INTTRODUCTTION- 
 
 The greater portion of the matter contained herein was 
 gathered by the writer without his having the remotest idea 
 of ever publishing it. The trouble entailed in hunting up 
 pedigrees of dogs from such books as the English Stud-Book 
 (a rather peculiar name to be applied to a book about dogs, 
 "stud" meaning a collection of horses), the A. K. C. Stud- 
 Book and the American Kennel Register, in all of which 
 the pedigrees and winnings are so scattered and indifferently 
 arranged that they cannot be easily or satisfactorily got at, 
 first induced the writer to arrange for his own use and as 
 a means of quicker reference, the pedigrees, winnings and 
 winning produce of most of the important pugs both in 
 America and England; and it was upon an occasion when 
 he had to refer thereto to settle a question between two 
 friends that the suggestion was made that he should publish 
 it. Aftei considerable thought he concluded to do so, adding 
 to the list all pugs which have won a prize in America at 
 a recognized show, dams of noted winners and about twenty- 
 five good pugs of England. 
 
 In collecting information the writer has experienced great 
 difficulty in getting replies to many of the letters he has 
 written to owners, and especially has this been the case with 
 many English fanciers. 
 
 Blanks were sent to the owners of the most famous dogs 
 in England, with stamped and directed envelope for reply, 
 
^ INTRODUCTION. 
 
 asking for the pedigrees, winnings and winning produce of 
 their dogs, hut only about one-half of them replied. On 
 mentioning this to an English gentleman he exclaimed: "Oh, 
 you do not understand them; you should have held out that 
 you wanted to buy their dogs and you would have got all 
 the information you wanted, and more, too." 
 
 At this point the writer wishes to thank those who did 
 respond by sending accounts of their dogs and assisting him 
 while in England to obtain information respecting others, 
 and more especially is he under obligations to Miss Holds- 
 worth, Miss Berrie, Mrs. Foster, Mr. Griffith, Mr. Weekley, 
 Mr. Linton and Mr. Brittain. 
 
 There is in this work very little which the writer claims 
 as original except the idea and method of compiling in- 
 formation from different dog books and reports of vShows, 
 a little from this source and a little from that, the whole 
 forming a means of easy reference on questions relating to 
 the pedigrees, winnings and winning produce of the best 
 known pugs of America and England, with a brief pedigree 
 of all dogs that have won a first prize at shows recognized 
 by the American Kennel Club, and a list of their winnings 
 and winning produce. Pugs which have never been shown 
 do not come under consideration in these pages, and it 
 would not do to infer that all the best pugs of America and 
 England are mentioned herein, because many good dogs are 
 owned by persons who decline to show them on any account. 
 
 A separate chapter has been inserted pertaining to the 
 general show history of the pug in America, commencing 
 with the New York show of 1879, and closing with the Fall 
 shows of 1889. 
 
 The English pug standard, as well as the standard given 
 by Stonehenge will be found herein, as well as other articles 
 which the writer considers will be of interest to the owners 
 of pugs. 
 
THE PUG DOG. 
 
 ORIOIN OK XHK F»UG. 
 
 The pug dog has been bred for so long a time that 
 its origin is lost in antiquity, and at the present day is 
 unknown. Many surmises have been made by writers on 
 the question, but no one has as yet given anything like 
 a plausible idea of its origin ; it is claimed the name is 
 derived from the Latin word pugnus, signifying a fist, from 
 the resemblance that the shadow of a clenched fist has 
 to the head of the dog. Amongst the old carvings of 
 dogs in Japan and China there are many which in appear- 
 ance so nearly resemble the pug of to-day as to make it 
 seem likely that the breed dates back to very ancient times 
 and may have had its origin in either of these countries. 
 A further curious coincidence struck the writer in looking 
 over the list of recent winning dogs, both of Kngland and 
 America, amongst which are Tum-Tum II, Comedy, Little 
 Count, Duchess of Connaught, Countess, Dowager, Joe (Zulu 
 II), Max, Bessie, Kash, and others. We find they have in 
 their pedigrees a dog named Lamb, which, according to the 
 English Kennel Club Stud-Book, was "captured in Pekin." 
 Can it be possible that this dog originally came from China, 
 and that the infusion of new blood has produced the good 
 points shown in his descendants? If this is so, would it 
 not be well for some enthusiastic breeder to procure another 
 "capture" (is this another name for stealing?) from Pekin? 
 Certainly it would pay if equally as good results could be 
 obtained as from the former capture. But then may not 
 Lamb have been taken to Pekin from either England or 
 America ? 
 
lo THE PUG DOG. 
 
 The pug is often spoken of at the present time as a 
 cross between the bull dog and a species of Japanese spaniel, 
 but the breed shows no evidence of such a cross either in 
 shape, color, or disposition. It has been brought to its 
 present foria like most varieties of domestic animals — ^by 
 a long process of selection. The popularity of the pug ran 
 to an extreme between the years 1870 and 1883, during 
 which time not only good, but many inferior specimens 
 were bred, sold and exhibited. At the present time, although 
 there is not so great a demand as formerly for this breed 
 by those who follow the caprice of fashion, there will be 
 more care taken in breeding, and while the number at 
 the exhibitions may decrease, the quality of those shown 
 will increase. 
 
 The following article on the pug dog appeared in the 
 Knglish Kennel Gazette, in 1885, which, however, can hardly 
 be allowed to pass unchallenged, and such comments as are 
 deemed necessary are placed within brackets: 
 
 "Until within very late years it would have been quite 
 impossible to form anything like a pedigree table of the pug 
 family, but this was not because there w^as any want of 
 antiquity in the breed, or because it was of recent manu- 
 facture, as all its associations point to exactly the opposite 
 direction. It is possibly the most aristocratic breed in the 
 whole Stud-Book, the belonging of lords and ladies, and 
 always cared for with so much zealous guarding as to have 
 precluded the chances of being crossed with plebian strains. 
 It has so existed for a period to be counted almost by 
 centuries, but no one kept any record of pedigrees, and 
 when the shows became prominent institutions, it was the 
 fashion to talk of Mr. Morrison's strain, said to have been 
 procured from the royal household, and with Willoughby 
 d'Eresby breed, but the public had simply the names of 
 a few from the above sources, together with others without 
 
ORIGIN OF THE PUG. n 
 
 any stated pedigrees. The first volume of the Stud-Book 
 makes mention of sixty-six pugs, and it is notable that 
 those specified as winners were for the most part without 
 pedigrees ; there was Mr. J. Smith's Victor, winner of first 
 prize Birmingham, first Crystal Palace, first prize Manchester, 
 and first at many other shows ; Mr. A. Jardine's Punch was 
 another, and Mr. H. Gilbert's Blondin was a third big winner 
 recorded without a pedigree, but stated to have been bred 
 by Mr. Morrison. 
 
 "There was also Mrs. A. D. Clark's Chang, a winner of 
 first at Crystal Palace, and Mr. C. Banford's Prince, first at 
 Islington and first at Birmingham. Mr. Hayne's Mungo 
 was a good winner, and his pedigree is given as by Lord 
 d'Eresby's Ruby, son of Romeo, out of his Lordship's 
 Cora, but no great amount of merit as seen in the present 
 day can be traced to those old champions, and the pillars of 
 the pug Stud-Book must be taken from winners of a later 
 date, and their ancestors were not the early prize takers, 
 though at the same time the value of their blood has been 
 stamped by the regularity with which the best pugs of the 
 day have descended from them; as, for instance, there is 
 the late Mrs. Monck's Sambo (6764), and he is described 
 as by William's Bill out of Darling's Topsy, by Angelo out 
 of old Topsy. None of the names anterior to Sambo have 
 any record as winners, but from Sambo sprang Banjo, sire 
 of Lovat, sire of Mrs. Foster's Champion Diamond and 
 Bradford Ruby. Here are four generations of first-class 
 winners. 
 
 [This could now be extended through Bradford Ruby 
 to Little Count, Little Countess, Kash, Punch VIII and 
 others, and through Little Count to Little Marquis and 
 others.] 
 
