiment of my ideal of type. Roscoe and L'Ambas-sadeur are, as I have said before, two very ill-used dogs. Both should be champions. L'Ambassadeur especially has been ignored in a way that would have sickened me of showing had I been his owner. He has been reserve at shows where he ought to have taken champion honours with ease. Other dogs have been proportionately lucky, notably Ready Money, Prince Carol, Champion Vida, A. M. Turquoise, and Champion Red Ranee.

Measurements Of Some Well-Known Dogs

Marks

Champion Windfall - Seven rich patches, clearly cut and evenly distributed, and the spot. Coat wavy. Exceedingly long, thick ears.

Champion Cara

Three perfectly even, clearly cut patches, rich red, on each flank, and one in middle of back. Coat wavy. Very long ears.

Champion The Seraph

Well marked with even patches. Head evenly marked, with narrow blaze. Coat straight, but rather mixed.

Champion Little Tommy

Very evenly marked rich red, and spot. Coat strongly wavy. Amazingly long ears and feathering.

Champion The Troubadour

Very evenly marked head, brilliant tan, small black saddle. Very long feathers, and the prettiest possible expression. Coat on back curly.

I was unable to procure the measurements of Champion Macduff (King Charles) and Champion Casino Girl (Tricolour) or Champion Royal Rip (Ruby). I omit the measurements of Champion The Cherub by his owner's special request, but they were very similar to those of Champion The Seraph.

It will be noticed that Champion The Seraph was two inches lower at the shoulders than at the loins. This is a very great defect

Champion Royal Yama Hito was perhaps the best Japanese dog I remember seeing in the English shows. In style, shape, and head points he was more than perfect. I have also published the photograph of Champion Dai Butzu II, an exquisite little dog. Champion Daddy Jap was another lovely dog, and so was the beautiful Prince Komatsu, whose brilliant show career was cut short too soon by distemper. Marquis Ito of Kobe I much admired, and Mrs. Solomon's Dara is a tiny dog and one of the prettiest we now have.

The only red-and-white Japanese dog I ever admired was Champion Tora of Braywick. He had a black nose and eye points, a magnificent coat, and was altogether a first-class dog.

The quality of the Japanese type is altering under the influence of English breeders, and at one of the last big London shows there was not a single Japanese dog worth a challenge certificate. Quality has become very rare indeed, and breeders must try and realise this and apply the remedy before their breeding stock becomes hopelessly inferior. I know how difficult it is to breed them at all on account of distemper, but there is no reason why those breeders who have money enough to be independent of the heavy losses which are inevitable should not breed from dogs of really good type, instead of paying big prices for untypical specimens.

A perfect puppy is shown in the beautiful photograph of Miss Steevens's "White Queen." I wish there were more like this one.
