INTRODUCTION

WHEN this story was published serially last year, it universally
created favorable comment, both here and in England, as being just
what was needed in the way of a standard of the Airedale Terrier,
and the copies of the paper containing it were soon at a premium
and became quickly out of print. Then a spontaneous demand for
its publication in book form started in and has been growing stead-
ily—a demand that seems to be equally divided between the layman
and the veteran fancier.

The reason is plain, for with the exception of the brochure of an
English contemporary, there is no book devoted to the breed that
has been written by one who so thoroughly knows his subject. We
feel confident that this book will fill a long felt want and with the
many added features be a constant and ready book of reference in
the library of not only Airedale men but all wire-haired terrier
men.

Mr. F. M. Jowett, its author, is a shining light in the English
kennel world, being one of the greatest breeders, most astute judges
and a writer of no mean reputation, making that so rarely seen
combination of a man who knows his subject from A to Z and is
capable of presenting it in such a clear and charming manner that
all he writes is keenly read and the words of wisdom absorbed al-
most unknowingly.

Being born in the Aire Valley in Yorkshire and living to-day in
Shipley, barely three miles from Bingley, sometimes called the
cradle of the breed; and having spent his entire life among dogs,
Mr. Jowett has obtained the knowledge he possesses which makes
him famous as breeder and judge, more especially of Airedale and
Irish Terriers. For over twenty years he has lent distinction to the
judging ring at England’s greatest shows, and has five times had
the honor of adjudicating on Airedale Terriers at Otley, that little

Xi

xi INTRODUCTION

Yorkshire market town where for so many years it was the greatest
ambition of the breeder to win the gold medal offered at that show
for the best of the breed; and he judged Airedales at the English
Kennel Club Show of 1912, at the Palace.

Mr. Jowett was early associated with this dog in its making and
infancy, as his father bred the old English wire-haired black and
tan terriers, the base which, bred to the Otter Hound, produced the
dog we have to-day; and reference to the first illustration of a ter-
rier and comparison with some of our present-day winners will
show under what difficulties breeders have had to work and explain
why so rarely even to-day a really good one is produced.

As a young man being intimately associated with the breed in its
inception and an eye-witness to the struggles to improve the dog,
none can so well realize the reasons for the difficulties encountered
by the novice, and is so fitted to guide his steps along the road to
knowledge, or to warn him of the many pitfalls so easily fallen into.

The thanks of all Airedale Terrier men in America, and particu-
larly all novices, are due to Mr. Jowett for first presenting to them
in written form what he knows about the biggest and best terrier ;
and how badly such a message is needed is indicated by the demand
for every paper or book that has appeared containing any items
about the breed, no matter how poorly written or erroneous in the
facts contained.

The story opens up with the infancy of the breed; ‘‘how those
dead-game sports, Yorkshire working men, set out to fashion a ter-
rier that would be speedier, stronger, bigger and gamer than the
good old black and tan terrier of the neighborhood in the riverside
ratting contests which furnished one of the favorite amusements.”’
Then he clearly explains the good points of the parent breed and
the faults the breeder has to start to breed out. He will introduce
you to the breeders and the dogs from which they evolved the pres-
ent-day terrier up to Champion Cholmondeley Briar, from whom
every good dog of to-day descends; then, describing him in detail,
he does the same with his famous descendants right down to some
of the terriers shown at the New York Show in 1911. Then he
presents the results of his experience in the care of the stud dog and
brood bitch, much of the information contained being new and of
interest to breeders in general, with a most useful chapter on the
Selection and Rearing of Puppies—and right here is the crux of the
whole breeding situation and the explanation of why the English

INTRODUCTION xii

have been so much more successful than we have in rearing good
show specimens. Then follows a chapter on Preparing and Con-
ditioning for the Show Ring, and Mr. Jowett says, ‘‘I hope to
enable the small amateur breeder, who may breed one litter a year,
—and such men are the backbone of the fancy in England,—to take
a shorter road to success than they would, perhaps, have been able
to do if left to their own unaided efforts.’’ This chapter, along with
the one on Points Where Improvement is Still Needed, would make
the book incomparable if they were its sole contents. The last chap-
ters are on the Versatility and the Description of the Ideal Airedale
and Standard of Points, and the addition by the editor of an article
on the Breed and Breeders in America is perhaps superfluous,
except that it may prove interesting to the future novice.

Mr. Jowett has his subject so well in hand, and is so gifted with
the ability to express himself in lucid form, that he has embodied a
volume of information and advice in a very small compass, making
it unnecessary to wade through many pages of superfluous matter
to learn practically all that can be written about this sterling ter-
rier. To make this into a book rather than a brochure, the publisher
has been at great pains to gather together a great deal of material
pertaining to the Airedale, a portion of which has never before been
compiled.

In consequence, a list of the Airedale Terrier Clubs and their
officers, of Airedale Kennels and their addresses, and a complete
compilation of all the Champions of Record, both in England and
America, have been added.

The publisher will appreciate the criticisms of all the breeders
of the Airedale Terrier, and will welcome and be pleased to take
advantage of suggestions tending to improve this work in the second
edition which he hopes soon to be enabled to bring out.

PREFACE

I wou. like to explain here, on the page allotted to me for a Pref-
ace, that my friend, the late Mr. Frank|H. McConnell, induced
me to write some articles on the Airedale Terrier, with the idea that
they might be of some value to American fanciers of the breed.

These articles were published serially, and I was told that they
proved to be so popular that the numbers in which they were pub-
lished were soon sold out, and there was. a great demand for more.

Mr. McConnell again approached me and asked if I would con-
sent to write a book along the same lines as the articles.

This I consented to do, but his sudden death on the steamship
‘‘Baltic,’’? while crossing from England to America,—which was a
terrible shock to his many friends both in England and America, to
whom he had endeared himself by his kindly and genial personality,
—has prevented their publication until Mr. Proctor approached me
and offered to purchase the manuscript and the English and Ameri-
can rights to same.

I must say, first of all, that this book makes no pretence at all to
literary value. I have tried to use the plainest and simplest lan-
guage, so that it should be intelligible even to the veriest novice. |
have written it with an idea of helping young beginners in the
breed, and if, by giving them the benefit of my own practical ex-
perience, I can help them to take a shorter road to success than
they would have been able to take by their own unaided endeavors,
then I shall feel pleased and more than satisfied.

I also hope that I may be able to remind older fanciers of some-
thing that they may, perhaps, have forgotten or overlooked.

I venture to say that the chapters on How to Breed Winners, The
Care of the Brood Bitch, The Selection and Rearing of Puppies, and
How to Train and Condition for the Show Ring, will be found to be
thoroughly practical, as they are the result of nearly thirty years’
experience, and if they are carefully studied they are bound to do a
young fancier good.

xvi - PREFACE

With much diffidence I may say that I am, perhaps, peculiarly
qualified to write on the Airedale Terrier, as I was born and have
lived all my life in Airedale, where the Airedale Terrier originated,
and from which place it derived its name. I knew the first men who
interested themselves in the breed, and remember the first dogs that
were exhibited as Airedale Terriers. Coming from a family that
have been associated with Hounds and Terriers for many genera-
tions, my own first show dogs were naturally these local Airedale
Terriers, and I owned some good winners in the early eighties; and
although for many years I kept nothing but Irish Terriers in my
kennel,—of which breed I have bred sixteen Champions, which is
easily a world’s record,—yet I have always kept in close touch with
Airedale Terriers, and may be said to have grown with the breed,
and have continually judged them at the best shows, both in Eng-
land and abroad, for twenty years.

THE AIREDALE TERRIER

CHAPTER I

ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER

Tne Airedale Terrier was origi-
nally created by working men
resident in Airedale, which is a
manufacturing district in the
West Riding of Yorkshire, Eng-
land, and more particularly in
that portion of Airedale which
lies between Skipton and Brad-
ford, a stretch of country of
about twenty miles, which em-
braces the townships of Cononley,
Silsden, Keighley, Bingley and
Shipley. :

This is one of the greatest sporting districts in a county that has
always prided itself on its sportsmen, and it may perhaps help to
illustrate the sport-loving nature of the men who made this famous
Terrier,—which on its intrinsic merits as an all-round sporting
Terrier, is now known and loved by sportsmen in all parts of the
world,—if I attempt to give a rough outline of the sports and pas-
times these men indulged in on the idle Saturday afternoons and
summer evenings when their work was done.

Thirty years ago—in my youth—when the local trade was good
and money plentiful, one could take one’s choice any fine Saturday
afternoon between seeing a whippet race for anything up to £50 a
side; a knur and spell match—a most popular game in Yorkshire in
those days, matches being played for as much as £100 a side; a
cricket match between the rival townships, when the local rivalry
was at blood heat; a main of gamecocks fighting; or a waterside
hunt down the banks of the river Aire after water rats.

Many a rare day’s sport have I had at this waterside hunting
when I was a youth, and possibly to those who have never had an

vo

1 THE COMPLETE STORY

opportunity of seeing the Airedale Terrier at work in his native
dale, a description of one of the hunts may perhaps be of interest.

The usual arrangement was to hunt a portion of the river Aire
—from which the dale takes its name—of from three to six miles,
which is about the distance from one township to another.

Matches would be made for stakes of anything from £1 to £20
or £25 a side, sometimes for even higher stakes. A ‘‘mark’’ would
count two points and a ‘‘kill’’ one point, the terrier making the
most points at the finish being declared the winner. <A referee was
appointed whose decisions were final.

When a big match was on, quite a large crowd of men could be
seen following the competing dogs down the riverside, every point
being watched with the keenest interest. It was quite as interest.
ing as Otter Hunting, to which, indeed, it bears a certain resem
blance.

The dogs would assiduously hunt both banks of the river—whieh
in this district varies from about twenty to forty yards in width—
swimming from one bank to another as directed by their owners.

When one of the dogs made a ‘‘mark,’’ both dogs were told to
“stand back’’ and wait until a ferret was put into the hole or
tree root to bolt the water rat. When the rat bolted, he usually
made straight for the water, with the dogs in full chase.

From the first dive the water rat would probably swim thirty
or forty yards under water, and it was great fun to see the two
competing dogs swimming about, with their heads as far out of the
water as possible, watching all round to see where the rat was com:
ing up again.

When the water rat was viewed, each owner would shout to his
dog and point to where the rat had been seen, and then there was
a swimming race between the two dogs as to which could get up
to the rat first.

The wily rat, as danger approached, dived under water again, to
reappear some thirty or forty yards away, in some other direction,
when the dogs would swim after him again. This was continued,
time after time, until the rat gradually became exhausted, when its
dives grew shorter and shorter, with the result that one of the dogs
would finish with a ‘‘kill,’’ often judging it so neatly that he would
dive clean under water for the rat and bring it up in his mouth.

As the dogs often made themselves very dirty with scratching
and tearing the earth from the rat holes on the river bank when

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 5

” if was a common practice at that time to cut

they made a ‘‘mark,
a square piece of turf from a field and throw it into the river, and
when it had sunk to the bottom the dogs were trained to dive in
and fetch it out again, so that they would wash themselves clean
before being taken home. I have seen many dogs do this half a
dozen times in succession.

These dogs were the constant companions of their masters and
their intelligence was developed by living with them in their houses,
where they were treated like one of the family. During the day,
when the men were at work, the dog would be left at home to pro-
tect the wife and family. When the day’s work was done, the
master would put a ferret in his pocket and take a walk up the river-
side, and as hares, rabbits, pheasants, partridges, and grouse were
all plentiful in the district, as indeed they are at the present day,
lam afraid they did not always confine themselves strictly to water-
side hunting, but would often try to best the gamekeepers, and
return home with something in their capacious pockets that would
be useful for ‘‘the pot.’’

Though much too big to go to ground, these dogs would tackle and
hold either an Otter or a Badger, were easily broken to gun, would
beat game from a rough cover like a field spaniel, were good rab-
biters and would retrieve either fur or feather from either land or
water.

Much has been written about the origin of the breed that I person-
ally know to be quite incorrect, and in order to obtain really au-
thentic information on this important historical point, I recently
interviewed several old local sportsmen, who were great waterside
hunters when I was a boy.

These men kept dogs for waterside hunting long before they were
shown even as ‘‘ Waterside Terriers’’; in fact, though this is mere
prejudice, they rather despise the present-day Airedales, as they
say they are not as game as they were in the old days. But they
were all generally agreed on one point, and that was that the Aire-
dale Terrier was first created by a series of crosses between the Otter
Hound and the rough-haired black and tan Old Knglish Terrier,
and that the cross was usually made by an Old English Terrier dog
to an Otter Hound bitch. This entirely confirms what I have always
heard before, and I believe it to be correct.

In confirmation of this, it is a fact that over forty years ago a
pack of Otter Hounds were kept for many years at Bingley, which

CH. CHOLMONDELEY BRIAR

ATREDALE JERRY

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER fi

is in the heart of Airedale; and it is also a fact, that about the same
period rough wire-haired black and tan Terriers, commonly called
Old English Terriers, were very numerous in the district.

My father kept these Old English Terriers and I remember them
very well. In appearance they were somewhat similar to the mod-
ern Welsh Terrier, but much larger, weighing about 25 to 30
pounds. Judged by modern show standards, they would be consid-
ered coarse and cloddy all through. They were strong in skull, with
deep, powerful jaws, plenty of bone and substance all through, with
a good close, hard wiry coat, black on back and tan on head and
legs, their general appearance giving one the impression of a game,
sturdy, hardy Terrier.

These dogs were thorough vermin killers, good water dogs, and
would fight till they were dead; and I must say that I have often
thought it was a great pity that such a fine Old English Sporting
Terrier should have been neglected, as it has been, and almost
allowed to die out, though the modern Welsh Terrier is said to be
descended from it.

These Old English Terriers were originally used for waterside
hunting, but they were somewhat deficient in nose and had not
always the power necessary to cross the river at all points, as the
river Aire runs very strongly in places.

So much money could be won in matches by a good waterside
dog, that the waterside hunters cast about to find a dog with more
scent and swimming power than the Old English Terrier, and a
dog at the same time that must take naturally to water and to hunt-
ing. The Otter Hound was on the spot, and appeared to fulfil these
requirements, and frequent crosses between the two were undoubt-
edly resorted to. The dogs resulting from the first cross were bred
together again and again, as occasion required, with frequent
crosses back to the Otter Hound or the Old English Terrier, until
they gradually developed a new type of Terrier altogether, viz., a
dog with the strength of scent, swimming power and hunting quali-
ties of the Otter Hound, combined with the vermin-killing instinct
and gameness of the Old English Terrier. I think that it is these
very qualities which have made the Airedale Terrier such a great
favorite with sportsmen in all parts of the world at the present
day.