 "So Sambo is entitled to be called a pillar of the Stud- 
 Book. The last volume of the Stud-Book, No, 12, gives a 
 
12 THK PUG DOG. 
 
 good account of this line, as there is Bradford Ruby by 
 Lovat, Diamond by Lovat and Punch VIII by Bradford Ruby, 
 whilst Diamond is credited with a recent winner in Ikey Mo. 
 A beauty of this line has been that they are not too big. 
 Both Lovat and Banjo were charming little pugs, and 
 although Diamond and Bradford Ruby are somewhat bigger 
 they are very handsome and perfect in points and brea 
 carefully with small bitches in-bred to the right sort, the 
 best of prize winners and perfect size pets might be expected. 
 The line would be as follows: 
 
 Mrs, Monck's Sambo, bred 1874, 
 Banjo (9640) 
 Lovat (12,073) 
 
 Diamond. Bradford Ruby. 
 
 Punch VIII. [Uttle Count. Kash (America.) ] 
 "The nice size of the above line might have come down 
 both from Sambo and the dam of Banjo — namely, Blossom — 
 as she belonged to Mr. E. Field, and all that gentleman's 
 pugs are small-sized. 
 
 "The 5'ear 1874 must be marked as a notable one in 
 pug Stud-Book statistics, as, besides the above-named Sambo, 
 there was whelped at nearly the same time Mr. H. Maule's 
 Tragedy, and in the male line he was, like Sambo, descended 
 from dogs with no winning record — being sired by Noble's 
 Tichborne, but on his dam's side there was a strain which 
 has seemingly done more for the pug family than almost 
 any other. We refer to Mrs. Laura Mayhew's Click, de- 
 scribed as by Lamb — imported from Pekin— out of Moss, 
 and we have understood that the latter was a Willoughby 
 d'Kresby bitch. The dam of Tragedy was by Click, and 
 the Tragedy strain is now an important one, as Tragedy is 
 the sire of Mrs. Booth's Comedy, a champion dog, and sire 
 of Bosco, sire of Mr. W. Griffith's Stingo. Comedy is also 
 
ORIGIN OF THE PUG. 13 
 
 sire of Young Comedy. The Tragedy line would appear as 
 follows: Tragedy, (bred in 1874)— Comedy (7767)— Bosco 
 (15,669)— Stingo (16,370). 
 
 "The above line has produced representatives much largei 
 than those of the Sambo line, but pug points, especially in 
 head properties, are very marked in the descendants of 
 Tragedy. 
 
 "A very fashionable line of late has come down from a 
 dog also bred in 1874, and, like those mentioned above, 
 by a dog unknown to show fame. This dog is Max (7769), 
 late Punch, bred by Mr. Smith and got by Sam out of 
 Rose. Max is tiie sire of Tum-Timi and the still more 
 celebrated Tum-Tum II. As in the case of Tragedy, their 
 dam was a Click bitch, but Max is the sire also of Master 
 Tragedy, so that he has shown his aptitude to get winners 
 out of different bitches. His fame, however, will be 
 transmitted through Tum-Tum II, one of the best pugs 
 ever bred, and the sire of numerous winners. The line 
 commencing with INIax would be: Max (bred in 1874)— 
 Tum-Tum II (8743)— Velvet (15,671)— Beau (14,692)— Rum 
 ti-Tum (16,411). 
 
 "With the above three winning dogs springing from 
 Tum-Tum II, there is every promise of extensive line 
 from Max, which in addition had also Master Tragedy and 
 others to increase it. 
 
 [INIaster Tragedy was imported to America, where he is 
 very little thought of and has practically no winners here]. 
 "There are also a great many beautiful little bitches by 
 Tum-Tum II, and the latter in years to come may be looked 
 back to as a "pillar of the Stud-Book" to a greater extent 
 than his sire Max. 
 
 "To trace back as far as anything to a winning gen- 
 eration is Mrs. Booth's Boffin, as his sire is Peter (4705). 
 Peter took first at Nottingham, and was got by Mr. Boyle's 
 
14 THE PUG DOG. 
 
 Punch out of the prize bitch Edith. Another Peter, how- 
 ever, has the appearance of belonging to a more lasting 
 strain, as Mr. Field's Young Peter was got by Peter (a son 
 of Punch and Bettie), and this Young Peter, who won at the 
 Alexander Palace as a puppy, now appears as the sire of 
 Mr. Weekley's Atlas, sire of the Rev. H. G. Williams' 
 Peter Minor. 
 
 "The Sooty strain deserves full mention, as a lot of 
 winners have sprung from it, and its ancestry traces very 
 nearly direct from the pedigrees recorded in the first volume 
 of the Stud-Book. Mr. J. Lewis Sooty (6766) was got by 
 Jumbo, son of Ruby, son of Bishop's Pompey, Jumbo taking 
 second prize at Birmingham in 1873. Sooty himself won 
 most of the leading prizes, and he is the sire of Sooty 
 Junior, Smutty, Sooty III and Young Sooty. With the 
 progress in high breeding within the last ten years, many 
 of the pug strains are now well established, and the last 
 volume of the Stud-Book (No. 12) will show that the 
 strains enumerated in this paper are all very well repre- 
 sented. But there is good proof that the pug family is so 
 large and that it has been kept so pure by others than 
 those who have bred for show, as to exceed in its resources 
 almost any other breed to be found in the Stud-Book. An 
 instance of this is given in a very perfect little pug of the 
 present day, namely Mr. W. h. Sheffield's Stingo Sniffles, 
 by his owner's Jingo — So-So, whose pedigree is stated in 
 the Stud-Book to be unknown. There are other recent 
 winners by dogs with no public record and with only what 
 may be called private pedigrees; but that they are perfectly 
 bred is shown by their produce. Pug breeders have beauti- 
 ful ground to exercise their skill upon, and there is not a 
 more interesting or satisfactory breed to take up than 
 these blue-blooded little companions of rank and fashion." 
 
 [Another pillar of the pug family might be extended to 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 15 
 
 America. Punch, owned by Mr. T. Morris Bolton, England, 
 sired by Lord Willoughby's Jumbo, was a good winner 
 1876 to .. 1878. He sired Linton's Liz and Champion 
 Roderick of America. Roderick sired Champion Max, 
 Doctor and other winners, while Max sired Champion 
 Dude, and the latter's offspring at this writing promise to 
 be well in the front rank of winners. Example: Bob Ivy, 
 the most successful winning pup ever shown in America. 
 It might be claimed that this successful strain came through 
 imported Dolly, who was sired by Toby, out of Liz by Punch; 
 Toby by Click, he again by the Pekin Lamb. Dolly is the 
 dam of Champions Max, Bessie and Dude and of Doctor, 
 Daisy, Vixen and Myrtle, all well-known winners.

I^ THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 BRBKDING. 
 
 The general rule to be followed in breeding the pug 
 is similar to that followed in breeding any other variety of 
 domestic animals. The breeder, to commence with, should 
 have a standard or ideal animal, the like of which he desires 
 to produce, and the shape of the face, head, eyes, ears, 
 neck, body, back, tail, legs, feet, the coat, color and general 
 carriage should be firmly fixed in his mind. The next 
 thing to do is to produce animals which come nearest to 
 this ideal. There is a general law in nature that "like 
 begets like," and to a great extent this is true, more 
 particularly so where the same characteristics have existed 
 for many generations, for their certain traits will be trans- 
 mitted from the parents to their offspring. A case in point: 
 Those who remember Champion Roderick or have read the 
 criticisms upon him, well know he had very weak hind 
 legs, especially in the hock. Max, his son, has the same 
 defect, not quite to so great an extent, but so marked that 
 one of our best pug judges said he could swear he was a 
 Roderick pup, and for this defect he was set back more 
 than once. His son. Champion Dude, grandson of Roderick, 
 is justly spoken of by Mr. Mason in Forest and Stream, as 
 "hind legs much too straight, especially from hock down." 
 Thus it will be seen "like begets like," but at the same 
 time defects can be decreased. 
 
 It is more difficult to get rid of bad points than to 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 17 
 
 produce good ones, therefore it behooves a breeder at the 
 commencement to select the best specimens he can possibly 
 procure. It is seldom that good dogs, when both parents 
 are good, do not produce good pups, but if their offspring 
 are bred again to dogs which are close akin, it will be 
 found that they breed back to their grandparents. It is 
 an established fact that where the above conditions have 
 been carried out the produce have been more like grand- 
 parents than parents. A good rule to follow is to ascertam 
 how an animal which you fancy, has been bred, and then 
 if possible to breed in the same manner; for instance, if 
 you find a Bradford Ruby bitch has produced dogs you like 
 when bred to Champion Joe, it is well to follow it up. 
 If you cannot reach Joe, use a dog as near his blood as 
 you can get. It is a better rule to breed to the sire of 
 winners than to a winner. 
 
 If the reader will look over the pedigrees, which are 
 given in tabulated form to assist in studying this point, he 
 will see that many of the best and winning pugs are closely 
 in-bred. Take Bradford Ruby as an instance. His mother 
 was Champion Jennie, and his grandmother on his sire's 
 side was Champion Jennie. In other words Lovat was bred 
 to his own mother to produce Bradford Ruby and Champion 
 Diamond of England. Champion Dude was bred in a similar 
 manner when Dolly was bred to Max, he being her son. 
 
rS THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 UTTILnrY OF TTHK F»UG. 
 
 The question is often asked in a captious manner, of 
 what utility is the pug? Such people as accompany this 
 inquiry with a sneer are sufficiently answered by other 
 questions. What is the utility of your diamond pin ? Silk 
 hat ? Fine clothes, etc. ? The pug is as useful as any other 
 fancy dog or animal. Besides its value as a fancy, it is a 
 good, intelligent watch dog, ever on the alert for an in- 
 truder, a faithful companion, affectionate in disposition, 
 and, having a fine smooth coat, is easily kept clean in the 
 house, while with a little attention given to its teeth, its 
 breath is as free from odor as that of any other dog. Pugs 
 are easily trained, and are as a rule partial to children, 
 though some object to having the curl taken out of their 
 tails by a two-year-old tease. It has been said they are 
 stupid, but such is not the case, and, like any other dog, 
 their intelligence depends upon the attention given them 
 by intelligent people. Bring them up among ignorant, 
 careless people or keep them away from the family, and 
 it follows that they will not display that intelligence which 
 is seen in dogs that are properly trained. Of course to the 
 sportsman, farmer or dog-fighter, a pug would be useless, 
 but as an ornamental pet he is all that can be desired. 
 
 THE PUG STANDARDS. 
 At the present time there are two standards published, 
 one by "Stonehenge" in "The Dogs of the British Isles," 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 19 
 
 and the other is the standard arranged and used by the 
 English Pug Dog Club. Neither of these standards is 
 followed out strictly by the judges of this country, although 
 there is more general harmony among them than among 
 the English judges. Mr. Kirk is the only judge who 
 scored pugs in America during the past ten years, and he 
 soon gave the practice up. 
 
 The standards are given here in their original form with 
 the comments of the writer in brackets :

 I. The Head, value 10, should have a round monkey- 
 like skull and should be of considerable girth, but in pro- 
 portion not so great as that of the bull dog. The face is 
 short, but again, not "bully" or retreating, the end being 
 cut off square and the the teeth must be level. If undershot 
 a cross of the bull is almost always to be relied on. Tongue 
 large and often hanging out of the mouth ; but this point 
 
20 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 is to be accepted for or against the individual. The cheek 
 is very full and muscular. 
 
 [It is not generall}^ admitted that the "modern pug" 
 has a cross of the bull dog, even though the teeth are 
 undershot ; there are many pugs with undershot teeth that 
 differ greatly from the bull dog. At the present time if the 
 tongue hangs out of the mouth it counts against the dog.] 
 
 2. The Ears, value 5, are small, vine-shaped and thin, 
 and should be moderately flat on the face ; formerly they 
 were invariably closely cropped, but this practice is now 
 quite out of fashion. They are black with a slight mixture 
 of fawn hair. 
 
 [The slight mixture of fawn hair is now considered 
 objectionable.] 
 
 3. The Eyes, value 5, are brown and full, with a soft 
 expression. There should be no tendency to weep, as in 
 the toy spaniel. 
 
 4. A Black Mole, value 5, is always demanded on each 
 cheek, with two or three hairs springing from it ; the regu- 
 lation number of these is three, but of course it is easy to 
 reduce them to that number, 
 
 [Moles are little noticed now, as they are common on 
 the heads of all dogs.] 
 
 5. Mask, Vent and Wrinkles, value 10. These mark- 
 ings must be taken together, as they all depend mainly on 
 color. The wrinkles, it is true, are parth' in the skin, but 
 over and above these there should be lines of black cor- 
 responding with them on the face and forehead. 
 
 The mask should extend over the whole face as a jet 
 black, reaching a little above the e5^es, and the vent also 
 should be of the same color. In the Willoughb)'^ strain the 
 black generally extends higher up the skull, and has not 
 the same definite edge as in the Morrison pug, in which 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 21 
 
 this point is well -hown, and greatly insisted on by its 
 admirers. 
 
 6. A iRACE, value 5, or black line is exhibited along 
 the top of the back by all perfect pugs, and the clearer 
 this is the better. As with the mask, so with this. The 
 definition is more clear in the Morrison than in the Wil- 
 loughby pug. When it extends widely over the back it is 
 called a "saddle mark," and this is often displayed in the 
 Willoughby, though seldom met with in the Morrison stram. 
 Of course, it is admired in the one and deprecated in the 
 other by their several supporters. 
 
 7. The C01.OR, value 10, of the Morrison pug is a rich 
 fawn, while that of the Willoughby is a cold stone. The 
 salmon fawn is never met with in good specimens of 
 either and is objected to. In the Willoughby the fawn 
 colored hairs are apt to be tipped with black, but in its 
 rival the fawn color is pure, and unmixed with any darker 
 shade. Of course in inter-bred specimens the color is often 
 intermediate. 
 
 8. The Coat, value 10, is short, soft, and glossy over 
 the whole body, but on the tail it is longer and rougher. 
 A fine tail indicates a bull cross. [See note on head.] 
 
 9. The Nkck, value 5, is f^^* stout and muscular, but 
 without any tendency to dewlap; which again indicates, 
 when present, that the bull-dog cross has been resorted to. 
 [See note on head.] 
 
 TO. The Body, value 10, is very thick and strong, with 
 a wide crest and round ribs. The loin should be very 
 muscular, as well as the quarters, giving a general punchy 
 look, almost peculiar to this dog. 
 
 II. IvKGS AND Feet, value 10. The legs should be 
 straight but fine in bone, and should be well clothed with 
 muscle. 
 
22 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 As to the feet, they must be small, and in any case 
 narrow. In both strains the toes are well split up, but in 
 the Willoughby the shape of the foot is cat like, while the 
 Morrison strain has a hare foot. There should be no white 
 on the toes, and the nails should be dark. 
 
 12. The TaiIv, value lo, must curve so that it lies flat 
 on the side, not rising above the back to such an extent 
 as to show daylight through it. The curl should extend 
 to a little more than one circle. 
 
 13. Size and Symmetry, value 5. In size the pug 
 should be from ten to twelve inches high — the smaller the 
 better. A good specimen should be very symmetrical.

 legs and long body are equally objectionable. 
 
 [His height should be about the same as the length of 
 his body, with nearly as much clear space under him as the 
 depth of his body just behind the shoulder. The girth of 
 his body should be about the same back of the shoulder 
 as at the flank, though the shape should be different. 
 Near the shoulder it should be deeper, like that of the 
 thoroughbred horse, while at the flank the body should be 
 round. The back should, when in good condition, be flat, 
 straight, and of equal width. 
 
 The chest is often spoken of as being wide, which is 
 good, provided the forelegs are properly placed. When 
 the forelegs are set too wide apart it gives a waddling gait 
 and ungainly action, and in order to get the feet under the 
 centre of gravity the dog turns its feet inward and turns 
 its elbows outward.] 
 
 Size and Condition.— The pug should be multum in 
 parvo, but this condensation (if the word may be used), 
 should be shown by compactness of form, well-knit propor- 
 tions and hardness of developed muscles. Weight to be 
 from thirteen to seventeen pounds (dog or bitch). 
 
 [It is said by some writers the smaller the better, which 
 is good, provided the shape and other general characteristics 
 are in proportion, along with health and vigor. As a rule, 
 however, when they are very small they have been stunted 
 and hence lose their symmetry and good health. 
 