Classes were given for these dogs, who were then described as
‘‘Waterside Terriers,’’ at a few local shows in the district, much in

8 THE COMPLETE STORY

the same way that Border Terriers are now shown on the borders of
England and Seotland and in the English Lake District.

A few fanciers interested in the breed from a working point of
view held a meeting at Bingley in 1879, when it was decided that in
future these dogs should be called Airedale Terriers, as the breed
had been created in Airedale. Classes were provided for them
under this name for the first time at the Airedale Agricultural Show
at Bingley, in August, 1879.

Soon afterwards classes were provided for them at Skipton,
Bradford, Keighley and Otley; the last named show, which is the
oldest Agricultural Show in England and held its one hundred and
tenth consecutive show this year, always catered splendidly for the
breed, and the gold medal given at this show for the best Airedale
Terrier dog or bitch was considered for many years to be the blue
ribbon of the breed and drew exhibitors from all parts of Great
Britain to compete for it.

The first prominent show Airedales that I remember were Cham-
pion Bruce, Champion Wharfedale Rush, Mr. Horsfall’s Trimmer,
and Carr’s Crack, owned by Mr. Tom Carr of Keighley. These
were all big, strong dogs, and showed distinct traces of their Otter
Hound ancestry, particularly in ears, coat and bone.

Mr. Tatham of Rochdale had a very strong kennel of the breed
for several years, and was a most successful exhibitor, his best dog
perhaps being Champion Newbould Test. His entire kennel passed
into the possession of Mr. H. M. Bryans, whose dogs, owning the
preface of ‘‘Cholmondeley,’’ were afterwards destined to make his-
tory in the breed; and to this gentleman must be given the credit
of doing great service to the breed, as he was always prepared to
give a good price for a good dog and bred a lot of good ones himself.

Mr. Alexander Walker of Bradford was also a most successful
exhibitor for many years in the early days of the breed, his biteh
Champion Vixen III being quite the best of her day, with a coat
like wire, and she is still considered by many old Airedale men to be
one of the best bitches ever shown.

Another Bradford man, Mr. E. Bairstow, whose dogs owned the
prefix of ‘‘Rustic,’’? was also a leading breeder and exhibitor for
many years; his best dogs, I think, were Rustic Twig, Rustie Lad
and Champion Rustic Kitty.

Mr. Maude Barret of Otley was the backbone of the breed in
Yorkshire for many years, until his sudden death when in the very

CH. MASTER BRIAR

10 THE COMPLETE STORY

prime of life. He was a true sportsman and one of nature’s gentle-
men, and his death was not only a great loss to the breed, but also
a terrible shock to his wide circle of friends. He was on the Com-
mittee of the Otley Show and was largely instrumental in providing
the splendid classification that was given for Airedales in his native
town for many years, which was the reason of his show being recog-
nized generally, at one time, as being the best and most representa-
tive show of Airedales in England.

He had one of the strongest kennels of his day, his best dogs,
perhaps, being Champion Tommy Tucker and Champion Otley
Chevin.

Mr. H. M. Bryans at this period began to buy largely, the cream
of his purchases being Champion Cholmondeley Briar, from whom,
as I will show presently, nearly all the best show Airedales of the
present day are directly descended.

This dog was the undisputed Champion of the breed for many
years, and I think I am correct in saying that he was only beaten
twice, and then only when he had passed his prime. The first time
was at Bingley, when he was beaten by Mr. Maude Barret’s Cham-
pion Tommy Tucker. This was a most unpopular decision with the
crowd at the ringside, and I must say that I know no crowd of spec-
tators who are keener or more outspoken critics than the Bingley
ringsiders were in the old days, when nearly every man present
knew all the points of the breed. The second time he was beaten
was at Manchester by Mr. Holland Buckley’s Champion Clonmel
Marvel, a verdict that was generally endorsed, as youth must be
served and the old dog had seen his best day.

Champion Cholmondeley Briar was bred at Queensbury near
Bradford, and he was first exhibited at some small local show under
the name of Red Robin. He was quickly spotted by the astute
Mr. Sam Wilson, who, being always on the lookout for a ‘‘lucky
packet,’’ as he called them, soon became his fortunate owner.

I well remember going to his house one Sunday morning to see a
dog that he was going to show for me at the Crystal Palace, when
he told me that he had just bought a young Airedale that was a
world beater. I had heard Master Sam talk about ‘‘world beaters’’
before, and was somewhat sceptical, but when he brought him out
I fell in love with him on the spot, and as he afterwards proved to
be one of the pillars of the Stud Book, I will endeavor to describe
him as I saw him that day.

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 11

He was then about eleven months old, and not quite fully fur-
nished, but was a remarkably well developed dog for his age. He
had a beautiful long, clean, typical head, with great power in front
of the eyes, nice small ears, lovely neck, and clean, well placed
shoulders, with good short, firm back and well set, gaily carried
tail. His bone and legs and feet were extraordinary, and as round
and firm as an English Foxhound, and being well covered with hair,
gave him an appearance of immense strength. In color he was a
dense black on his back and a rich golden tan on his legs and quar-
ters, and his coat was both straight and hard. He had any amount
of substance, yet.he was all Terrier, with nothing houndy or coarse
about him. He was quite up to the standard weight, and when he
was fully furnished I should say he was a little over.

The photograph of Ch. Cholmondeley Briar which is published
in this book was taken when he was past his prime, and really gives
very little idea of what he was like, but it is the only one I have
ever seen of him.

Champion Cholmondeley Briar will always be remembered. by
Airedale Terrier breeders, as his name appears in nearly every first-
class pedigree of the present day, if it is only traced far enough
back, and he stamped his own grand type and character upon his
breed in a most remarkable manner.

His sire was a dog named Airedale Jerry, whom I remember well;
he was a dog who did a lot of winning in the north of England,
but was never quite up to Championship form. He was a big,
strong-boned dog with a long, typical head and a real hard, .wiry
coat, but was overdone in ears. He was owned by Mr. John G.
Horrocks, who, although he does not exhibit much now, is still one
of the best and most popular judges of the breed. The sire of
Airedale Jerry was a dog named Rattler, who won many prizes, and
his dam, Bess, was by Champion Brush, who was by Champion
Bruce, so that his pedigree goes back to the very first dogs that
were exhibited.

The dam of Champion Cholmondeley Briar was a bitch named
Luce, who was afterwards purchased by Mr. Bryans and re-named
Cholmondeley Luce, and appears under this name in many pedi-
grees. I never saw her myself, but people who knew her well have
told me that she was a good-headed bitch, very terrier-like in char-
acter, with small ears and a good coat, but on the small side. ; Jt is
impossible to follow out the pedigrees of all the dogs sired by Cham-

12 THE COMPLETE STORY

pion Cholmondeley Briar, so I will take the progeny of only one of
his sons—viz., Briar Test—as a typical example.

Briar Test was by Champion Cholmondeley Briar ex Rosamund
by Mr. Tatham’s Champion Newbould Test. He proved to be a
most successful stud dog, and was‘a winner in good company. He
inherited his sire’s wonderful bone, legs and feet, and had a
straight, hard dense coat, with black saddle and rich tan, and was
a sturdy, well built Terrier all through, just lacking quality in head,
which always kept him back in the keenest competition.

Briar Test, mated to Betty by Mr. Maude Barret’s A. P. Bruce,
—a lovely quality terrier with beautiful coat and color,—sired. in
his turn Champion Master Briar, one of the best-headed Airedales
ever bred. -He was a dog brimful of true Airedale type and char-
acter, and was essentially a ‘‘laster,’’ as his head was as clean as a
puppy when I last saw him, when he was eight years old. He did an
immense amount of good to the breed, as he stamped his own beauti-
ful type and lasting qualities on his progeny.

Champion Master Briar, in his turn, sired Messrs. Mills and
~*Buckley’s Champion Clonmel Monarch, who will always remain in
my memory as one of the best I have seen. I judged him at Otley
when he was a puppy about eleven months qld, and gave him
all I could, including the coveted gold medal for the best Airedale
in the show, and I don’t think he was ever beaten in England after-
wards. He was a dog well up to the standard weight, yet full of
quality and Terrier character, with a long typical head, lovely
shoulders, great bone, nice level top, with great style and a good
mover. He was a blue grizzle in color, which is not the color I like
best, as I prefer the old-fashioned black saddle with the rich golden
tan; but a good Terrier, like a good horse, is never a bad color, and
a blue grizzle is, after all, a good Airedale color, though the coat is
not usually as straight or as good in texture as the black and tan.
Although only at stud in England for a very short period, Cham-
pion Clonmel Monarch left a lot of good stock behind him, as he
was sire of Champion Tone Regent, Ch. Broadlands Royal Descen-
dant, Ch. Clonmel Bed Rock, and a lot of bitches who produced
good ones afterwards, and it was a distinct loss to the breed in
England when he was sold to go to America, though he has done
much good for the breed over there.

To continue the male line, Champion Clonmel Monarch sired
Clonmel Chilperic, who, when mated to Clonmel Loval (a grand-

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 13

daughter of Champion Master Briar), sired Champion Master
Royal, a very high quality Terrier who went to America. Cham-
pion Master Royal, in his turn, when mated to Madame Briar (an-
other daughter of Ch. Master Briar), sired Champion Midland
Royal, who is the sire of Rockley Vesta, the dam of Champion
Rockley Oorang, who is so well known both as a show dog and a
stud dog at the present time.

Another son of Champion Master Briar who proved a most suc-
cessful stud dog, and from whom many of the present-day Cham-
pions trace their descent, was a most beautiful Terrier named
Crompton Marvel. He was a Terrier that I always thought was
very unlucky never to become a full Champion, as he was full of
quality, with beautiful coat and color. He was sire to Champion
Freeman Terror, who is now in America, but he will be remembered
chiefly by Airedale breeders as being the sire (when mated to Abbey
Prineess by Ch. Clonmel Monarch) of the great show and stud dog

Champions and first-class show dogs than any Airedale Terrier

Champion Crompton Oorang was first brought out under me at
Otley, when he was about eight months old, and although he was
somewhat small for his age, he was such a beautiful type and so full

of Airedale character that I put him first in all the Junior Classes.
For some time after this show, it appears that he hardly grew at
all, and his owners, thinking that he would never grow big enough,
sold him for a sum that I have not the least doubt he has earned at
stud in a month many times since for his lucky owner, Mr. W.
Proudlove. ,

Champion Crompton Oorang in his turn (when mated to Redcap
Musie by Ch. Master Briar) sired Champion Crompton Performer,
a rare good Terrier, who is grandsire to Champion Illuminator, who
has recently gone over to America.

Champion Crompton Oorang is also the sire of the English and
American Champion, Danny Graig Commander, known in America
as Prince of York. He is also the sire of Champion Rockley Oorang,
whose pedigree has already been traced on his dam’s side.

To continue this line again on the male side, Champion Rockley
Oorang is the sire of Champion King Oorang and (mated to Hor-
field Thistle by Ch. Rock King by Ch. Master Briar) he is also the
sire of the latest English Champion, Flornell Oorang, thus showing
the unbroken descent of the best show dogs of the present day from
the first Champions of the breed.

RECENT HISTORY

ComING to what we may term
the intermediate period of the
breed, the most prominent
breeders and exhibitors that
I remember—though doubt-
less I have overlooked many
that have a right to be men-
tioned here—in the North of
England were Mr. J. R.
Cooper, who owned Cham-
pion Rock King, Champion
Rock Salt and Champion
Rock Princess; the latter, a
very beautiful bitch, was purchased by Mr. Foxhall Keene, but died
on her way to America. Mr. A. E. Jennings was also a very suc-
cessful exhibitor, and owned two leaders of the breed in Champion
Master Briar, whose name occurs in nearly every first-class pedi-
gree, and Champion Dumbarton Lass, a very beautiful bitch, who
was purchased by Mr. Jos. A. Laurin of Montreal, and was, I
believe, a big winner in America.

When Mr. Jennings’ kennel was sold, the majority of his dogs
were purchased by Mr. Stuart Noble, who had a meteoric career for
a short time. Mr. John G. Horrocks, the Abbott Bros., and the
Lever Bros. were all keen breeders and exhibitors, and the prefix
of ‘‘Crompton’’ owned by the latter firm will be found in the pedi-
grees of the best Airedales of the present day. Mr. W. H. Chantler
was also a keen breeder, and his dogs, with their prefix of ‘‘ Prim-
rose,’’ are still well in front at the present day.

Mr. Theo. Kershaw of Bradford always had some good ones, and
has handled some of the best of the breed at different times, amongst
them being Champion Dumbarton Sceptre, who will always live in

my memory as being one of the best and most typical Airedale
Terrier bitches that I have seen. She was purchased by Mr. Theo.
Offerman of New York, and I have no doubt many American fan-
ciers will remember her.

Mr. Emil Sachse of Shipley was also a most successful breeder
and exhibitor at this period. Any fanciers who have any of his
**Studholme’’ blood in their kennels may be sure that they come
from a very good and most carefully bred strain. So, likewise, was
Mr. Herbert Croft of Bradford, whose dogs, with the prefix of
‘‘Barkerend,’’ were generally to the front. These were among the
keenest of the Yorkshire exhibitors.

In the Midlands, also, the breed became very popular, Mr. L. H.
Baker and Mr. E. Blunt being enthusiastic supporters of the breed.
The latter gentleman was for several years Hon. See. to the Aire-
dale Terrier Club, and owned some very good Terriers; the best of
his early ones, perhaps, were Lord Belper and Princess Nut, who
both went to America.

Although Yorkshiremen must be given the credit of creating
the Airedale Terrier, sportsmen in other parts of the country, and
particularly in the South and West of England, were quick to notice
its value and possibilities.

One of the first in the South of England to take up the breed
was Mr. Holland Buckley, whose kennel prefix of ‘‘Clonmel’’ is
now known wherever Airedales are kept and shown; and it is only
fair to state that this gentleman, along with his partner, Mr. E.
Royston Mills, has probably done more to foster and encourage the
breed than any other breeder of the present day. Mr. Marshall Lee
was the owner of that beautiful bitch Champion Walton Victory ;
Mr. Hunter Johnstone will always be remembered by Airedale
Terrier fanciers as the owner of Briarwood, the best ten months
old puppy I ever saw—but, alas! he grew too coarse with age,
though he proved an excellent stud dog; Mr. Clarkson was the
owner of Champion Broadlands Bashful and Champion Broadlands
Roval Descendant; Mr. Baines Condy has owned some good ones in
his time, including Ch. Huckleberry Lass; Mr. E. R. L. Hoskins
was the owner of Briarcan Sultan and Champion Legrams Prin-
cess, to mention only two of the many good ones that he owned;
and Mr. G. H. Elder of Taunton’s dogs with the prefix of ‘‘Tone’’
were always in front. His Champion Tone Masterpiece stands out
in my memory as a very beautiful Terrier, but just on the small side.