 If the pug is simply for a house or lady's lap dog, 
 have him small by all means, but if he has to run three, 
 four or five miles a day with a gentleman then he should 
 be of a larger size. A dog of the proper size can get across 
 the streets without datjger of being run over and is a

 companiou out of doors as well as a household pet. In the 
 prize ring, however, everything else being equal, give the 
 little one the prize by all means. The writer has not seen a 
 good pug less than eleven pounds, and has seen good ones 
 at twenty-five pounds, but when a pug is over eighteen 
 pounds he ought to be debarred from taking a prize. As 
 to condition, the pug should carry a good coat of flesh, but 
 not so much as is usually seen. They should have plenty 
 of outdoor exercise, governed according to size and age, 
 say a run from one to five miles per day. The writer's 
 dogs have regular daily exercise, especially when getting 
 ready for a show, which developes and hardens muscles, 
 and success often depends upon that when the competition 
 is close. It makes them sprightly, their coats better and 
 their eyes brighter — important points in the pug, as they 
 show the general health to be good, and it "catches the 
 judge." What judge ever looked into Othello's face and saw 
 his bright eyes, though of bad color, but who disliked to 
 pass him by, though compelled to do so on account of his 
 smutty coat and weight (twenty-five pounds) ? Give your 
 pugs plenty of work and plenty of good meat. Avoid 
 sweets and fat-making food and you will have clean, healthy 
 and active dogs. The above advice would be Othello's 
 answer to the following question asked by one of our lead- 
 ing breeders and judges: "Will Othello whisper his secret 
 for preserving the blackness of his muzzle?" Most dogs 
 of his age are silvered and faded, but he is, regardless of 
 time and looks, even better with age. ] 
 
 Body — Short and cobby, wide in chest and well ribbed 
 up. [See comments on symmetry.] 
 
 Legs — Very strong, straight, of moderate length and set 
 well under. 
 
 [The pug's legs should be fine and strong in proportion 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 25 
 
 to the dog. "Straight," that is, if looking at them from 
 before or from behind, but from a side view the forelegs 
 should be straight to the pasterns, which should run a 
 little forward thus giving spring and elasticity to the fore- 
 legs. The hind legs should have moderately curved locks 
 and the pasterns slightly bent forward. The muscles on 
 the legs should be well developed and hard. The length 
 and position of the legs should be such as to conform to 
 symmetry. 
 
 FeicT— Neither so long as the foot of the hare nor so 
 round as that of the cat ; well split up toes and the nails 
 black. 
 
 [It is very strange that few remarkably good pugs have 
 black nails, and that many poor long-nosed small black-eyed 
 and fine tailed pugs have this point to perfection, as if 
 they had a cross of the black-and-tan terrier, especially since 
 with this point there is often a good trace. If the writer 
 wished to have black trace and black nails regardless of 
 other points, he would breed a pug bitch to a black-and-tan 
 terrier, as he is of opinion that after breeding the bitch 
 twice in this way the influence of the black-and-tan terrier 
 is left in her blood enough to cause her offspring, when 
 bred to a pug, to have black nails. It is best to have this 
 point, of course, and every endeavor should be made to 
 obtain it, but without detriment to othei: and more important 
 points.] 
 
 Muzzi^E — Short, blunt, square, but not up-faced. 
 
 [The length from the stop out should not exceed one 
 and one-eighth inches, regardless of the size of the dog ; a 
 twelve pound dog should not measure more than three- 
 fourths or seven-eighths of an inch. The thickness of both 
 jaws should be great and as nearly as possible the same 
 diameter at the end of the nose as at the base. The lower 
 
THE PRIZE PUGS OF ^6 
 
 jaw should be of good size and of the same length as the 
 upper, but usually it is longer, consequently the lower teeth 
 extend be3-ond the upper, making them what is known as 
 "under-shot." This is a defect, though nearly all pugs have 
 it. It becomes serious, however, when the jaw protrudes 
 beyond the upper so much that the teeth are seen without 
 opening the mouth. It is more than an eyesore, for owing to 
 the teeth not meeting, there is no natural way of keeping them 
 clean, tartar accumulating upon them and causing the dog's 
 breath to be offensive ; the gums recede from the teeth 
 ^.nd they fall out. The top line of the nose should be 
 straight from the stop to the end.] 
 
 Head — Large, massive, round — not apple-headed with 
 no indentation of the skull. 
 
 [The dome should not be high like that of the King 
 Charles spaniel.] 
 
 Eyes — Dark in color, very large, bold and prominent; 
 globular in shape, soft and solicitous in expression, very 
 lustrous and when excited full of fire. 
 
 [Set wide apart, though they should look direct to the 
 front.] 
 
 Ears — Thin, small, soft, like black velvet. There are 
 two kinds, the rose and the button. Preference is given to 
 the latter. 
 
 Markings — Clearly defined. The muzzle or mask, ears, 
 moles on cheek ; thumb marks, or diamond ; on forehead ; 
 back trace should be as black as possible. 
 
 Mask — The mask should be black. The more intense 
 and well defined the better. 
 
 [It should cover the upper and lower jaw and extend 
 up to the level of the upper portion of the orbits.] 
 
 Wrinkles — Large and deep. 
 
 [Situated on the forehead, they ought to stand out and 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 27 
 
 be well defined without the assistaace of a collar. See the 
 pictures of Champion Little Countess.] 
 
 Trace — A black line extending from the occiput to the 
 tail. 
 
 [Extending from the back of the head to the tail, or 
 even extending along the spinal portions of the tail, though 
 often brown, it should be black, and well defined, that is, 
 should not shade off into the general color of the body. 
 The trace is lacking in many of the best prize winners. 
 
 Tail— Curled tightly over the hip. The double curl is 
 perfection. 
 
 [Many good pugs carry their tails curled on the centre 
 line of the back and writers prefer it there. It is better 
 carried, as given in the "Standard." The hair on the tail 
 should be much longer and coarser than that on the body 
 of the dog,] 
 
 Coat — Fine, smooth, soft, glossy, neither hard nor 
 woolly. 
 
 [When the coat is rubbed the wrong way it should 
 give a feeling of slight stiffness.] 
 
 Color — Silver or apricot fawn. Each should be decided 
 to make the contrast complete between the color and the 
 trace and mask. 
 
28 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 Pugs of America During the Last Ten Years 
 
 In 1879 at New York there were twenty-four pugs ex- 
 hibited. Uufortunately the writer did not see them and has 
 been unable to find any record of subsequent winnings by 
 any of them. 
 
 Philadelphia Kennel Club Bench Show had five entries 
 in that year, and three judges made a display of their 
 knowledge of pugs by sending Roderick out of the ring, 
 disqualifying him for "carrying his tail on the wrong side." 
 The first prize was given to Punko, a very indifferent 
 specimen of the pug. He was never shown again. The 
 three wise men who gave him first prize did so probably 
 because the Hon. John Welsh had bought him in London. 
 Of course the United States Minister at the Court of St. 
 James would not send anything but a standard(?) pug to 
 this country, and as Punko carried his tail on the left, 
 which the judges considered the "right" side, he was 
 awarded the first and a grand special prize. Such incom- 
 petency on the part of judges was then a great obstacle 
 to the success of exhibitors of all kinds, and it was no 
 wonder that in those days of dog shows in this country we 
 had so much fault finding and so much bitter feeling exhibited. 
 At the present time, with very few exceptions, we hear of 
 no such complaints. 
 
 In 1880 the New York show was the only important 
 
PUNKO. 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 3j 
 
 t 
 one and had thirty-three entries in three classes of pngs. 
 The first prize was won by Dick, owned by Mr. Dagget, 
 of Boston. No information can be obtained as to his 
 breeding or age, although he is given in the show cata- 
 logue as "full pedigree." 
 
 He was a large coarse dog, with light markings. Im- 
 ported Roderick won second. He was of the right size 
 and well marked. His hind legs were poor, and he was 
 too light in the hind quarters. For pedigree, winnings and 
 produce see records which follow later on. In the bitch 
 class Mr. Dagget's Dolly, with "full pedigree," though un- 
 obtainable, won first ; the only prize, so far as the writer 
 can ascertain, which was ever awarded to her. Pittsburg 
 held a show in 1880, and Mr. Moore's Young Sooty won 
 first. 
 