BRIARWOOD

CROMPTON MARVEL

He was purchased by Mr. Theo. Offerman of New York, and proved
to be a ‘‘laster’’ like his father, Champion Master Briar, as he was
as good as ever when I judged him at Boston, Mass., in 1905. These
gentlemen, and others whose names I cannot remember now, all
rendered yeoman service to the breed, and have helped to lay a firm
foundation for present-day breeders.

Many Clubs were formed for the encouragement and advance-
ment of the breed, the chief of these being The Airedale Terrier
Club, the North of England Airedale Terrier Club, the Midland
Airedale Terrier Club, and the London and South of England
Airedale Terrier Club.

During the lifetime of Maude Barret the Otley Show was gener-
ally recognized as being the best show of Airedale Terriers in Eng-
land, as they always gave a splendid classification; and being held
in the first week in May, it was the first of the outdoor summer
shows, and if a puppy could win at Otley it was usually a very
good start for the rest of the summer shows. Since Mr. Maude
Barret’s death, the classification has fallen off, and the best show
of Airedales at the present day—although as a Yorkshireman I am
naturally loath to admit it—is generally recognized as being the
Annual Club Show of the South of England Airedale Terrier Club,
which is held in connection with the Great Joint Terrier Show at
the Botanical Gardens, London.

It is a well known axiom amongst dog exhibitors that nothing
creates a good entry like a good classification, and in Mr. Holland
Buckley, the Hon. Secretary of the Club and Manager of the Show,
the Club have a past master in the art of show management, with
the result that a huge classification is always given, which attracts
entries from all parts of the country. When I had the honor of
judging this Show, last year, there were twenty-five classes given
for Airedale Terriers, with twenty special prizes, mostly cash and
silver cups, and two Championships on offer, one for each sex.

The Show is held in the early part of June, in the height of the
London season, at a time of the year when London is full of visitors ;
and the Botanical’ Gardens, with their well kept, velvety lawns,
beautiful flower beds, and shady trees, make an ideal place for an
outdoor summer show. This beautiful show ground, together with
the gaily dressed, fashionable crowd of exhibitors and spectators,
appears to be an increasing attraction, not only to British exhibi-
tors, who go up for the Show and a few days’ holiday in town, but

22 THE COMPLETE STORY

for doggy people from all parts of the world, Americans being
usually very well represented.

The Yorkshire working men, who originally bred and kept the
Airedale Terrier solely for its working qualities and gameness, little
dreamt, at the time, that they were creating a Terrier that would
become, within their own lifetime, one of the most popular Terriers
in the world, and which would command prices as high as, if not
higher than, any other breed of Terrier. £400 is said to have been
given for one Airedale that went to America last year, and £300
for another, and I could name over twenty Airedale Terriers that
changed hands at prices between £100 and £200 within the last
few years.

It is the working qualities of the Airedale that have made it so
popular in all parts of the world; and if these qualities are only
maintained, I feel sure there is an even brighter future for the
breed, which has been especially fortunate in having an enthusi-
astic body of fanciers behind it, who have pushed it and boomed it
at every possible opportunity.

Thinking over the Airedales that I have known for the last thirty
years, I fancy there may have been two or three dogs of outstand-
ing merit in the past that would perhaps bear comparison with the
dogs of the present day; but in the old days these stood clean away
from all the rest, and it was easy judging. At the present day it
is the exception to see a really bad one at a good show, and classes
naturally take a great deal more judging, and require much keener
and intelligent criticism, when there may be five or six Champions,
all near together, in one class, than they did in the old days, when
there were just one or two good ones that stood out by themselves.

The first Airedale Terriers that were exhibited showed distinct
traces of their Otter Hound ancestry, and were a great contrast to
the best show dogs of the present day, who combine the bone,
strength and substance of the Otter Hound with the smart, clean-
eut outline and quality of a high-class Terrier; and when we take
into consideration the fact that it is only just over thirty years since
the first classes were provided for Airedale Terriers at Bingley, the
greatest possible credit must be given to Airedale Terrier breeders
for producing such a beautiful Terrier in such a comparatively
short time.

CHAPTER III

HOW TO BREED WINNERS

Ir is an easy matter for a rich man
to write out a cheque and buy the
very best dogs of any breed, but un-
fortunately all fanciers are not in that
happy position, and if they want to
possess good ones they must breed
them.

A real fancier, whether he be a rich
man or a poor man, is a breeder at
heart, and loves his dog for itself
alone, and not for its monetary value.
He derives a lot of real pleasure from
devoting his leisure moments to the study and breeding of his favor-
ite breed of dog; and if he buys the right kind of breeding stock
to begin with, it can be made a very profitable hobby as well. There
are hundreds of people in England who make a good living by
breeding high-class show dogs, and I know plenty of good business
men who pay their rent and rates and get a good summer holiday
out of breeding show dogs. I must say that I know no hobby from
which a business man can get more pleasure, if he is built that way,
as it takes him out into the fresh air, and causes him to walk miles
with his dogs that he would never do otherwise.

If he is a true fancier, and has got the right kind of grit in him,
although his efforts are not crowned with success all at once, he will
gamely struggle on, learning something from every failure, and
his triumph is all the greater when at last he has the glory of breed-
ing a Champion, and all the best men in the fancy are bidding
against one another to get possession of it.

The first thing I would recommend the budding Airedale Terrier
fancier to do, is to get the ideal Airedale Terrier firmly fixed in his
mind’s eye, by taking every possible opportunity of going to the best

shows and seeing the best show dogs of the day. In my younger days
I spent my holidays in going to the best shows in Great Britain and
Ireland, and to the personal knowledge I acquired of all the best
show dogs of those days, I feel certain that I owe whatever success
I have since had as a breeder.

I don’t suppose there ever was a really perfect dog of any breed,
—at all events, it has never been my good fortune to see one,—but
by comparing the best points in the best dogs, the novice will gradu-
ally get a good idea of what a really perfect Airedale Terrier should
be like.

I would also strongly recommend the novice to see the dogs judged
in the show ring, as it is impossible to get a correct idea of what
a dog is really like by seeing him on the show bench only. <A dog
with a good head and ears and a long, slack body and weak hind
quarters often looks better on the show bench than a dog who may
not be quite so good in head, but who smothers the other dog in
body properties.

Having got the ideal Airedale Terrier firmly fixed in his mind’s
eye, the next step for the intending breeder is the selection of the
brood bitch. This is a most important thing, and is worthy of the
most careful consideration, as one good bitch, properly mated, may
keep a breeder in front for years. It is quality, not quantity, that
is wanted in breeding show dogs. Though very few people seem
to realize it, a good brood bitch, if she happens to be mated right,
can earn more money than a good stud dog. <A bitch that produces
first-class show dogs, year after year, is a little gold-mine to her
owner, and I know several bitches whose progeny have realized
hundreds of pounds, besides keeping their fortunate owners in the
front rank of exhibitors for years.

A bitch bred from a family that has consistently produced first-
class show dogs, from one generation to another, is invaluable. The
best are by far the cheapest in the end. It is no use wasting time
‘“trying to breed rats from mice,’’ as we say in Yorkshire—life is
too short.

A good brood bitch need not necessarily be a good show bitch; in
fact, I think more good winners have been bred from the sisters to
Champion bitches, than from Champions themselves. There are
two things I consider absolutely essential to a brood bitch, and they
are first-class breeding and a sound, healthy constitution.

It is impossible to overrate the importance of first-class breeding.

28 THE COMPLETE STORY

By this I mean a pedigree of at least three generations on both
sides, every individual member of which was either a first-class show
specimen, a first-class stud dog, or a first-class brood bitch. If they
can be procured with these characteristics for a longer period, so
much the better. Dogs and bitches bred from such a family possess
the power to reproduce themselves in a very marked degree.

I would certainly prefer to breed from a moderate-looking bitch
bred from a first-class family, if she had no really bad faults, than
I would from a common-bred bitch, no matter how good-looking she
was herself.

A sound, healthy constitution is also a most important thing in a
brood bitch. A strong, healthy bitch is far likelier to produce win-
ners than a bitch—no matter what show qualifications she may
possess—that is unhealthy, and a bad doer, and has to be condi-
tioned to get her into show form. Puppies bred from the former
are not half the trouble to rear, as she will give them plenty of
good, wholesome milk; they will thrive on it, and will eat any kind
of plain, wholesome food afterwards. The latter seldom has much
milk, and what milk she has is generally unwholesome, and her
puppies lack vitality, are generally unhealthy and seldom grow
into anything good.

Sound, healthy dogs are no trouble either to rear or to get ready
to show, as they will eat practically anything, and any sportsman
knows which is the best kind for work.. A good doer comes home
after a hard day’s work and will eat a hearty meal, and go off to
sleep, and be merry and bright next morning, and ready for another
day’s sport. A bad doer will turn away from good, wholesome food,
and is little use for work the next day.

It is the same with show dogs. A good-constitutioned dog can
stand travelling about from show to show, as it will eat and sleep
Whenever it gets a chance; but bad doers, who have had to be
drugged to get them into show condition, cannot stand the strain,
and are soon out of condition again.

A bitch selected for breeding should be well balanced all over,
and if she has no really excellent qualities, should have no really
bad faults. The points that I consider essential are a nice, well-
balanced head, small ears, good bone and legs and feet, and a sym-
metrical body. A good coat is not really an essential if the bitch
has an exceptionally long head and is bred from a long-headed
family, as this can be corrected by proper mating. The coat I like

best, though, for an Airedale brood bitch is a short, hard, wiry coat
that is inclined to be smooth on the sides and legs, and does not show
much broken hair on the foreface, but is as hard as wire down the
back. These breed the best coats, and a good-bred one, with a long
head, of this type, is invaluable to a breeder.

Another thing I would strongly impress upon the young fancier
is, never to breed from either a dog or a bitch possessed of either
a light eye, a big houndy ear, or an undershot mouth. If any one
of these things once gets bred into a strain, one never knows where
it may crop up again and spoil a dog that otherwise would be a
good show dog.

In England a good Airedale Terrier brood bitch, of first-class
breeding, with no really bad faults, can usually be bought for £10
to £20, according to quality. The best are by far the cheapest. I
don’t know the prices in America.

It is a golden rule to breed from the best, and I am a great be-
liever in it. I should not advise any one, going in for breeding show
dogs, to go in for a cheap bitch. It is false economy. If they
cannot afford to buy a good brood bitch, the next best thing is to
buy a puppy bred from a first-class family and rear it themselves.

A puppy at six or eight weeks old can usually be bought for the
stud fee of the sire. At least that is a generally recognized rule in
England. If it comes from a very successful brood bitch, it may be
a bit more; but even then, it is a much better investment than an
inferior brood bitch. Being bred from a first-class family, it will
always sell for at least what it has cost when it is reared; while, on
the other hand, there is the possible chance of its turning out a
first-class show dog, as it is impossible to tell with certainty, when
they are six weeks or two months old, which puppies will eventually
turn out the best. In fact, it is one of the pleasures of breeding to
see how the different puppies in the same litter keep passing each
other at different stages; the despised one at six weeks old some-
times turns out the best in the whole litter in the end.

Some breeders don’t care to sell puppies at this age, as they are
afraid of parting with the best; but unless they have ample facili-
ties for rearing them all, I think it pays them best in the end. Ifa
breeder sells twenty or thirty puppies in a year at three or four
pounds each (I am speaking of English prices now), and one even-
tually turns out a flier, he can always afford to buy it back again
if he wants it; and even if the owner won’t sell it then, and it turns

32 THE COMPLETE STORY

out to be a Champion, he has always got the honor and personal
satisfaction of having bred it, and it is the best advertisement that
the kennel could have. I have sold two puppies at six weeks old
that eventually qualified as Champions, in addition to many that
turned out first-class show dogs, and I always looked upon it as the
best advertisement my breeding stock could have.

Having selected the brood bitech—and I don’t advise the breeder
to go in for more than two or three at most, and these should be of
different strains if possible—the next step for the intending breeder
is the selection of the Stud Dog. When a breeder owns a good bitch,
he has all the best dogs in the country to select from when he wants
to mate her. Upon the wisdom of his choice will depend to a great
extent the future success of the kennel.

Some breeders always select their stud dogs from big prize-win-
ners only. They think that if a dog is a good one himself, he must
get good puppies, but a show bench record is no criterion of the
value of a dog at stud. Breeding to the best is a golden rule, if the
breeder is influenced not by the individual dog alone, but by the
character of his family also.

The average breeder selects a dog that is strong in points where
his bitch is weak. For example, if his bitch has a short head, he
selects a long-headed dog for her. If she has big, light eyes, he
selects a dog for her with particularly small dark eyes. If she has
a light-colored soft coat, he selects a wire-coated and good-colored
dog for her. If she is small, weedy and light in bone, he selects a
big, strong-boned dog for her, and so on. If he studies individual
excellence only, the very probable result will be that his puppies
will never be any better than their parents, and indeed may possibly
reproduce the faults of both the sire and dam, rather than the good
points of either.

The experienced and successful breeder goes deeper into the mat-
ter. Before mating his bitch with the long-headed dog that she
needs, he finds out whether the sire and dam of the dog he had
selected were long-headed dogs, and whether they came from a fam-
ily specially noted for their long heads. If he finds on inquiry that
the dog is not bred from a long-headed family, he looks upon his
long head as being an accident, and knows that he is not likely to
get the point that he wants for his bitch. He does not use this dog,
but selects a dog that is not only a long-headed dog himself, but is
bred from a family of long-headed dogs. The same with the bitch

with the big light eyes. The dog that he had selected for her in the
first instance proves on inquiry to have come from a bitch with
light eyes, or with light-eyed dogs in her pedigree. He does not use
this dog, of course, but selects one that has not only got small dark
eyes himself, but who is bred from a family for two or three genera-
tions on both sides that had all got small dark eyes; and although
this dog may not be quite as good in other points as the dog he
had thought of in the first instance, he is bred right for the par-
ticular points he wants for this bitch, and he is likely to reproduce
them. With the bad colored and coated bitch, and the small, weak-
boned bitch also, he selects a dog that is not only good in the points
that he wants for his bitch, but one that is also bred from a family
that is strong in those particular points.