 1881. This was the first year champion prizes were 
 offered for pugs in America, the rule then being that 
 after a dog won a first prize at a recognized show he 
 became eligible for the champion class. At New York 
 there were two entries in the champion class, Mr. Dagget's 
 Dick and young Sooty. Dick was absent and young Sooty 
 had a walk-over. Mr. Dagget's Dolly was entered in the 
 champion bitch class, but was absent. In the open dog class 
 there were twelve entries, among them imported George 
 and imported Roderick, both of Philadelphia. The coming 
 together of these dogs was the commencement of one of 
 the most marked epochs of pug showing we have ever 
 known. On this occasion Rodericik won first with Dr. 
 Niven as judge. The fair owner of George was so put out 
 over the decision that she presented the Doctor with a 
 beautifully bound volume of "Stonehenge," asking him at 
 the same time to read up the points of a pug before he 
 assumed to judge again. 
 
yj THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 1882. Pittsburg gave the first show this year. lu the 
 champion class Roderick was alone. George took first in 
 the open class, and the two dogs came together for a special 
 offered for the best ladies' dog. Mr. James Watson was judge, 
 and George won the prize, a;^ award which brought bright 
 smiles to his owner's fair face. New York came next. In 
 the champion class there were four entries, George, Ready, 
 Druid and Roderick. Mr. Watson judged, and George here 
 won his first champion prize. There were ten entries for 
 the open class, and Mr. Marriot's Snap was first, with INIr. 
 Terry's Punch second. The pedigrees of these dogs cannot 
 be obtained. The bitch class numbered ten, among them 
 being Mr. Knight's imported Efiie, one of the very best if 
 not the best bitch that has been imported. She was never 
 beaten in the bitch class, and should have won the special 
 prizes as best pug in the show. It was a great pit)' she 
 did not produce any puppies in this country. She won 
 first on this occasion, with Dr. Cryer's Dolly second, after 
 being passed without a notice the year before. This was the 
 highest place she ever reached in the ring. The great point 
 about this bitch is the remarkable number of winners she 
 produced, for which see her record. Mr. Knight's imported 
 Chloe won third prize. 
 
 At the Boston show, Roderick, George, May, and Hazel 
 Kirk were entered in champion class. Dr. Niven was judge. 
 Roderick won. Possibly the fair owner of George was still 
 in doubt as to the Doctor's ability to judge, or feared that 
 he had not taken proper advantage of the book she gave 
 him, and so would not be convinced that her dog was 
 the best. However that may be, George was absent. 
 
 At Cleveland Roderick again won in the champion 
 class, with Mr. Kirk as judge. George was entered, but 
 was not shown. Mr. Moore's May won the champion prizes 
 for bitches. 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 33 
 
 1883. Washington City held its first show this year. 
 George and Effie won first in the respective dog and 
 bitch classes. At Pittsburg, George and Roderick came to- 
 gether again for champion honors under Mr. Mortimer as 
 judge, and George got first and special as the best pug in 
 the show. The open class for dogs and bitches was divided, 
 Sambo a very poor specimen, receiving first in the dog class, 
 Joe, or Zulu II, as he was known in England, being second. 
 Joe is a grand little dog and should have been placed first. 
 He had a very peculiar history which is worth relating here. 
 Miss Elsie Lea, of England, sent out quite a number 
 of pugs to this country by a careless young man early in 
 1883. Among them were Joe and Zulu 11. The young man, 
 like Buttercup, mixed his charges up— Joe was Zulu II and 
 vice versa. The real Joe was sold to someone before the dog 
 reached Pittsburg. Zulu II was entered at Pittsburg as Joe 
 to be sold for /15. In looking over the pugs the writer 
 brought out this dog from one of those miserable foul pens 
 of the Western Pennsylvania Poultry Association, and was 
 surprised to find in him a grand cobby little dog. He put 
 him alongside of George and then Roderick and made the 
 remark to some of the fancy that Joe was one of the best 
 if not the best dog in the show. After the writer was through 
 he went to the secretary's office to claim the dog for /"is, 
 having that amount in English money in his pocket. It 
 was claimed that Mr. Elben, the secretary, had bought him. 
 The writer asked Mr. Elben to let him breed from Joe and 
 bring him East to show, but his request was refused. Strange 
 to say on arriving at the New York show a month later Joe 
 was there, entered by Mr. Mortimer (the Pittsburg judge), 
 price |iooo. In a conversation the writer had subsequently 
 with Miss Lea he ascertained that she never received any 
 money for this nor for any of the other dogs which she 
 
34 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 had sent out with the young man, and from her description 
 it is quite clear that Joe is Zulu II (B. K. C. S. B. No. 10,973). 
 It is only proper to say that Mr. Mortimer's ownership of 
 the dog was perfectly legitimate. The young man got to 
 New York and left the dog in payment of a board bill. 
 The person who had it sent word to Mr. Mortimer that he 
 had a pug dog he wanted to sell. Mr. Mortimer went to 
 see it, recognized it as Joe, paid the amount due and took 
 the dog. 
 
 At New York, George, Roderick, and Snap were entered 
 in the champion class, George again winning first, Mr. 
 Kirk being judge. His owner acting on the principle that 
 "every dog has his day," and being quite satisfied with his 
 grand record, decided that this triumph should be his "fare- 
 well appearance" in the ring. Mr. Lincoln, the superintend- 
 ent of the show, procured a laurel wreath, which was presented 
 to George, and a neat speech suitable to the occasion was 
 made in the ring before a large and appreciative audience. 
 
 In the open class Joe (Zulu II), Fritz and Tu-Tu took 
 honors in the order named. Fritz was a very good dog, 
 though much over size. His pedigree is quite doubtful. 
 Tu-Tu was of nice size, and if he had had a better muzzle, 
 his record as a winner would have been much improved. 
 
 In the open bitch class imported Jessie, Vixen, and im- 
 ported Dolly, all belonging to one kennel, won first, second, 
 and third, with Minnie May close up. Mr. Kirk, the judge, 
 scored the dogs, and a copy of his figures is given below. 
 It must be borne in mind that Mr. Kirk's scoring is only 
 a relative one in each class, i. e., the number scored in 
 one class will not do to be compared with the number 
 scored in another class. 
 
 The following table gives the score of the leading 
 pugs at the Westminster Kennel Club Show held at New

 in Stonehenge. Each class to be compared by itself:

 1884. This was a great bench show year, no less than 
 fourteen shows being held. Joe won seven championship 
 prizes out of eight competed for. Roderick took three, 
 the only times shown, Treasure two and Bo-Peep one. 
 At two shows there was no competition for championship 
 honors. Another feature of this year was the winning of the 
 American-bred pugs. At New York Roderick, Joe, Treasure 
 and Snap were in champion class. Roderick won, although 
 the judge's decision was not received with favor by some 
 of the fancy, who considered Joe the better dog. Effie was 
 
36 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 alone in the champion bitch class. Sixteen dogs were 
 entered in the open class, the winners being Max, Bob, 
 and Tu-Tu in the order named. This was the first time that 
 an American-bred pug won first at any of our leading East- 
 ern shows. Twelve bitches were entered in the open class. 
 Dutchess won first, Cryer's Dolly second, and Forest City 
 Kennels' Dolly third. 
 
 There were two shows held in Philadelphia in the Fall 
 of this year, one by the Philadelphia Kennel Club and the 
 other known as the National Breeders' Show. Roderick won 
 champion at both of them. At the former there were 
 twelve dogs in the open class, the prizes being taken by 
 Nig, Max, and Tu-Tu. There were fourteen bitches entered, 
 the prizes being won by Beauty, Gipsey, and Queen Bess. 
 Neither Nig nor Beauty ever got to the front again at any 
 show, and it is very evident that Mr. Knight, the judge, 
 made a mistake in putting these two pugs first in their 
 respective classes. At the National Breeders' Show there 
 were ten entries in the open dog class, Bob taking first, 
 Nig second, and Ned third. Max was wrongly placed V. H. 
 C. — he was a better dog than Bob. Nine bitches were entered, 
 the prizes going to Gypsey, Flossie, and Laura. 
 