The obvious conclusion is that a breeder, in selecting a stud dog,
should not only study his individual excellence in the points that
he wants for his bitch, but should also take into consideration the
general character of his family, so far as the desired points are con-
cerned. The successful breeder tries to select the dog most likely
to correct the faults of his bitch, and at the same time to preserve
her own good points as far as possible.

It is a curious thing, but some sires, although both well-bred and
good-looking, appear to possess but little individuality, and entirely
fail to stamp their own type and character on their progeny. I
know of several cases of dogs bred from the same parents, and both
good show dogs, where one brother proves a successful sire of Cham-
pions, and the other brother, although just as good-looking, never
gets anything good, although all sorts and conditions of bitches are
bred to him. It is the same with some bitches. Many well-bred,
eood-looking bitches, even when mated to sires that are most suc-
cessful stud-dogs, never breed anything really good, while other
bitches, no better bred and not half so good-looking, seem to breed
winners in every litter. Why this is so, I do not pretend to know;
I only state it to be a fact.

My advice to young breeders is to keep a keen lookout for the
dog who is getting the winners, and note the general character of
the majority of the puppies that he gets, and if he thinks from his
breeding and his appearance that he is likely to suit his bitch, to
use him, and if he does not get the points he wants the first time,
and he is satisfied in his mind that he is the right dog for his bitch,
both in points and in breeding, to try him again, and even a third

time, as litters by the same sire and out of the same dam vary from
one litter to another, just in the same way that the members of the
same family vary in human beings, although they are all from the
same parents. When I have wanted to get some particular point
from a certain strain, and I was convinced that a certain dog should
give me what I wanted, I have used him again and again, but I
always got what I wanted in the end.

A little inbreeding is necessary to preserve the characteristics of
a particular strain. My favorite method with a good all-round
bitch, who has no really bad faults, but no particularly outstanding
merits either, is to breed her back to her best grandsire, or to a good
son of her best grandsire. The latter has proved most successful
for me. I am not in favor of very close inbreeding, like breeding
brother and sister together. Close inbreeding is only justified when
both dogs are of exceptionally good quality, with plenty of size and
substance, and then only to fix some particular point; and when
necessary, it is better to breed the sire to the daughter, or the son
to the dam, rather than breed brother and sister together. Even
this should not be done more than once every few generations, as it
weakens the nervous system. The fact also must not be overlooked
that by inbreeding we are just as likely to inbreed a fault as to
inbreed a good quality, hence the necessity to inbreed only to the
very best. .A fault inbred in two generations is far worse to breed
out than a fault in one generation only.

Before leaving the subject of the stud dog, I would impress upon
the young fancier that perfect health, vigor, and a good, sound,
healthy constitution are just as essential to a stud dog as they are
to a brood bitch. When a bitch is mated to the dog, she should be
in good, hard-working condition, and not too fat. It is much better
to have her on the lean side than too fat.

In conclusion, I would advise the young fancier to try and estab-
lish a strain of his own. This is best done by continuing a line on
the female side from one generation to another. By keeping such a
strain running from one generation to another, the breeder knows
the faults and good qualities of each particular generation, and
must have a better chance of mating them rightly, than a breeder
who is always changing from one strain to another.

CHAPTER IV

THE CARE OF THE BROOD BITCH

WE will now suppose that the budding
fancier has purchased a brood bitch on
the lines laid down in the last chapter.
He must now wait until she comes in
season, which Airedale Terriers usually
do when they are from eight to ten
months old, though they vary a month
or so either way, according to their
CH. LARCHMERE MISTRESS development and the time of the year,
MAGNET being usually alittleearlierin the spring.

A well-grown, healthy, well-nourished puppy who has lived a
healthy outdoor country life, will usually come on earlier than a
town-reared puppy who has not had so much liberty or exercise, and
a healthy bitch will usually come in season about every six months
afterwards.

When the period is coming on, the bitch will be unusually play-
ful, and try to attract the attention of other dogs. No notice need
be taken of this, except as an indication that she must be carefully
watched every day to see if she has any colored discharge. The
moment this is observed, she should be locked up in a kennel by
herself, where it is impossible for her to escape, or for any other
dog to get to her. Where a bitch has to be left to the care*of ser-
vants, who may have very little knowledge of dogs, I should
strongly advise the owner to attend to this himself, as however
obedient a bitch may be at ordinary times, she will obey her instinct,
and escape, if she can, when she is in season.

The period usually extends, from first to last, over three weeks.
Bitches vary very much in the time when they will permit the
approach of the dog. Some are quite ready in seven or eight days,
while others are fourteen days or over sometimes. The best time
to breed her to the dog is the first day after the colored discharge

42 THE COMPLETE STORY

has died away, but it may be taken as a general rule to follow, that
whenever a bitch is really keen on the dog, and shows by her actions
her desire for his presence, that is the right time to breed her to
the dog.

If a bitch has to be sent a long distance by rail to visit a stud dog,
it is best to send her in good time, when-.she has been discharging
about five days, as most owners of stud dogs would prefer to keep
a bitch for a few days before service, rather than run the risk of
her coming too late, as a long railway journey often upsets a bitch,
and when she is near the end of her period it may cause her to go
off season altogether.

Accidents will happen sometimes, and in spite of all precautions
a highly bred bitch will escape and contract a misalhance with a
mongrel or a dog of another breed. Many a valuable bitch has been
destroyed for this, because her owner had an idea that she would
be of no more use to breed from, and that her future litters would
be tainted. I know that this idea is prevalent among many breed-
ers, but scientific opinion is against it, and my personal experience
is also against it; and if she is tried again to a pure-bred dog, I
think it will be found that her puppies will be all right, and will
show no traces of the previous misalliance.

When a bitch comes in season, it is always wise to give her a good
clean-out for worms before mating her to the dog. By doing this,
the bitch herself will be stronger and healthier when carrying her
puppies, and the puppies themselves are not so liable to be infected
with worms when they come.

Some breeders mate a bitch every time that she comes in season,
but this is a great strain on her constitution and can only be done
successfully with those that live a free, healthy country life.
Bitches that are kept in kennels in big cities, and don’t get much
natural exercise, should only be bred from in the spring of the year.

Amongst even experienced breeders opinions vary as to the wis-
dom of breeding a bitch the first time she comes in season. Some
breeders argue that a bitch would not come in season at all if nature
did not intend her to breed puppies. Other breeders never mate a
bitch the first time she comes in season, as they argue that she is
not then fully matured, and that her puppies are not as big and
strong as those from an older bitch. Personally, my opinion is that
it is better to wait until the second period, except in the case of a
big, well-grown, healthy bitch who comes in season just in the

spring of the year, as it must be a great strain on a young bitch to
rear puppies.

Some breeders like a bitch to have two services, with a day’s
interval between them. Other breeders are in favor of one service
only, as they find that they have fewer puppies with one service
than with two services. They argue that it is much better to have
six or seven strong, healthy puppies than nine or ten small, weedy
ones. My own experience has certainly been that I have had, on an
average, larger litters with two services, than I have had when the
bitch has had one service only; and in a breed like the Airedale
Terrier, in which size and substance are of such great value, I think
it is best to have one service only, if the bitch is caught just at the
right time, provided that the dog is a consistent stock-getter and
the bitch is a certain breeder. The best time of the year to have
puppies born is undoubtedly in the spring. They have then all
summer in front of them, and can be easily reared outside. Sun-
shine is as essential for puppies as it is for all animal life, and the
more they can get of it when they are young, the better it will be
for them.

After the bitch has been mated to the dog, and her period of
being in season is quite over, she should be allowed to have her
entire liberty as much as possible. This is not always possible in
towns, where there is danger of a valuable bitch being stolen if
she is allowed to roam about by herself. In that case it is much
better to let her have gentle walking exercise at frequent intervals,
rather than take her for long, tiring walks. She should be fed
generously all the time she is in whelp, and given plenty of new
milk, brown bread, and oatmeal porridge, with fresh, lean, raw
meat twice or four times a week. Great care should be taken to
prevent her fighting, as it upsets her and often causes a miscarriage.

A bitch is due to whelp sixty-three days after being mated to the
dog, but they often vary a few days, most bitches whelping a day
or two before their time. If the bitch is at all costive during the
latter part of her pregnancy, a tablespoonful of vegetable oil or
castor oil should be given every other day.

About a fortnight before her puppies are expected, she should
be placed where she is going to whelp, so that she will be quite
settled down when they are due. She should not be housed with
other dogs, but should be kept out of sight or hearing of them if
possible. Warmth is of the utmost importance until the puppies

are three weeks old, and if it is not convenient to put her in a room
where there is artificial heat, the next best thing is to put her into
a stable, or cow shed, where horses or cows are kept, as it 1s gener-
ally warm there. If, however, this is not possible, she should be
placed in a warm, dry, sunny kennel, with a box at least three feet
six inches square, filled with a nice bed of straw for her to whelp
in. It is best to have two boxes, so that one can be well dried and
disinfected while the other is in use.

The bitch should have free access to a bowl of fresh drinking
water, and be left to herself as much as possible. When it is seen
that she is in labor, it is not wise to interfere with her, as Airedale
Terriers, if strong and healthy, do not often require any assistance,
and the less they are bothered at this time the better, as they are
apt to get excited if they are interfered with, with the result that
more harm is done than good; so, beyond just looking at her oceca-
sionally to see that all is going on right, it is best to leave her alone.
Nature teaches her what is necessary.

When she has quite finished whelping (which may take from four
to twelve hours or even longer), her bed, which will now be quite
wet, should be removed, and she should be placed with her puppies
in the second box, which should have a nice clean bed of straw.
The box that she has whelped in should be cleaned out and disin-
fected, and dried ready for use again.

She need not be fed for some hours, as she will eat the afterbirth,
but should be left to rest for a while, and not be disturbed. The
box should be changed every day, but beyond this, the puppies
should be interfered with as little as possible until they are three
weeks or a month old.

After the bitch has had a good rest, and is nicely settled down
with her puppies in her new clean bed, a little boiled milk or thin
eruel may be offered to her about every four hours, but she usually
does not want much for the first day or two. If she will not drink
milk, a little sheep’s-head broth poured over stale brown bread or
boiled rice may be offered to her. If this also is refused, it should
be taken away, and she should not be offered anything again for
four hours, but left with a dish of clean cold water close to her, so
that she can drink when disposed. After the third day she may
begin to have solid food, such as meat, vegetables, scraps from the
table, brown bread and milk, or soaked dog biscuits with sheep’s-
head broth poured over them. All feeding vessels should be kept

sweet and clean, as the bitch is liable to be easily upset when in
this condition.

The health of the nursing mother is of the greatest importance,
and if her milk should be poor in quality or scanty it is far better
to get a foster-mother. <A foster-mother need not be of the same
breed, but should be as near the same size as the mother of the
puppies as possible. She must be in perfect health, and have
whelped within a few days of the puppies she is intended to nurse.
As the puppies grow older and stronger, the mother’s breasts are
often made sore by the puppies biting and scratching her with their
little sharp claws, and at length they will often cause her so mueh
pain that she is almost afraid to nurse them. She will be greatly re-
heved if her breasts are gently rubbed with marshmallow ointment,
which will not harm the puppies if they get it into their mouths.

The puppies should have their tails docked and their dew-claws
taken off when they are from five to seven days old. This can be
done in both cases with a pair of sharp scissors, taking off about one
third of the tail.

The bitch, if she is a good mother, will be very keen on her pup-
pies at first and will not leave them far for the first week or two.
Her kennel door should be left open, so that she can come and go
just as she pleases. She will be all the better for a little change and
fresh air, and will not neglect them, but will go in and nurse them.

The puppies should be induced to lap as early as possible. It
relieves the mother, and the puppies are all the better for it. At
three weeks old they should be taught to lap milk, or lactol, which
I have found very good indeed for getting the puppies on. The
milk should not be mixed with water, as the bitch’s milk is much
stronger than either cows’ or goats’ milk. They should be fed on
nothing but new milk which has been boiled and cooled down,
lactol, brown bread scalded with new milk, boiled rice, oatmeal
porridge, or Quaker oats, until they are two months old.

The mother will usually lick her puppies and clean after them
when they are in the nest. This is hable to upset her stomach, and
sometimes affects her milk, and it is a good plan to give her a dose
of castor oil once a week while she is nursing them.

It is not wise to let a bitch rear more than six or seven puppies
herself; if there are more, it is best to destroy the remainder, or
get a foster-mother, as it is far better to have six or seven big,
strong, healthy puppies than nine or ten weedy ones.

THE SELECTION AND REARING OF PUPPIES

WHEN the puppies are six
weeks old, they should have
been feeding themselves for
some time, and are quite old
enough to leave the mother ;
so, unless the owner has am-
ple facilities for rearing them
at home, they should be sent
‘‘out to walk,’’ as it is called
in England, to be reared.

If they are going to be

A COUPLE OF BOTHWELL PUPS try, it is better to send two
Showing the spirit of their sire, Prince of York to each place, as they exercise
themselves better and amuse one another better than if sent singly,
but two are quite enough for one place.

If they are going to be reared at a cottage in or near a town,
I think it is better to send one puppy only to each place, as a
woman will often take one puppy to live in the house, where it
will get plenty of exercise by playing with the children, who will
often make a pet of it, and take it about with them, while if two are
sent, they will be shut up most of the day in some outbuilding, and
will not get half the care and attention they would have if they
were reared in the house; and in a breed like the Airedale Terrier,
where size and substance are so very essential, this is an important
matter.

When six weeks old it is impossible to tell which puppy will
eventually turn out the best. Sometimes the least promising one
at this age turns out the best in the end, and when the financial
side has to be considered it is never wise to refuse a good price.

Puppies from fashionably bred parents often sell better when

. they are six or eight weeks old, when they are nice, round, healthy
puppies, with no faults that can be seen, and with the possibility
of becoming future Champions, than they do later on, when al) their
imperfections can be seen.

Even if one should be sold at this age which afterwards becomes
a Champion, the breeder has always got the credit and personal
satisfaction of having bred it; and the mere fact of his having sold
a Champion at this age will help to sell many other puppies, so that
he will not be a loser in the end.

The novice shouid select the puppies which have the longest
heads, with the strongest foreface, the shortest backs, the most bone,
and the smallest ears, with well-set tails, and black back and deep,
rich tan. The negative points to be looked for are an undershot
mouth, light eyes, big ears, long backs, white toes, or a light-colored
soft coat.

When there are two doubtful specimens and one of them has to
go, if they are a dog and a bitch it is far better to keep the bitch, for
though she may be only a moderate show dog herself, yet if she is
healthy and well bred, she may turn out a really good brood bitch;
whereas a dog, if he is only a moderate specimen, is usually hard to
dispose of, and is not much value as a stud dog.

I should like to impress upon young fanciers that it never pays
in the end to send out a weedy or a weakly puppy. They will not
all be show dogs, but they should at least be strong and healthy,
fair specimens of the breed, and fit for either sporting companions,
house guards, or stud purposes.

Puppies are often troubled with worms, even at six weeks or
two months old, and if they are going away to be reared, it is wise
to give them a dose of worm medicine before they go. <A stock
vermifuge that I have found very useful at this age may be made
by taking one dram (60 grains) of santonine and mixing it with
four ounces of castor oil, in a bottle with a round base, like a soda-
water bottle. This mixture should be heated before use to get the
surplus santonine redissolved. A teaspoonful of this mixture,
mixed with a little milk, is a dose for an Airedale puppy six weeks
old, and should be given fasting in the morning. If the first dose is
not successful, it should be repeated in about an hour and a half,
followed by a hot, sloppy breakfast of bread and milk or sheep’s-
head broth and bread. Another good vermifuge for pups at this
age is to give one grain of freshly powdered areca nut for every

56 THE COMPLETE STORY

pound the puppy weighs, followed in an hour by a dessertspoonful
of castor oil.

Puppies bred from strong, healthy parents are not half as much
trouble to rear as puppies bred from parents that are weakly and
of bad constitution. The former will eat any good plain food that
comes first, and are always merry and bright, and full of health and
spirits, romping and playing all day long. They are a source of
real pleasure to their owner, who delights to watch them and attend
to them. If properly fed, they grow into big, strong, healthy dogs
that are good either for sport or to stand the strain of travelling
from show to show. Puppies bred from parents of weak, poor con-
stitution have never the same vitality to begin with, are twice the
trouble to rear, and if they do happen to have a lot of good show
points, they have to be drugged to get them into show condition,
and are never as good, either to breed from or for sport.

The one great secret of puppy rearing is to feed little, and feed
often, and never on any account to overfeed. Six times a day is
not too much till they are three months old, then four times a day
till they are six months old, then three times a day till they are
twelve months old; after that age, a dry biscuit or a handful of
dry hound-meal in the morning and a square meal at night is quite
enough for any adult dog, except for a stud dog, or a bitch in whelp,
who should both be fed very generously with plenty of fresh, lean
raw meat. I ama great believer in oatmeal porridge and new milk
for rearing puppies, and this, with wholemeal brown bread and new
milk, fish heads boiled until the bones are dissolved, Quaker oats,
or sheep’s-head broth poured over brown bread and house scraps,
with a little fresh, lean raw meat occasionally, should be their
staple food till they are six months old.

One of the best puppy walkers I ever had was an old gardener
who made milk and oatmeal porridge their staple food. He boiled
as much oatmeal at one time as would last them two days, then
poured it into another vessel to cool, and heated it up afterwards
by pouring hot milk over it, to which he added a little treacle to
sweeten it, feeding five or six times a day. His only variation was
a few scraps from the house, and a boiled sheep’s-head or two ocea-
sionally. Whatever mistakes |. made myself in breeding the pup-
pies, as far as show points were concerned, one thing I could be
always sure of, and that was that any puppies that he reared would
always be big strong dogs, with perfect legs and feet, strong firm

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 57

backs, and as merry and active as young kittens. My experience is
that well-cooked oatmeal and undiluted new milk are unequalled for
making bone.

In feeding puppies, it is much better to feed them separately
than to feed them all together out of the same dish. In the latter
ease, the strongest ones push the weaker aside and eat more than
they should do, while the weaker ones do not get as much as they
really need. By feeding separately, every puppy gets its proper
share—neither too much nor too little.

I would impress upon the novice that these two rules—feed little
and often, and feed separately—are the two greatest factors in suc-
cessful puppy rearing. Note the difference between a puppy fed
in this way and another that is allowed to gorge himself three times
a day. The latter, when he has been fed, crawls away with dis-
tended stomach to sleep off his heavy meal; while the former, in-
stead of sleeping, is all for play, stands firm and true on his legs,
and is ready to play with anything that turns up.

The novice must also bear in mind that a heavy body is so much
weight on the legs, and that the legs of a young puppy are weak,
and to allow a young puppy to gorge himself is a sure way to get
weak, bandy legs and badly placed elbows.

Puppies should never be fed until their abdomen is distended,
but should be made to leave off eating while they are yet ready for
more, and they should be kept as much as possible on their feet, and
encouraged to play and exercise as much as possible, and have a
warm, comfortable bed that they can go to whenever they feel tired
out.

When the puppies are born in the spring, and the weather is fine
and the ground dry, they are all the better for being out in the
sunshine for about half an hour two or three times a day, when
they are from three to six weeks old. In fact, the more they get
into the sunshine, except in the hottest part of the day, until they
are six months old, the better it will be for them. Sunshine is as
essential to puppies as it is to all animal and vegetable life.

When the puppies are four months old, they should be taught to
kill rats. It is the first thing an Airedale Terrier should learn, and
it helps to make them hardy and gives them courage and confidence
that is useful in the show ring afterwards. I have had puppies
that would kill cleverly at three months old, but I think four months
is perhaps soon enough.

D8 THE COMPLETE STORY

Some people expect an Airedale puppy to kill rats at first sight,
and some of them will do so, but this is surely unreasonable to
expect. Up to this time, if the puppy has attempted to give vent
to his natural instincts by chasing fowls, sheep, cats, etc., it has been
checked by its master and severely rated: for doing so; yet there
are people who, in spite of this, expect to see him rush in and kill
the first rat he sees, when he does not know whether he will be doing
wrong or right. This is not quite fair to the puppy; he should first
be shown what he is expected to do.

He should be held, and allowed to see an older dog kill some rats,
then he should be encouraged to take hold of the dead rats and
carry them about in his mouth, and be plainly shown what he is
expected to do. If he can be taken where a corn stack is being
ferreted, or to where other dogs and ferrets are working around
some farm buildings, he will soon learn to take a hand in the game,
as it comes natural to an Airedale Terrier. If he is led gradually
on, step by step, without putting him to something beyond his
strength and powers, there are very few things that he will not
dare to tackle when he is full grown, if he is told by a master in
whom he has every confidence.

As this may not be practicable for a townsman, I have a method
of my own of entering a puppy to rat-killing that may possibly
interest some townsmen who have not the advantage of living in
the country. I have a hay loft over my stable, in which every hole
has been carefully cemented up, so that the rats cannot possibly
escape. When I want to try a puppy, I send for a cageful of rats,
and then lay big heaps of straw at intervals all over the floor. I
then open the door of the cage and allow the rats to escape. In a
few seconds they have all taken to cover under the various heaps
of straw. I then fetch the puppy, turn him loose in the room, and
sit down and light my pipe. In a little while the puppy, finding
that I will not play with him or take any notice of him, begins,
puppy-like, to investigate the room, with the result that he prob-
ably disturbs one of the heaps of straw where the rats are concealed,
and causes a rat to bolt and seek another cover. The puppy, seeing
the rat and winding something new, chases him to the next heap of
straw, where the rat takes cover again, and when the puppy pushes
his head in after it to investigate, the rat either bolts again, when
he chases after it, or the puppy gets bitten for his curiosity. If he
is naturally a game one, this puts him on his mettle, and, encouraged

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 59

by me, he generally has a go for it, and after a struggle usually
kills it, sometimes getting badly bitten by an old rat. It is great
fun, when he has won his first battle, to see him swagger around
with the rat in his mouth, as if he owned the whole earth. In a little
while, when he has settled down a bit, I take the rat from him and
make him understand that it is dead, and then show him where
some of the other rats are hidden. He is keener this time, and
usually kills the second in about half the time he took to kill the
first one, and so on until he has finished the lot.

This method seldom fails. If the puppy does not take to it at
first, I fetch out an old dog to show him how it should be done.
It also has the advantage of teaching him to put down his nose and
hunt, as he knows perfectly well, after he has killed the first two
or three rats, what he is hunting for.

When the puppies are six or seven months old, the dogs that
promise to make winners should be taken in hand and trained for
the show ring, and the others drafted out and sold for house guards
or sporting companions; and the sooner this is done, the better, as
they only take up room that better dogs should occupy.

CHAPTER VI

HOW TO TRAIN AND CONDITION FOR THE SHOW RING

WHEN the puppies are about six or
seven months old, those that look like
making winners should be taken in
hand and prepared for the Show
Ring.

If the puppies have been kept out
at walk, the probability is that they
will have had very little grooming,
and their coats will be in a rough,
patchy condition. All this outer coat
should be taken off with fingers and

Bee ee SOx ALIST thumb, down to the inner coat, so that
when the top coat grows again, it will be all nice, new, even coat
of the same age and length. It will come off quite easily and will
not hurt the puppy at all. A good-coated dog will take two months
or even longer to grow a nice new coat, but a soft-coated dog will
probably be ready in four or five weeks, as a soft coat grows much
quicker than a hard, wiry one.

The puppy should be well combed daily, with a fine steel comb
that will take away all the soft downy hair, and afterwards be
well brushed with a hard dandy brush, finishing off with a good
rub down with a hound glove, for about five minutes. This makes
the coat lie close and dense, and both gives it a polish and makes
it handle harder.

If this is done regularly, and all the old dead coat is picked out
as it makes its appearance, a dog with a good natural wiry coat will
be in show condition all the year round, as he will never get really
bad; but a bad-coated dog will have to be stripped again in a few

However cleverly a really bad-coated dog may have been
trimmed, it seldom deceives an experienced judge, who can always

64 THE COMPLETE STORY

tell when a dog has a good natural coat, and will rightly penalize
one that has been overtrimmed.

About a month before the show, if there is the least suspicion
that the puppy has worms, it is wise to give it a good dose of worm
medicine. There are many good worm medicines advertised, but
I like the old-fashioned areca nut and santonine combination as
well as any. For a well-grown Airedale puppy about nine months
old, give 40 grains of freshly grated areca nut mixed with 3 grains
of santonine ‘and made into a pill with lard or butter, all to be
followed two hours afterwards with an ounce of castor oil. Then
feed on some hot, sloppy food and give walking exercise until the
operation is completed. For an adult Airedale the dose would be
60 grains of areca nut and 4 grains of santonine.

I don’t believe in giving drugs to a dog to get it in show condi-
tion, as this can be done much better by a suitable diet, plenty of
exercise, and strict attention to cleanliness. The only medicine that
I ever give to my own dogs, with the exception of an occasional
dose of castor oil or worm medicine, is a teaspoonful of milk of
sulphur in their soft food once a week. This appears to keep their
blood right, and I seldom have any skin disease in the kennel.

In addition to the ordinary exercise the puppy gets, he should
now be walked on a long lead for about an hour daily, on the hard
road if possible, as this is good for his feet, and keeps the nails
down and also helps to get him into good, hard condition. If he is
taken occasionally amongst traffic and other dogs, he will get accus-
tomed to them and will be all the better for it.

Some Airedale puppies do not take kindly to the leader at first,
especially country-reared puppies that have had their entire liberty
up to this time. With this kind of dog the only thing is patience
and kindness, as they often make the keenest showers in the end,
when they have got over their shyness. Puppies have to be trained
and broken for the show ring, and taught to make the most of them-
selves, Just the same as a show hackney has to be broken and taught
to show off all his best points.

If the puppy will not go in the leader at first, don’t drag him
along the road, but take him home again and turn him loose in the
kennel yard with the leader fastened to his collar, and let him drag
it after him for about a quarter of an hour, twice a day, until he
gets quite accustomed to it. When he appears to be no longer afraid
of it, pick up the end of the leader occasionally, and after attract-

ing his attention, throw him a few pieces of, meat. He will soon
begin to expect this whenever the leader is taken up. Encourage
him to romp and play with the leader on; throw pieces of meat for
him and let him gallop after them, still holding him by the leader,
and he will soon begin to think that it is a game that he likes, and
will be as keen on it as his master.

When out walking on the road, the owner or trainer should
always carry a few pieces of meat in his pocket, and if the puppy
is at all afraid of anything that he meets, he should be petted and
encouraged until he has got over his fear, and not be bullied; and
if he is systematically treated with kindness in this way until he
outgrows his puppyhood, it will take a lot to frighten him when he
is a fully matured dog.

When his owner sees a chance, in a quiet place, he should pull
him up and teach him to stand with his head and tail up, on the
alert. Throw him a few bits of meat, and he will soon learn to
stand and pose like a hackney stallion. Then walk on another mile,
stop, and give him another lesson, and it is surprising how soon he
will learn what he is expected to do; and when he is taken into the
show ring he will always beat a dog that may be just a little better
in show points, but does not make the very most of himself.

When he has got thoroughly accustomed to the leader, chain him
up to a post, and tell him to stop there, and then walk away and
leave him. On your return, pet him, and give him a few bits of
meat, and let him see that he has been all right, and that you ex-
pected him to stay where he had been fastened. When he has once
learned this lesson at home, it will save him a lot of worry and
trouble when he goes to a show and is fastened on a show bench
for the first time.

When a fancier cannot spare the time to give a dog this road
exercise, 1t can be kept in fairly good condition if it is taught to
retrieve a ball for a few minutes two or three times a day, though
too much of this has a tendency to make them go in shoulders.

In the summer time it is never wise to give severe exercise in the
middle of the day, ‘‘when the sun is at its meridian,’’ but always in
the morning or the evening, when it is cooler.

The puppy should be fed on food that will make good, firm, hard
muscle, and not fat. It should not be overfed, but should be fed
lightly, three times a day, after exercise. A dry dog biscuit, or a
little dry hound-meal, will do for breakfast; a little perfectly fresh,

68 THE COMPLETE STORY

minced lean raw meat at noon, with a soft feed, at night, of soaked
dog biscuits or brown bread, well mixed with green vegetables,
sheep’s-head broth and meat or fish, will make a nice, varied, and
nourishing diet.

An Airedale Terrier should always be Shown in good, hard-work-
ing condition and not too fat. It should be in good health and
spirits, with the eyes clear and bright, the coat and skin in perfect
condition, and be full of vim and fire, so that it will make the very
most of itself in the show ring.