 In the West, Bo-Peep, an American-bred bitch, made her 
 appearance, and was the first of the American-bred pugs to 
 win a championship. She had it all her own way in that 
 district until she was burned in the dreadful fire at Columbus, 
 January 12, 1888. Treasure, another American-bred pug, won 
 his first prize at Cleveland and champion prizes at Taunton 
 and Stafford Springs. Pudgie, also an American-bred dog, 
 won a first at Chicago ; Mr. Peck's Beauty, first at New 
 Haven ; Mr. Scott's Nelly, first at Meriden, Conn., and I,ady 
 Duffer in, first at St. Louis. 
 
 1885. This year there were several surprises in the pug 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 37 
 
 world. The first was at New York. Mr. Walter Peck, o< 
 New Haven, Conn., had, at considerable expense, imported 
 Champion Bradford P*uby, a great English winner, and 
 everybody expected he would win. Mr. Dalziel, of England, 
 had come over to judge. There were no entries in the 
 champion classes, but there were sixteen in the open class, 
 all of them being new dogs at New York. 
 
 The first prize was awarded to a dog known by the 
 common name of Punch. As common, however, as that 
 name is amongst pugs, this Punch was commoner even 
 than his name. The catalogue gives his pedigree as sire 
 Wedson's Punch, dam Grimshaw's Judy. The second prize 
 went to Victory, and the third to another Punch. Imported 
 Bradford Ruby, imported Punch, imported Othello, Punch, 
 by Jaco, dam Rosy, and Rowdy, all got V. H. C. Tootsey 
 Wootsey, not noticed at the time of .jut^gi^g* was later 
 during the show awarded equal second with Victory, a very 
 unusual proceeding unless the whole class is rejudged. 
 
 It was and is the writer's opinion that Bradford Ruby, 
 as a show dog, was worth all the dogs in the class, and 
 his subsequent record fully justifies that opinion, for he 
 was never again beaten. He won his three firsts at Cincinnati 
 and the Spring and Fall shows at Philadelphia, and was 
 withdrawn from the ring after winning the Champion and 
 Special prizes at Boston, 1887. He did not come into compe- 
 tition with Joe, George or Roderick, the latter having been 
 withdrawn from competition the year previous. 
 
 George, as previously stated, was withdrawn in 1883, 
 but his owner, however, did not seem to like the idea of 
 other dogs coming to the front whilst he lived, so she 
 concluded he should make still another "farewell appear- 
 ance," and accordingly he was entered at the Spring show 
 at Philadelphia this year and was beaten by Joe, this pro- 
 
38 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 ducing the second surprise of the year. It will be remembered 
 that at the Pittsburg show in 1883, under Mr. Mortimer as 
 judge, George took the special, beating Sambo, Joe, Roderick, 
 and Effie, and in the open class Sambo, an inferior dog, won 
 first over Joe. Now, at Philadelphia, two years later, under the 
 same judge, Joe was placed over George in the champion 
 class. It might be urged that George was out of condition, 
 but he was not. It seems more likely that Mr. Mortimer's 
 ideas of the pug dog had changed somewhat since he 
 judged at Pittsburg. 
 
 In the open dog class at Philadelphia Bradford Ruby 
 won first over the dog named Punch, which was wrongly 
 placed over him at New York by Mr, Dalziel. 
 
 The best American pug brought ought this year was Miss 
 Kitty, who was by long odds the best produce of Champion 
 George. She won first at both Spring and Fall shows at 
 Philadelphia, and at Newark, 1886. In 1887 she became blind 
 in one eye, and in the Spring of 1888 was lost or stolen and 
 was never recovered. Beauty won at New York in the open 
 bitch class. Imported Doctor and Dolores won first at Boston 
 in their respective classes ; Molly won first at Chicago ; Young 
 Toby and Tra-la-la won their first honors at New Haven, 
 and Colonel won his at Milwaukee. 
 
 1886. Champion Class. This year Bradford Ruby had a 
 walk-over for many of his champion prizes. His principal 
 wins were at New York, Boston, Hartford, New Haven, and 
 Newark. Treasure won champion at Pittsburg, Joe at Cleve- 
 land, Young Toby at St. Johns, Bo-Peep at Pittsburg and 
 Milwaukee, and Judy at Cleveland. 
 
 Open Dog Class. Master Tragedy, impprted by Mr. 
 Walter Peck, was a very much over-rated dog. He won first 
 at New York (when V. H. C. would have been good enough 
 for him), and at Boston and New Haven. He never won a

 prize afterwards. Young Toby won two firsts at Pittsburg 
 and Newark, Puck won first at Hartford, Toby at Cleveland, 
 and Thunder at St. John and Stafford Springs. 
 
 .., Open Bitch Class. This year Lady Cloudy, Lady Flossy 
 and What's That were imported. What's That won first 
 at New York, Lady Flossy at Hartford, and Lady Cloudy at 
 Winsted. Peggie was first at Cleveland, Tiney at Milwaukee, 
 Tra-la-la at Pittsburg, Pinky at Boston, Beauty at New Haven, 
 and Miss Kitty at Newark.

 Providence and Boston, and has not been shown since. 
 Max (American), won champion at Pittsburg and Phila- 
 delphia ; Bessie (American), at Pittsburg and Hartford ; Bo-

 Yuma, at New York, and What's That at Detroit. 
 
 1888. Tkis year was again marked by the winning of 
 
40 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 American -bred dogs, and also by the fact of a lady, Miss 
 Whitney, making her debut as a judge of pugs at our shows, 
 who, on account of her experience in breedmg and exhibiting, 
 gave general satisfaction by carrying her knowledge thus 
 gained into the ring. 
 
 Champion Class. Max won at New York, Philadelphia, 
 Boston, and Buffalo ; Dude, at New Haven, Richmond, and 
 St Paul ; Treasure, at Cincinnati, and Young Toby at Utica ; 
 Bessie won at New York, Philadelphia, Boston, New Haven, 
 Buffalo, Syracuse, Richmond, and St. Paul, and Vesta at 
 Toledo, No imported dog won a champion prize this year. 
 Imported Kelpie and Peggie, however, each won champion 
 prizes, but they were not eligible to compete for such 
 prizes at shows held under recognized rules. 
 
 Open Dog Class. Dude won at New York, Philadelphia, 
 Buffalo, Boston, and Syracuse ; Othello, at New Haven, 
 Washington and Utica ; Punch, at Columbus, O. ; Young Toby 
 at Troy, and Kash at Cincinnati, Toledo, Richmond and St. 
 Paul. 
 
 Open Bitch Class. Kirby Daisy, at Utica and New 
 York ; Vesta at Philadelphia, Boston, Buffalo and Richmond ; 
 Myrtle, at New Haven and St. Paul ; Victor}-, at Troy ; Vic, 
 at Washington, Toledo and Syracuse. 
 
 Messrs. Gillivan and Pitts, of Ohio, imported this year 
 Belle of the Ball. She was a winner in England, and 
 possibly might have won here had she not been so old 
 when imported. 
 
 1S89. In the Spring of this year there were more dog 
 shows than usual. Commencing with Columbus, February 
 5 to 8 ; New York, February 19 to 22 ; Troy, February 26 to 
 29 ; Albany, March 5 to 8 ; Utica, March 12 to 15 ; Rochester, 
 March 19 to 22 ; Lynn, March 26 to 29 ; Boston, April 2 
 to 5 ; Worcester, April 9 to 12 ; Chicago, April 9 to 12 (two 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 41 
 
 shows held on the same dates) ; Philadelphia, April 16 to 
 19. lu the Fall, shows were held at Toledo, Toronto, 
 Elmira, London, Ottawa, Brooklyn, and Danbury. 
 
 This year the champion class was abandoned by the 
 A. K. C. and a challenge class substituted. 
 
 In order to compete for the challenge class a dog must 
 have won three first prizes at shows recognized by the A. 
 K. C. before January i, 1889. Not having such record to 
 his credit previous to that date, then he must win four firsts 
 at similar shows before competing. A dog winning three first 
 challenge class prizes becomes entitled to the prefix of 
 champion. 
 
 The challenge prizes were won by Kash at Columbus 
 arid Toledo (for dogs or bitches) and by the same dog at 
 Philadelphia (for dogs), by Dude at New York and Chicago 
 (for dogs), by Bessie at New York, Chicago, and Elmira (for 
 bitches), by Bessie at Troy, Albany, Utica, Rochester, and 
 Danbury (for dogs or bitches). 
 
 The open dog classes were won by Lord Nelson at 
 Columbus and Chicago, Guess at New York and Philadelphia, 
 Othello at Troy, Phonafer at Albany, Bob Ivy at Utica, Elmira 
 and Danbury, Lord Clover at Rochester, Budge at Lynn and 
 Boston, Bradford Ruby II at Toledo. 
 
 The open bitch class prizes were won by Peggie II at 
 Columbus, O. ; Vic at New York, Troy, Albany and Rochester ; 
 Rustic Queen at Utica and Bo Peep II at Chicago and Toledo, 
 Judy at Ottawa, Midget at London, and Lothia at Danbury. 
 It will be seen from the foregoing that all the challenge 
 prizes and all first prizes in both dog and bitch class, except 
 three in the open dog class, were won by American-bred 
 dogs, the exceptions being Lord Nelson, imported by the 
 Acme Kennels, of Milwaukee, winning at Columbus and 
 Chicago, while Lord Clover, imported by L. S. Hudson, of 
 
42 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 Lansing, Michigan, won at Rochester. Lord Nelson had 
 to his credit in Scotland : First, Glasgow ; first, Greenock ; 
 first and special, Dalkeith ; first and special, Paisley. Lord 
 Clover won first at Barns Elms, England. 
 
 The writer was not fortunate enough to see either of these 
 dogs. They were, however, each beaten by American-bred 
 dogs. Kash won special from Lord Nelson at Columbus, 
 and Bradford Ruby II and Douglas II also beat him at Toledo, 
 while Bessie beat Lord Clover for special at Rochester. 
 
 Further notice of the imported dogs will be given in 
 the official reports of the Rochester and Chicago shows. 
 
 The improvement in the pug dog, in America, continues 
 as each year comes round, and with such breeding kennels 
 as Miss Annie Whitney's, Massachusetts ; Mr, Walter D. 
 Peck's, Connecticut ; Forrest City Kennels, Maine ; Harry 
 L. Goodman's, Illinois ; Mrs. Wheatley's, New York ; Miss 
 Bannister's, New Jersey ; Messrs. Gillivan, Pitts' and Eber- 
 hart's, Ohio ; Mr. Hudson's, Michigan ; the Acme Kennels of 
 Milwaukee, and Messrs. Fisher's and Cryer's, Pennsylvania, 
 there ought to be raised such a quality of pugs as will 
 make fair showing at some of the leading English exhibi- 
 tions, and the writer is in hopes before long of seeing some 
 American-bred dog taking a place "above the letters" across 
 the Atlantic. 
 
 Since writing the foregoing paragraph, the writer, during 
 a recent visit to England, has had the pleasure of seeing 
 an American-bred pug win * 'above the letters" at a kennel 
 club show held at Olympia, London (July, 1889). He at 
 the same time noticed that the mode of judging in England 
 is entirely different from that followed in America. *At this 
 show the first and second prizes in open bitch class were 
 awarded to Lady Crusoe and Crumpet respectively, but it 
 is his opinion that if these pugs had been judged by an 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 43 
 
 American judge their positions would have been reversed. 
 
 A question often raised in America is why dogs which 
 win at leading shows in England, seldom win at similar 
 shows on this side of the Atlantic? For it is a known fact 
 that since the Spring of 1883 many winning English pugs 
 have been imported to this country, and, with one excep- 
 tion, Bradford Ruby, they have all been beaten by American- 
 bred dogs. The writer considers that the reasons for this 
 are as follows: 
 
 First. If an English owner has two dogs, one a fairly 
 good one, and the other a high-class dog, he enters both 
 at one show, and if there are not any dogs entered in the 
 same class which can beat his second-rate dog he withdraws 
 the high-class one, leaving the poorer one to take first 
 honors. This kind of thing is worked very often, because 
 exhibitors who know they cannot beat the better dog refrain 
 from showing, although they may have far superior dogs to 
 those winning. In this way an inferior dog is bolstered up, 
 and a name made for it, and our American buyers are 
 ready to send for and purchase the dog at a big price on 
 the strength of its having won a kennel club prize, with- 
 out enquiring about the standing of the dogs with which 
 it competed. 
 
 Second. The best pugs in England seldom come to- 
 gether, one strain of dogs winning at one show, another 
 strain at another show and so on, thus increasing the number 
 of winners. In this country it is generally thought that a 
 dog winning at a kennel club show held in London has beaten 
 the best dogs in England, and, believing this, our people are 
 ready to buy it, because with us, a dog that wins in New 
 York can and does win all over America. It is the writer's 
 opinion that neither of the first winners at Olympia, London. 
 
44 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 this year could get a place (i, 2 or 3) at New York, Philadel- 
 phia, or Boston. 
 
 Third. The judges of England do not judge upon the 
 same lines as ours do. Although the English Pug Dog 
 Club has published a standard, and nearly all their judges 
 are members of the club, they do not hold themselves 
 to it. Each one has his or her own idea of the qualities 
 of a pug. In this way there is quite a jealous feeling among 
 them, which in some cases extends to bitterness. Mrs. A. 
 will not show under this judge, Mr. B. under that one, and 
 so on. If the three best pugs of England were to come 
 together under three judges, it is quite certain that they 
 would change positions with the different judges. 
 
 This could not happen if the judges were governed by 
 their standard. Such change of position seldom takes place 
 in this country. For example, Bradford Ruby never changed 
 his position of first after his first defeat, when he got only 
 V. H. C, four dogs being placed over him. Now, his defeat 
 was owing to an imported English judge "going it" on his 
 ideas of a pug and paying no attention to what the standard 
 called for. A pug winning first at New York, Boston or 
 Philadelphia with American judges, seldom changes its 
 position during the same season. During all the shows held 
 in America in 1889 there was but one change, although shown 
 under different judges. 
 
 It is certain that many of the English judges pay too 
 much attention to head, wrinkle and muzzle, and how a 
 dog carries his ears, neglecting color, legs, tail, marking, 
 size of ears, etc. Many of their winning dogs are of bad 
 color, approaching that of Othello, and some of a fawn 
 color, which looks dirty and sunburnt. There are not 
 enough like Bradford Ruby, George or Zulu II (Joe), of this 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 45 
 
 country, or Boffin, Little Count, and Little Countess, in 
 England. 
 
 Two of the winners at leading English shows of this 
 year have white feet and toes. There you can find legs 
 strong, but seldom straight, and well set under ; tails fairly 
 good, but not what they should be, while markings are very 
 poor as a rule. The judges want the ears carried properly, 
 but size is scarcely taken into consideration, some of the 
 winners having ears large enough to nearly cover all the 
 face when extended by the hands. 
 
 This kind of judging is causing the quality of the pugs 
 in England to deteoriate in all points except head, muzzle, 
 wrinkle and carriage of ears. It is evident to the writer, 
 who has visited English shows nearly every Summer since 
 1878, that they are not now showing dogs so good as Bofiin, 
 Tum-Tum II, Banjo, Comedy, Bradford Ruby, Diamond, Little 
 Count, and others he could mention, all of which were good 
 all-round pugs. 
 
46 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 ShotD Reports of 1889. 
 
 The best criticism to be obtained of the winning dogs 
 of 1889 is the official report of the judges at the leading 
 shows, as published in the Kennel Gazette. 
 
 Report of the New York Show, by the judge, Miss Anna H. Whitney. 
 
 Chai,i,exge CIvASS, Dogs. — The well-known Dude took 
 first prize, beating his sire, Max, in carriage of ears, in hind 
 legs and body. Both dogs were in exquisite condition and 
 showed themselves jauntily. In the corresponding class of 
 bitches the charming little Bessie beat her half-sister, Vesta, 
 by a few points. Both are good in size, build, legs, feet, 
 and tail, and both lack black nails. Bessie excels in 
 clearness of color, in eyes and wrinkle. 
 