I would strongly urge the young fancier never to show his dog
unless it is in perfect condition, both in health and in coat. More
novices have given up dogs through doing this than anything else
that I know of. They show a good dog in bad coat and form gener-
ally, and get put down below dogs that they could easily beat if their
dogs were in better condition. Some astute professional notes the
dog’s sterling qualities, and buys him, well knowing what he can
do when he is put down in better form and condition. He spends
time with him and gets the dog into good form, when he rightly
beats the dogs that beat him when he was owned and exhibited by
the novice. The novice then often blames the judge, when it is
his own fault entirely.

A strong, capable judge will always judge the dogs on the form
they show when he is judging them in the show ring. He does not
take into consideration what they may have done in the past, or
may possibly do in the future. He judges them as he sees them
before him at the moment. If a dog loses under a particular judge
at one show, there is no reason whatever why he should not beat
the same dogs, under the same judge, at another show, if the dog
is then put down in better health and condition, and shows himself
better.

There is a great art in handling a dog in the show ring, so as to
exhibit all its best points to the judge, and as few of its bad ones
as possible. At the same time, it takes a very clever handler to
deceive an experienced judge, who has generally been through the
mill himself, and is quite awake to all the little dodges. I remember
old George Hallewell—‘‘ Yorkshire George,’’ as they used to call
him—once judging at Bingley, when a certain well-known profes-
sional was leading a Terrier who, though somewhat plain in head
and heavy in shoulders, had a very good body and set on of tail,
with an excellent coat of good color. When ‘‘old George’’ came to

examine this dog, the handler naturally turned his head away from
the judge, and showed him his good body and outline and his excel-
lent coat. After looking at the dog for a bit, ‘‘old George’’ walked
round to have a look at the dog’s head and front, when the handler
immediately turned the dog round again and showed him his body,
ete., again. This occurred two or three times, when ‘‘old George’’
lost his temper and said aloud in his broad Yorkshire dialect,
“That ’s all right, lad, I ’ve looked at his body long enough; let ’s
hev a look at his heead nah,’’ and everybody around in the show
ring roared with laughter as they appreciated the joke.

A judge usually gives every consideration to the novice, and will
give him every opportunity to show his dog, when he is opposed to
an experienced, clever handler; but if the novice has a really good
dog, it often pays him to engage a professional handler to take it
to the first few shows, till the dog gets thoroughly accustomed to
the show ring. My advice to the young fancier is to watch the best
professional handlers when they are showing their own dogs in the
ring, and he will soon get hold of the knack. Another hint that
I would give the novice is not to push his dog under the judge’s
nose all the time, or follow him about the ring when he is examining
the other dogs; it is not fair to the other competitors, and nothing
annoys a judge more. There is no fear that a competent judge will
overlook a dog, and he can see the dog much better when it is a
short distance from him than he can when it is always under his
nose. If he wants to make a closer examination, he will either go
to the dog himself or ask the exhibitor to bring it to him.

When taking a puppy on a railway journey to a show, it is
better not to give it a heavy meal before it starts, or it may be sick
in its box and mess itself up. It is far better to wait until it arrives
at the show, and then, being slightly hungry, it will eat what it
requires.

On returning home, it is a good practice to give it a good dose
of Epsom salts, especially if the show lasts more than one day, as
it will have lain on the show bench most of the time, and a good
clean-out will do it good, and may possibly save it from an attack
of distemper. In any case, it should be kept away from the other
puppies for a few days, to see whether it is going to develop dis-
temper or not, as there is always a risk.

CHAPTER VII

POINTS WHERE IMPROVEMENT IS STILL NEEDED

AutHouGH Airedale Terrier
breeders are to be congratu-
lated on the wonderful prog-
ress that the breed has made
in such a comparatively
short time, there is still con-
siderable room for further
improvement.

There has, no doubt, been
a great improvement in
heads in recent years, but
texture of coat and color
have got steadily worse, and
I am convinced that many Airedale Terrier breeders are sacrificing
the real, hard, natural wiry coat, that it is so essential that the
breed should possess, in order to obtain the long clean heads that
look so attractive on the show bench. This is a great pity, and if
persisted in will do permanent injury to the breed, as nothing dis-
gusts a novice more than to buy a dog who has been trimmed down
and appears to have a fairly good coat, and then to find out a few
weeks afterwards that he grows a coat like a sheep dog.

The right kind of coat should be so close and dense that the dog
should be able to swim across a fair-sized river and back again
without wetting his skin at all; and dogs with this kind of coat
make the best show dogs also, as the only preparation their coats
require for the show ring is good grooming and the old dead hairs
picked out as they appear.

The original and, in my opinion, the best color for an Airedale
Terrier is the black saddle and the rich golden tan, which the best
dogs of the breed in the past possessed. Champion Cholmondeley
Briar, Champion Master Briar, Champion Clonmel Marvel, and
Champion Otley Chevin—to mention but a few that occur readily
to my mind—were all of this color. It is not only the most attrac-

IMPERIOUS OORANG

tive color, but is, generally speaking, the best for texture as well,
and it seldom grows too long. The light-colored, grizzly-coated ones
usually have the worst texture of coat, but these have generally got
the longest and cleanest heads.

This reminds me of a curious fact, that has often been com-
mented on by experienced breeders of any kind of wire-haired Ter-
riers, and that is, that the best-headed Terriers in any breed have
usually got the worst coats, and the best coated and colored ones
have usually got the worst heads. Why this should be so I do not
know ; I only know it to be a fact, and I am convinced that all breeds
of wire-haired Terriers have a tendency to come so.

In Airedales, as in other breeds of wire-haired Terriers, the most
difficult thing is to get a long quality head, together with a sound,
hard, non-trimming coat of good color. They may be hard to get,
but when you do get them, if the other points are right, you have
a Champion, and it is an ideal worth trying for.

The second point where, in my opinion, considerable improve-
ment is still needed, is in size and substance. The Airedale Terriers
are the biggest of all the Terrier family, and they should have a
distinctive character which is all their own. Size, strength, bone
and substance are all essential points if the breed is to maintain its
present popularity as all-round sporting dogs, and to do the hard,
rough work they were first bred for, as it is in these very points
that they excel every other breed of Terrier.

The fact must not be overlooked that the standard weight of an
Airedale Terrier is 45 pounds for a dog, and for bitches slightly
less; and personally I would rather have them a pound or two over
this weight, provided that there is nothing coarse or houndy about
them, and that they are full of Terrier character.

Some years ago, the Committee of The Airedale Terrier Club was
so keen on the necessity of maintaining the standard weight of the
breed that they added the following foot-note to the official ‘‘Stan-
dard of the Airedale Terrier,’’ and it still appears in their Book of
Rules, under the official description of the ‘‘Standard of the Aire-
dale Terrier’’: ‘‘That it is the unanimous opinion of the A. T. C.
that the size of the Airedale Terrier as given in the above Standard,
if not the most, is one of the most important characteristics of the
breed. All judges who shall henceforth adjudicate on the merits
of the Airedale Terrier shall consider undersized specimens of the
breed severely handicapped when competing with dogs of the Stan-

dard weight; and that any of the Club’s Judges who, in the opinion
of the Committee, shall give prizes, or otherwise push to the front,
dogs of a small type, shall be at once struck off from the list of
specialist judges. ’”’

The first Airedale Terriers that were exhibited, no doubt showed
too much of the Otter Hound, and for many years breeders were
trying to get rid of this, and introduce more Terrier character ;
but to-day, Im my opinion, there is a danger of this being carried
too far, as we often see smart, showy, good-headed Terriers win-
ning that are light in bone, weedy in body, and under 40 pounds
in weight; dogs that most certainly could never stand the hard,
rough work that an Airedale is expected to do.

Fox terriers have to be kept down to a standard weight to enable
them to go to earth to tackle the Fox, Otter or Badger. In the
same way, Airedale Terriers must be kept wp to the standard weight
of the breed, if they are to continue to do the work that an Airedale
is expected to do.

L hope I have made myself quite clear. What is wanted at the
present day is not a big, coarse, houndy type of Terrier, but a Ter-
rier with the strength, bone, and substance and hunting qualities
of his ancestor, the Otter Hound, combined with the character,
quality, gameness and vim of a high-class Terrier. This may be
hard to get, but it is the ideal, and if we keep pegging away we are
sure to get there in the end.

They are splendid guards to either person or property, and if
their master likes to go out with a gun, they are in their proper
element, as they have a keen, sensitive nose, are born hunters and
thorough vermin-killers.

They are excellent water dogs, their close, dense coats permitting
them to enter the water at nearly all times of the year, when most
other dogs would refuse; are easily trained to retrieve from either
land or water, and can be taught to beat game from a rough cover
lke a spaniel. They have been used to drive both cattle and sheep,
and can be taught to hunt the trail of either man or animal.

Though too big to go to ground, they will tackle and hold either
an Otter or a Badger; they are exceptionally intelligent and dead
game, and have been used for all kinds of sport, in all parts of
the world.

82 THE COMPLETE STORY

In the United States this dog has been tried and proved his
worth in an entirely new field of sport, and from all reports he has
taken as naturally to hunting bears as hunting otter, the form of
hunting he was bred for.

The citizens of the western part of the United States and Canada,
where the brown and grizzly bear are plentiful, are loud in singing
the praises of the Airedale Terrier as they claim he is far superior
to any other breed in use for bear hunting, for he has the strength,

the staying power, the gameness and grit of any other dog and,
what is more to the point, he displays marvelous head work and
discretion in tackling the bear and soon learns the fine points of
the game and shows his natural aptitude for it. The only criticism
they can find in him is that he is a bit too ight and does better at
this arduous work if weighing from 10 to 20 pounds more than
a ‘‘Standard’’ specimen, and I understand that they have bred
them up to 70 pounds or more for this purpose.

I believe in bear hunting the dog is expected to track and engage
the bear’s attention by worrying him; to give voice and thereby eall
the hunter to the spot. And the great secret of a successful bear
dog is not to get too close to Master Bruin’s front paws, but just
keep him sufficiently interested to have him remain in one spot long
enough for the hunter to come up and engage him.

84 THE COMPLETE STORY

The hunting is done over very rough country, a great deal of it
in the mountains, and a great many miles are covered in a day’s
sport, and this fact, together with the work expected of him, really
ealls for a heavier dog than he naturally is.

After repeated experiments with other breeds of dogs, they have
become generally adopted as police dogs, both at home and in the
Colonial, Indian, and Continental police forces, and are the breed
generally used for war purposes in the European armies.

Wherever they have been introduced, they soon make them-
selves at home, and are general favorites, as they are easily reared
and ean stand any amount of hard, rough work in either hot or
cold climates. They are now firmly established in the country of
their birth, the United States, Canada, South America, India, South
Africa, Australia, and all over the continent of Europe.

The nose should be black and the eyes rather small, dark hazel in
color, with a keen Terrier expression ; the ears, small, V-shaped, and
carried close to the side of the head; the neck of good length, widen-
ing gradually towards the shoulders and entirely free from throat-
iness; the shoulders long and fine and sloping well into the back.
The legs should be perfectly straight, with plenty of good, round,
solid bone and well covered with hair; the feet round and compact,
with good thick pads; the coat hard, dense and wiry, moderate in
length, and not so long as to hide the outlines of the body, neither
wavy nor inclined to curl, and without the slightest suspicion of
silkiness or linty color; the color black on the saddle and a rich
golden tan on the head and legs. The back should be short, firm
and strong, with level top, and the tail set on rather high and car-
ried gaily. The ribs should be well sprung and the chest deep but
not broad. The hind quarters, strong and muscular and rather
long from the hip to the hock.

hard, and full of dash and fire, fit and ready for any kind of sport
—in a word, an Airedale Terrier should look what he really is, both
a sportsman and a gentleman.

BREEDERS AND THE BREED
IN AMERICA

BY ARTHUR BOTHWELL PROCTOR

THE Airedale Terrier is one that has shown, from the first real-
ization of his sterling worth, a rapid gain in popularity, and the
breed is now, both in point of numbers and popularity, easily the
first of all the Terriers.

This is as it should be, for I think it fair to say, without undue
bias, that a greater all-round dog does not exist; one who is first of
all a real pal and an ideal children’s companion, a watch-dog with-
out equal, with unusual discretion, generally good-natured under
extreme provocation with both man and beast, but game to the core
when aroused; a natural-trained vermin destroyer and hunter; in
fact, the beau ideal of a gentleman’s dog in a country place, or a
farmer’s pal and house protector.

The Airedale Terrier generally is conceded to have been first
imported about the year 1880, and the first dog shown was one
named Bruce, owned by Mr. Mason, and we believe the next in the
field was Mr. Harry Lacy, who showed two in 1881.

Little, if any, activity in the breed was shown and no classes
were given for this Terrier until the New York Show of 1898, when
Mr. J. Lorillard Arden (who, amongst others, imported and owned
Clonmel Marvel, Clonmel Veracity, and Rockferry Pounder) en-
tered the field, quickly followed by Mr. A. De Witt Cochrane with
Barkerend Lillian, Clipper, and Hastings Mona; Mr. P. Mallorie
and Mr. J. Hopkinson with Rustic Jill and Broadlands Brushwood ;
Mr. Silas Wodell, Mr. J. Carver and Mr. W.S. Todd with Ryecroft
Jennie, and Mr. Wm. C. Hill with Ainsflyer Deputy.

Then, in 1900 and 1901, the nominations of Mr. Clement Newbold,
Briar Vampire, Broadlands Bilbury and Clonmel Monarch, were
imported, and through the last-named dog, who created a sensation
at that time and could probably worry the best to-day, an interest
was aroused in Philadelphia and vicinity that has never abated.

CH. BOLTON WOODS BRIAR
A. K. C.S. B. 76,088
By Odsal Crack ex Studholme Floss

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 107

Monarch produced many champions and first prize winners, did an
immense amount of good at stud, and his blood is the backbone of
the Philadelphia strains of to-day, and through the bitch side is
particularly good blood in a pedigree. Champion Farleigh Mikado,
by Crosswicks Dandy, was probably the best Mr. Newbold bred.

About this time Mr. Russell Johnson imported Hastings Duster,
a bitch who did quite a bit of winning and produced some good
stock. He afterwards brought out Red Hackle and Champion Red
Sunlight, and in 1907 bred Red Raven, who was himself a splendid
producer.

Very shortly after, ‘‘The Sage of Chestnut Hill,’? Mr. William 8.
Barclay ; Mr. Albert Harker, and Mr. Thos. Cadwalader took on the
breed, followed by Mr. Lynford Biddle and Mr. W. H. Whittem.

Mr. Barclay bred Champion Wyndhill Tackle and Champion the
Gamecock, and | think Wyndhill Vandal, who sired three Cham-
pions, though not reaching that pinnacle himself, and his enthu-
siasm is as great to-day as when he first started, and he has done
much to foster interest in the breed in Philadelphia and vicinity.

Mr. Lynford Biddle got a bitch by Master Briar from Dr. Jarrett,
named Dumbarton Vixen, a real good one herself, from whom came
Champion Babs; she in turn, bred to Ch. The Gamecock, produced
Ch. Chorister, and bred to Chorister, produced Ch. The Norseman,
one of the best American-breds of any time. Vixen, when bred to
Ch. Clonmel Monarch, produced Ch. the Marchioness.

Mr. Cadwalader, with Choir Girl, a litter mate of Chorister, and
bred to Jack, a litter brother to Babs, produced Chorus Girl, who
was a winner and producer of winners in each litter, and who,
mated to Kilearn Oorang, produced Cactus, a recent winner.

Of the more recent entrants around Philadelphia, Mr. Wm. H.
Mulford, Mr. Joseph Sims and Mr. Andrew McCrea, the first men-
tioned, with the kennel name of Hedgeley, has brought out Chs.
Hedgeley Flare, Flash and Flicker, and the more recent winner,
Abbey Sultana.

Mr. Foxhall Keene, with Chs. Clonmel Bed Rock and Clonmel
Coronation, and Mr. Theodore Offerman were among the first New
Yorkers to get into the game, and the last named, with the prefix
of ‘‘York,’’ has done and is doing his best to keep the interest in
the breed at a fever heat. The first dog he brought over was Clon-
mel Floriform in 1904, and, amongst others, he has imported Ch.
York Sceptre, Ch. York Masterpiece, Arcadia, Ch. Bolton Woods

108 THE COMPLETE STORY

Briar, Ch. York the Conqueror and Ch. Prince of York. <A few of
his breeding are Ch. York the Hayseed, by Masterpiece; Ch. York
the Haymaker, who, no longer a youngster, can make the best of
them hustle to-day, he being by The Hayseed out of Ch. York Vic-
toria, and his latest home-bred, York The Past Master, by Isonomy,
the puppy who took winners at New York last year. Mr. Offerman
is ever ready with advice or assistance to the novice, is a liberal
supporter of the shows, and one of the most able amateur judges.

Mr. J. H. Brookfield, with Kismet Rockferry Pounder and Ch.
Kismet Flashlight; Mr. Perry Tiffany; Mr. W. S. McCoomb, with
Rowsley Sultan and Regina; and Mr. E. 8. Woodward, with Delph
Girl and Tone Tackler, were all of about this second period.

In the period between 1902 and 1905, Mr. John McGough (who
owned Ch. Bolton Woods Briar, Ch. Harry Jones, Uncle Sam,
Lady Mary and Goldheels, all but the first being home-bred)
was among the first; and Mr. W. E. Baker, Jr., who has owned Ch.
Tanglewold Una, Pretty Florrie, Brosna Bacchante, and Tangle-
wold Briar Test; Mrs. M. E. Gates, Jr., with Ch. Lillian Jones; Mr.
Jennings, with Rough and Tumble and Tintern Marjorie; and
Messrs. Bunnell and Boorum, of the Burnley Kennels, all entered
the game about the same time.

Mr. Andrew Albright, Jr., with such terriers as Ch. Tintern
Royalist and Ch. King Oorang, and such bitches as Baughfell
Heather and Baughfell Sceptre; Mr. John Murray, who bred Ch.
Briars Masterpiece and Ch. Long Hill Peggy, and owned York
Vixen, the dam of both these terriers; Mr. Edmund Evans, who
owned that good American-bred Hot; Mr. 8. C. Denby, with Ch. the
Marchioness and Tanglewold Briar Test; Mr. A. B. Dalby, with
Long Hill Doris; and Miss Catherine Cameron were the most promi-
nent amongst the breeders and exhibitors at this time.

In the last seven years most of the above have remained actively
in the game, and Mr. Daniel Riker, with John Harvard; Mr. J. N.R.
Bryant, with Ch. Tanglewold Una; Mr. R. P. Orcutt; and Mr. How-
ard Ehrich, with Ch. Lancrofte Dawn, are among the more recent
recruits. And still later, the late Mr. Geo. Batson (who, with Mr.
Offerman, imported Ch. Prince of York and Ch. Soudan Sapphire,
and afterwards, alone, brought over Ch. Soudan Swiveller and Ch.
Soudan Stamboul) made a place and name for himself in the
fancy, and did much to boom the breed he thought so much of.

The ‘‘Down Easters’’ were ably represented by Mr. Arthur

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 109

Merritt, with the kennel name of Hastings, who imported Dumbarton
Ranger, Clonmel Majesty, Ch. the New King and others, and bred
that good terrier Ch. Prince Hal; Mr. Philip French, with Amaze-
ment; Mr. Robert Jordan, with Lance Corporal Smythe, Ch. Larch-
mere Bittersweet, Ch. Larchmere Mistress Magnet and Larchmere
Proudprince; Mr. Geo. West, with the prefix of Gamecock; Mr.
Fisher Ames, with Ch. Pilgrim Yellow Jacket; Mr. Jas. W. Spring
and Mr. Jas. T. Leyland.

Last but not least come the Kenmare Kennels, owned by Mr.
William Prescott Wolcott, containing Ch. Soudan Swiveller, Ch.
Soudan Stamboul, Ch. Kenmare Sorceress, Ch. Princess Royston
Tess, Soudan Sapphire (Ch. Springbank Diamond in England),
and the American-bred bitch Bothwell Sorceress, a daughter of
Ch. Kenmare Sorceress, in all a team hard to duplicate.

Going over the long list of names of other breeders of the early
days, one comes across Mr. Matthew Morgan, with Acrington Crack ;
Mr. Monson Morris, with Clonmel Bed Rock and Coronation; Mr.
J. H. Brookfield, with the Kismet strain; Mr. John Walton, with
Dumbarton Ranger and Lord Raglan; Mr. Daniel Buckley, of Clips-
dale fame, with Bronside Monarch and Bolton Woods Blossom;
Mr. W. J. Burgess, with Rustic Teddy and Royston King; Dr. Jar-
rett, with Dumbarton Vixen; and others.

The West did not start to join the fancy until after the East was
well started, but in enthusiasm, as in point of numbers, they cer-
tainly have the palm to-day, and if the great majority of the far
Westerners do not breed more dogs that come up to Eastern stand-
ards, it is because their interest in this breed leans to the utility
side of the Airedale rather than to the show side.

Mr. Earle J. Woodward, of Chicago, was one of the first to take
on the breed; and Mr. Ralph Condee with Tiger Monk, Mr. Edwin
A. Munger, Mr. Elbridge Haney, Mr. Francis G. Porter, Mrs.
Crawford and C. H. Perrin, the last two showing under the kennel
name of Vickery, are the leaders around about Chicago.

The rivalry between Mr. Porter’s kennels, containing, amongst
others, Champion Freeman Terror, Ch. Clonmel Isonomy, Ch. Ab-
bey King Nobbler, Abbey Master Magic, Unexpected, Ch. Spring-
bank Sceptre, Ch. Clonmel Command, and Ch. Clonmel Imperious,
and the Vickery Kennels, who have Ch. Prince of York, Ch. Tintern
Royalist, Ch. Larchmere Mistress Magnet, Vickery Vesta, and that
sterling son of Royalist, Vickery Lodestar, is intense, and they are

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 111

ever vying with each other to purchase a better one, and both
kennels by their liberal purchases have done much to further the
best interests of the breed.

In the far West, Mr. R. M. Palmer, owner, among others, of Ch.
Matlock Bob and Ch. Lake Dell Damsel, was probably one of the
first breeders, and gets good competition when he meets Mr. Geo.
F. Downer’s dogs and bitches. The last-named gentleman, who
comes from Montana, has bred Ch. Kootenai Radiance and Kootenai
Chinook, and has just headed his kennel with Elruge Monarch, that
famous sire of Champions who has been lost to breeders through his
inaccessibility.

Mr. Downer finds a rival in the same town in Mr. Jas. G. Keefe,
of Mountain View fame; and going over the very long list of names
of breeders of the far West, one comes across Mr. Chas. P. Rockwood,
owner of the American-bred bitch Otis Diana; Mr. F. 8S. Dennison,
of the Chief Kennels; Mr. Wm. Timmerman; and Dr. H. V. Addix,
who has just purchased that famous American-bred Terrier Ch. Red
Raven; while in California Mr. J. A. Folger, Mr. Nat. T. Messer,
who bred Ch. Thayerdale Tenny, and Dr. Toney are among the
ardent supporters of this good Terrier.

Canada has always been most ably represented in Mr. Jos.
Laurin, and the prefix ‘‘Colne’’ is known wherever the Airedale
Terrier is known and shown. A few of his importations are Ch.
Dumbarton Lass, Colne Lucky Baldwin, Ch. Master Royal, Ch.
Mistress Royal, Ch. Freeman Terror, and Ch. Rockley Oorang—all
names to conjure with both at stud and in the show ring.

Mr. Jas. W. Baine; Mr. Joseph Perkins; Mr. Bert Swann; Mr.
McConnell, owner of Ch. McConnell’s Queen; Mr. E. W. Thorp,
with Clipstone Sunbeam; Mr. C. Cobb, with Marshall Tinner; Mr.
J. F. H. Usher, with Ch. Greystone Growler; and Dr. C. L. Parnell
are some of the many gentlemen in Canada who have manifested
great interest in the breed.

The years of 1911 and 1912 are record ones in the breed; in the
former more Airedale Terriers being registered than any other
breed but two, and the New York Show bringing out 105 dogs with
204 entries.

Great difference of opinion exists among breeders here as to
whether the American-bred of to-day is the equal of, or better than,
those of five or more years ago. Be that as it may, the opinion
exists that owing to the vast number of carefully bred strains and

112 THE COMPLETE STORY

the great numbers of dogs in England, more really high type Ter-
riers are produced there to-day than we can boast of. And again,
that their dogs are the result of careful mating, both as to blood
lines and as to their general fitness, surely makes for a better aver-
age. It would seem that the English custom of putting puppies
‘‘out to walk’’ until they reach the age of six months is better for
the pups (if the walks are good), and permits the picking of the
best of each litter, both as to dogs and bitches, and is particularly
helpful in the latter case, for in this way their best are shown and
used for brood bitches.

Unquestionably it would tend to make for the good of the dog if
much of the prejudice existing in the United States against the
bitch were allayed. The average individual has an unreasonable
objection to keeping a bitch, thinking they are a world of trouble;
while, on the contrary, a bitch is much better in many respects, and
as a rule more valuable, than a dog from a monetary standpoint.
She is always the best house-dog, cleaner, sweeter-tempered, will
not be so liable to hunt and run away as will the dog, and makes a
better watch-dog for this very reason. A very little care twice a
year for a period of three weeks is all that is necessary, and from
the standpoint of value, unless the dog is an exceptional specimen,
he does not even earn his feed, while the average bitch with one
litter a year is quite profitable.

If breeders will do all they can to overcome this prejudice, put
their bitches ‘‘out to walk’’ on breeding agreements, as the writer
is always willing to do, instead of selling, it should show improve-
ment in bitches.

We are proverbially a hasty nation, and in the breeding of dogs
as in all else, with our usual haste and the desire to accomplish the
best results in the shortest period of time, will not display the .
patience, take the time, and give the study to the subject of breeding
that the English undoubtedly do. It is a question whether quite a
number of our winners are not either “‘sports’’ or correct chance
matings, rather than the result of a careful bit of breeding through
several generations of skilful selection. If you will look over the
average litter, you will best realize the truth of this statement, for
instead of six or eight Terriers, all of a general type and size,
out of which it is hard to select the best, one will see an amaz-
ing variety of all sorts, one or two standing ’way out (even
they with distinct differences of type), and their pedigrees will be

pointed to by their breeder as containing a glorious potpourri of
Champions.

On the other hand, it must not be lost sight of that there are a
number of home-breds equal to the best imported specimens, and a
number of breeders who for a long period have carefully bred their
strains along certain lines. They are the ones that are getting
nearly the same results as our English cousins, and are generally to
be found in the winners’ list at the shows. A novice breeder will
do well to acquaint himself with these strains and start his breeding
operations with bitches from them, and so at least make a right
start in the game; and also do not forget that the kennel with the
largest number of imported dogs does not necessarily contain all of
the best stock, as the little fellow who has perhaps not the price, and
in consequence has to work hard to breed his winners, may have a
number of Terriers just as good, and just as carefully bred, that,
had they the reputation of being imported, might do much better in
the show ring.

As to stud dogs, there can be little question that the scales are
heavily weighted in favor of the imported dogs; but, sad to relate,
all that glitters is not gold, and quite a number of ‘‘flat catchers’’
have been brought over from the other side, and, what is even
worse, have won largely because of that fact rather than on their
individual merits. A glance at the list of Champions of Record of
both countries shows what a drain we have made on the Mother
Country in the past two years, and the writer’s statement, which
he made in an article last year, that this should tend to make a
noticeable improvement in the home-bred in the coming year, is
being borne out by the increasing number of promising youngsters
that have been shown, commencing with the New York Show of
1912.

The average enthusiast is still paying little attention to the nat-
ural law of selection, and takes too much notice of the latest win-
ner, as one instance that has recently come to notice will illustrate.
The case in point is of two stud dogs, both imported in the past
year. One has been shown a great deal, the other very seldom since
his arrival. Both are good Terriers, though of different types. The
second, an older dog with a long bench record and an exceptional
record for getting winners, has had less than twenty visiting
bitches. The first is a young dog and has had over a hundred
bitches sent to him. Now, aside from the relative merits of these

two dogs, it is clearly on the face of it wrong, and it can be seen
that this wrong will be perpetuated; for even an inferior dog, with
so great a preponderance of opportunity, might easily show a better
but misleading record for getting winners than a superior dog with
little or no opportunity.

The writer claims this is one of the stumbling-blocks to success in
the way of the American breeder, and one of the real reasons that
we do not do better generally ; or perhaps it were better put to say
that it is extremely creditable that we have done so remarkably well
under adverse conditions.

Who knows but what we would now lead instead of following if
the American-bred stud dog had at least been given an equal oppor-
tunity with his imported brother? For no small number of them
have had some splendid get, even handicapped as they have been
by lack of opportunity ; and comparison with the lists of Champions
of Record of both countries shows that more Champions were sired
by dogs not Champions themselves than were sired by dogs who
were Champions of Record.

Of all the famous stud dogs, Clonmel Monarch holds the record,
having gotten nine English and American Champions. Then come
Master Briar, with seven; Rockley Oorang, with six; York Master-
piece and Crompton Oorang, with five; Rock Salt and Bolton Woods
Briar, with four; Endcliffe Crack, Red Raven, the Gamecock and
the New King, with three each to their credit; Crompton Per-
former, Freeman Terror, Lance Corporal Smythe, Master Royal,
Midland Royal and Matlock Bob, with two each; and Briar Master-
piece, Chorister, Motor Dace, Soudan Swiveller, Prince of York,
Riding Master and York the Hayseed, each getting one. Of the
Champion bitches, Babs had two pups that attained their Cham-
pionship ; and Long Hill Peggy, Larchmere Bittersweet, Red Sun-
light and York Victoria each had one pup that became a Champion.

Of the dogs who sired Champions and yet never attained that
honor themselves, Elruge Monarch heads the list with a get of five
Champions. Crompton Marvel and Odsal Crack got four each;
Floriform, Wyndhill Vandal and Tintern Desire, three each; Briar
Test, Briarwood, Clonmel Chilperic, Woodman Rival, Primrose King,
Crosswicks Dandy, Rockferry Test, Rockferry Bobs and Womb-
well Rattler, two each; and Blackburn Brick, Brownhill Pluto,

Another point that bid fair to split two sections of this country
wide apart was that of Weight. In consequence of a letter sent to
one of the kennel papers by Mr. Theodore Offerman, headed ‘‘Shall
the Standard be Changed ?’’, arguments as to whether the weight as
set down in the Standard was to be literally adhered to, whether it
should be left to the discretion of the judges, or whether the Stand-
ard Weight should be increased, were bandied back and forth until
the subject became rather tiresome and was no nearer settlement at
the end than the beginning.

For the benefit of English readers, I will’explain that the Eastern
breeders—which term embraces the sections in the neighborhood of
New York, Philadelphia, and Boston—have generally bred to the
Standard Weight, of course always having a preference for a good
large one with quality, rather than a good little one. The Western
faction, particularly the far Western breeders, who discovered the
value of this dog in hunting bear, wanted a Terrier (the word is
incongruous in this instance) of from 50 to 70 pounds, who in con-
sequence of his greater weight was more successful for their pur-
poses than one nearer the Standard of 40 to 45 pounds; and it was
manifestly impossible to breed so large a dog, all at once, with the
needed quality, and the big, coarse Terrier was sure to go down
before the smaller or Standard quality ones in the competition of
the show ring. Thus a certain amount of dissatisfaction was ap-
parent.

Not that the Westerners do not appreciate quality, but finding
out the natural aptitude and wonderful head work and discretion
displayed by this great Terrier in a new field of sport (and one for
which he was surely not bred), they at first hand, and without due
thought, allowed their desire to run away with their judgment.

Instead of repeating what the owners of the English Wire-haired
Black and Tan Terrier did when he was found too small for the
work he was being used for, and evolving a new breed by crosses

with another breed for size, they figured that by breeding size to
size the same would be quickly accomplished, and they got results
as to size, but it was at the sacrifice of quality and Terrier confor-
mation.

Notwithstanding the interest in this matter, there was a notice-
able inclination to dodge the issue until a resolution was introduced
by the late Mr. George Batson at the yearly meeting of the Aire-
dale Club of America, which was passed, calling on the President of
the Club, Mr. Johnson, to appoint a Committee to report in two
months as to the sense of the breeders at large on a change in the
Standard Weight.

This Committee, consisting of Mr. William Mulford, Mr. Philip
French and Mr. John McGough, made a report based on the opinion
of forty-two members as against a change; Mr. McGough refusing
to sign the report sent him on its completion, claiming that ‘‘the
Committee should have gone more thoroughly into the subject.’’
This subject, thus whitewashed, is left in its original state to crop
out again and cause trouble at some future time.

As to judges, we are evidently in much the same strait that the
English are, judging by the controversy in the English kennel
papers of late. Owing to a prejudice against the professional, and
possibly a lack of timber or inclination in the amateur ranks, consid-
erable criticism has resulted.

The professional judge, if conscientious and honest, should be as
good as the amateur, if for nothing else than because it is his pro-
fession. He should make more of a study of the dog and see more
of the shows than does the amateur (who is generally showing his
own dogs) ; and as serious mistakes affect his living, his judgments
should be more careful. As in any body, there are always some not
above reproach, it would perhaps be better if the A. K. C. licensed
them; and with the chance of being ‘‘put on the carpet’’ and dis-
qualified, there would be very little left to criticise.

The amateur sometimes looks on his errors in the light of a joke,
does not feel called upon to explain his placings, and feels a con-
tempt for his brother professional, yet he is just as hable to be
swayed by either friendship or the fact that he has sold some of the
dogs he is judging. He is the stand-by of the Bench Show Com-
mittee of the many ribbon shows, from the standpoint of economy ;
and if he can get a good entry, that is all that they are concerned
about. Also, too many are what in racing would be called ‘‘dope

fiends’’—in other words, have at their fingers’ ends the past per-
formances of the various dogs; and this is the reason that too often,
if a dog wins on his first appearance, he will continue to do so, while
if, on the other hand, he loses, it will militate against him unless he
quickly gets shown under several strong judges in succession, to
get him placed right in their dope-hooks.

There are, of course, an equal number of amateur judges as ca-
pable and able as their professional brethren, but either from lack
of inclination or because they wish to show their own dogs, they too
seldom officiate, and the incapable one is always too ready and will-
ing to don the ermine to the detriment of the breed and the game.

In conclusion, I can confidently predict that despite the judging
at the many ribbon shows—which shows are the bane of, and will
kill, the show game—and all other obstacles, this Terrier is so good
that he will survive all fads and setbacks, and year by year will in-
crease in popularity, and always be found in the forefront, both
from a monetary and a sentimental point of view.

a meeting of the Executive Committee to consider the giving of specials at
any given Show, in which event the Secretary shall call a meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee forthwith, and shall act in accordance with its wishes expressed

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 147

STANDARD

The Standard adopted by this Club is identical with the English
Standard.

The first officers of the Club were Arthur Merritt, President ;
Fisher Ames, Jr., Vice-President; and Philip French, Secretary
and Treasurer, who remained in office until the annual meeting in
April, 1911, at which time it was voted to create a new office to be
called the ‘‘Permanent Honorary President,’’ to which Mr. Merritt
was elected in recognition of, and to give permanent form to, the
Club’s appreciation of his many well known and generous services.

At this meeting George S. West was elected President; James W.
Spring, Vice-President; and Philip French, Secretary and Treas-
urer. On October 19, 1911, Mr. French resigned as Secretary and
Treasurer, and Mr. Spring resigned as Vice-President. Mr. Robert
Jordan was elected Vice-President, and Mr. James W. Spring was
elected Secretary and Treasurer.

CLUB SHOWS

The Club gave the first show ever given in America exclusively
for Airedale Terriers on October 2, 1909, at the Larchmere Ken-
nels, Hamilton, Mass. Mr. James Mortimer was the judge, and
there were fifty-four (54) dogs actually entered.

The Club has held a Puppy Show, for members only, each year
since the Spring of 1908. The first show was held at Mr. Merritt’s
place in Mattapan on May 9, 1908. There were some twenty (20)
puppies shown at this time.

CLUB SPECIALS

The Club has supported all the New England shows most gener-
ously, and has offered its specials at practically all the Eastern
shows outside of New England.

Since 1907 the Club has offered annually, at the show of the
Ladies’ Kennel Association of Massachusetts, a gold medal, open to
all. This medal was won

In 1907 by Ch. Wynton Tyke, owned by Mr. Charles F. Leland.

In 1908 by Ch. Larchmere Bittersweet, owned by Mr. Robert Jordan.
In 1909 by Ch. Pilgrim Yellow Jacket, owned by Mr. Fisher Ames, Jr.

148 THE COMPLETE STORY

In 1910 by Ch. Larchmere Mistress Magnet, owned by Mr. Robert Jordan.
In 1911 by Larchmere Style, owned by Mr. Robert Jordan.
In 1912 by Ch. Clonmel Command, owned by Mr. Francis G. Porter.

It will be noticed that until 1912 the gold medal was always won
by a member of the Club.

In 1909 the Club offered for annual competition a Breeders’ Cup,
of sterling silver, costing $75. This cup was for ‘‘the best regis-
tered Airedale under eighteen months, bred by a member of the
Club. To be won three times, and a bronze medal for each win to
go to the owner of the dog.’’ To be offered at the Boston and
Ladies’ Kennel Association of Massachusetts Shows until won.

The cup was won

In 1909 by Ch. Pilgrim Yellow Jacket, bred by Mr. Fisher Ames, Jr.

In 1910 twice by Ch. Larchmere Mistress Magnet, bred by Mr. Robert Jordan.

In 1911 by Gamecock Dazzler, bred by Mr. George S. West.
In 1911 by Larchmere Style, bred by Mr. Robert Jordan.

This last win gave the cup to Mr. Robert Jordan.

A second Breeders’ Trophy, of the same value and under the
same terms, was offered through the Club in 1912. This trophy
was won

In 1912 by Larechmere Proud Prince, bred by Mr. Robert Jordan, and by
Larchmere Mistress Briar, bred by Mr. Robert Jordan.

In the Fall of 1911 the Club offered a new trophy, to be called the
‘* «Airedale Terrier Club of New England Shield,’ for the best dog
or bitch, not necessarily American-bred, owned by a member of the
Club.’’ This shield is a perpetual challenge shield and remains in
the custody of the Club. It is to be offered each year at the New
York and Boston Shows. A Bronze Medal is given to the owner of
the dog to commemorate each win. This shield was won

At New York in 1912 by Ch. Kenmare Sorceress, owned by Mr. William P.
Wolcott.

At Boston in 1912 by Ch. Soudan Stamboul, owned by Mr. William P.
Wolcott.

The record of the names of the dogs and owners winning these
trophies is perpetuated upon a set of quartered oak panels.

The most valuable trophy which the Club owns, and which is
always offered open to all, is the ‘‘Champion the New King Bowl,”’

OF THE AIREDALE TERRIER 149

a solid silver punch bowl of simple design which is offered ‘‘for the
best dog or bitch in the show, not necessarily American-bred.’’
‘“This bowl is a perpetual challenge bowl and remains in the cus-
tody of the Club.’’ <A replica of the bowl in plate is given to the
owner of the dog winning it, to commemorate the win. The New
King Bowl was given to the Airedale Terrier Club of New England
by Mr. Arthur Merritt, its first president, just prior to the Boston
Show, in April, 1912, at which it was offered for the first time. Mr.
Merritt died shortly after the Show, and one of his last requests
was that the bowl should be offered in competition whenever and
wherever it was probable that the most representative Airedales in
the country would be shown, because in this way he hoped that the
name of no dog not worthy of championship honors would appear
upon it.
This bowl was won

At Boston in 1912 by Ch. Soudan Stamboul, owned by Mr. William P.
Wolcott.

At the Second Annual Show of the Airedale Terrier Club of America, by
Ch. Kenmare Sorceress, owned by Mr. William P. Wolcott.

The names of the winning dogs and owners are etched upon it.

The Club holds a dinner each Fall and Spring and gives a com-
plimentary dinner to the Airedale judge each year after the close of
the judging at the Boston Show, which dinner is attended by not
only all the Airedale men in town, but by all the terrier men and
judges.

There are now forty-six (46) members in the Airedale Terrier
Club of New England. The names and addresses are as follows:

entry of 104.

The second show was held May 4, 1912, with Mr. W. E. Baker,
Jr., as judge.

156 THE COMPLETE STORY

STANDARD

The Standard adopted by this Club is identical with the English
Standard, with the exception of the paragraph on size and the scale
of points.

Sizp— Dogs, 40 to 45 pounds weight. Bitches, slightly less. This
rule will not apply to dogs or bitches under one year old.

It is the unanimous opinion of the Club that the size of the Aire-
dale Terrier as given in the above Standard, is one of, if not the
most important characteristics of the breed; all judges who shall
henceforth adjudicate on the merits of the Airedale Terrier shall
consider undersized specimens of the breed severely handicapped
when competing with dogs of the standard weight. And that any
of the Club’s judges who, in the opinion of the committee, shall give
prizes or otherwise push to the front dogs of a small type, shall be
at once struck off the list of specialist judges.

EprrortraL Note—The above exception regarding pups does not really mean a
change in the Standard, for it is obvious that the weight of a puppy should be
less than that of a grown dog, and the standard weight is always interpreted
as that of a dog at maturity, in fit condition.

In the scale of points it will be seen that as many points are allowed for the
head and neck as the English Standard allows for head, neck, shoulders and
chest, and only half as many points are allowed for legs and feet and half
as many points for color.

STANDARD

The Standard adopted by this Club is identical with the English
Standard, with the exception of the paragraph on size which is
added below.

S1zE— Dogs, 40 to 45 pounds weight. Bitches, shghtly less.

It is the unanimous opinion of the Club that the size of the Aire-
dale Terrier as given in the above Standard, is one of, if not the

158 THE COMPLETE STORY

most important characteristics of the breed. All judges who shall
henceforth adjudicate on the merits of the Airedale Terrier shall
consider undersized specimens of the breed severely handicapped
when competing with dogs of the standard size.1

In reference to the last paragraph of the Standard, it is the opin-
ion of this Club that the Airedale Terrier is not governed by weight,
for the Standard calls for a dog with plenty of substance, and
therefore an Airedale Terrier may be of the proper size and good
to look at, and weigh easily 10 pounds over 45 pounds. We in Cali-
fornia expect the Airedale Terrier to do some pretty tough things,
and a dog that only weighs 45 pounds has not a chance in the
world with a good-sized cat or a coon. On the other hand, I have
seen dogs weighing 50 to 55 pounds do the work much better than
dogs that weigh 40, as far as alertness and quickness in finishing the
work required of them are concerned.

1 EprrortAL NotE—It will be seen that the word size has been substituted
for weight, and the last sentence of the Standard omitted.

TANGLEWOLD

This kennel is one of the oldest in America and has
been a consistent breeder of winning Airedales for
many years.

No other proof of any kennel’s claim to breed
high-class stock conforming to the standard of the
breed, other than the record of the stock it has bred
on the show bench, is worth consideration.

Ch. Tanglewold Una, Ch. Clonmel Monarch’s
best daughter, the sensational winner of 1909;
Tanglewold Briar Test, best American-bred brought
out in 1910; repeatedly placed reserve winners to