 Open Ci,ass, Dogs. — There were but few weeds in the 
 lot of eleven. First prize was won by Guess, a fine well- 
 made little fellow of good, clear silver fawn with brilliant 
 black markings ; small ears, but not well carried ; massive 
 skull ; heavy wrinkle ; bright, prominent eyes and tight 
 twist. Second went to Mikado, a handsome son of old 
 Champion George ; rather large for the present fashion and 
 too fat ; in color a nice clear silver with well-defined mark- 
 ings. His wrinkle and tail could hardly be better, but his 
 ears hung "a la rose." Othello, sire of champions, took 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 47 
 
 third place. He is full of character from muzzle to tip of 
 twist, the shortest-nosed, best-faced dog in the ring, but too 
 big, too smutty, too light in eye— faults he is too wise to 
 transmit, fortunately. V. H. C. fell to Bob Ivy, a son of 
 Dude, a youngster not yet made up; leggy and light in 
 body and too undecided about the carriage of his ears to 
 show all his wrinkle. In tail he equals his sire, and in trace 
 he beat the class. 
 
 Toney, V. H. C, is another leggy one, a bit heavy in 
 ear and smutty in face; he is none too big, and may be 
 more cobby by and by. Jim Jam, V. H. C, is good in color, 
 skull and size. Baby Bunting, H. C, has to be content with 
 two letters, owing to his faulty ears, smuttiness, and lack 
 of character. Jumbo, Jr., unnoticed, was good enough in 
 skull, wrinkle, and muzzle to stand high in the class, but 
 his extremely short legs kept him down, and he would not 
 do himself justice in the ring. In color and coat he is an 
 exquisite Morrison. 
 
 Open CIvASS, Bitches.— Only three of this class seemed 
 to enjoy the fun, and were willing to show up. Of these 
 Vic, a pretty little pale fawn, perfect in marking, small 
 enough with the best of feet and legs, good skull and twist, 
 won first, though too long in muzzle and carrying her ears 
 loosely. Bo-Peep II, second, is a sweet, golden fawn with 
 sharply defined black markings, and good ears, though 
 wrongly carried most of the time in the ring. She is of 
 the right size and make, carries a close, jaunty tail, and 
 but for her light nails and indifference when we tried to 
 make her show herself would have pressed Vic even closer. 
 Myrtle, third, is better in quality than in color, good in size 
 and well in body; in wrinkle and tail she is excellent, but 
 her rose ears weaken the effect of her head. Rustic Queen, 
 
48 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 V. H. C, R., wants time aud confidence to show how good 
 she really is. Like most of the class, her nails are not dark 
 enough. In size and black markings she leaves little to be 
 desired, but is too light in flesh and shy to display her- 
 self. Peggy, H. C, a golden fawn, with rather light shadings, 
 good in body, and fair in tail, could have shown her betters 
 how to carry their ears. 
 
 Puppy Ci.ass, — Bob Ivy, already described, took an easy 
 first here, closely followed by his two months' old brother. 
 Matt, an amazing little fellow of wonderful quality. Third 
 went to Ivittle Duke II, an eight months' pup, apricot fawn, 
 cobby and small, and H. C. to his little brother Kobby. 
 Daisy, a nine months' old bitch, of fair quality and poor 
 ears, also received H. C. Ears faulty in carriage, size, and 
 quality, and light nails, were noticeable in all the classes. 
 The special prize for the best kennel of four pugs entered 
 by one exhibitor was awarded to Dr. Cryer's string of cham- 
 pions — Dude, Max, Bessie, and Vesta, and Bessie also claimed 
 the Pug Breeder's Challenge Cup. 
 
 Report of the Troy Show, by the judge, Miss Anna H. Whitney. 
 
 Chai^i^enge, Dogs and Bitches. — Dainty little Bessie 
 was alone in her glory, and promenaded the ring to show 
 others of her race how to face a judge to best advantage. 
 She is small, clear, and right in color everj-where except 
 in nails ; well built, tight in twist, excellent in wrinkle and 
 skull and irresistible in eyes, a marvel when one sees her 
 swarthy great sire. She added one to her store of blue ribbons. 
 
 Open Ci.ass, Pugs. — Two more from the invicible Phila- 
 delphia Kennels were the competitors. Othello, looking bigger 
 and blacker in head than ever, won first. Of course, audacious 
 little Bob Ivy, second prize, will go by him in the race for 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 49 
 
 liighest place later, but now his unfinished proportions and 
 naughty ears keep him a step behind. Will Othello whisper 
 the secret for preserving the blackness of his muzzle ? Most 
 pugs of his years are silvered and faded, but he is regard- 
 less of time and looks better with age. 
 
 Open Class, Bitches. — Only three of the four entries 
 appeared. Vic, first prize, is a nice little fawn, good every- 
 where but in muzzle, which is broad enough, but too long. 
 She is at an age to show at her best, while Rustic Queen, 
 second prize, a coming wearer of the blue, is not sufficiently 
 made up, and far too light in flesh as yet. Next year she 
 should do better. It was rather unkind to catalogue the well- 
 marked little creature as black. Gypsey, V. H. C>, is very 
 pretty in color and body, but lacks wrinkle ; is poor in 
 muzzle, and would neither carry her ears nor tail close 
 enough. Daisy was alone in the class for bitches shown with 
 litter, and for her endeavors to show herself was awarded 
 third prize. In color, skull, muzzle, and tail she is lacking. 
 Bob Ivy bobbed up again and claimed the blue ribbon in 
 the puppy class. There was no competitor of either sex to 
 say his nay. The special prize for the best kennel of pugs 
 went to the team from Philadelphia, Bessie, Vic, Othello, 
 and Bob Ivy. 
 
 Report of the Albany Show, by the judge, James Mortimer. 
 
 That handsome little pug, Bessie, won the challenge prize. 
 First prize in the open class was won by Phonofer, a local 
 entry of correct size, good skull, body, coat, trace and color. 
 His muzzle is a bit long and ears large, but his better size 
 put him, in my estimation, ahead of the good-headed, but 
 smutty and gigantic Othello. In the bitch class Vic, by her 
 
50 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 superior condition, alone beat Rustic Queen, a very good- 
 headed little pug, of nice size, but here looking very thin 
 and tucked up. Bob Ivy had the puppy class to himself. 
 
 Report of the Utica Show, by the judge, Mr. James Mortimer. 
 
 The pugs were almost the same as at Albany, except 
 that in the bitch class Rustic Queeu was so much improved 
 in body that I had no hesitation in putting her over Vic, thus 
 reversing the order in which I placed them at Albany. 
 
 Report of the Rochester Show, by the judge, Miss Anna H. Whitney. 
 
 Chai^lknge CI.ASS, Dogs And Bitches. — To my great 
 regret, Kash was absent, leaving the kennel mates, Bessie, 
 and her half-brother, Little Dude, the contestants. First was 
 awarded to Bessie, fresh as a daisy, after all her travels. 
 In eyes, ears, muzzle and color I think her a little the better. 
 
 The open class for dogs brought out seven. Lord Clover, 
 a prize winner in England, and only recently arrived in this 
 country, made his debut, winning first, though suffering from 
 the effects of his voyage, in coat, body and feet. In skull 
 and wrinkle he is very good and he understands what to do 
 with himself in the show ring. His ears would be better if 
 smaller, and his eyes lack a trifle in size. His muzzle is 
 broad, but he is rather upfaced. It would be hardly fair to 
 criticize his coat or color just now. His tail is very well 
 coiled and carried. Bob Ixj, too well known to require 
 much description, may pass his rival on the way to the 
 challenge class next year. At present the lively little fellow 
 needs a few hints from Bessie on the importance of appearing 
 at his best in company. Othello, V. H. C, R., accepted his 
 position with dignity. Buzz, V. H. C, rather light in body 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 5i 
 
 and leggy, has a good front, with plenty of wrinkle, and a 
 nice tight twist to balance it. His color, markings and 
 nails are better than the average. Heavy ears, and muzzle 
 a bit pinched, are against him. Port, V. H. C, is similar 
 in size and body, good in color, carriage of tail and ears, 
 has a skull of the proper size and carries himself well. 
 Leo II, unnoticed, fairly dwarfed Othello, wore white on 
 feet and breast, had long heavy ears and was decidedly out- 
 classed, as was Robert, equally lacking in quality. 
 
 Open Ci^ass, Bitches.— Daisy's absence left four competi- 
 tors Of these, Vic, first prize, fairly earned her ribbon by 
 making the best of all her good points, an art unknown 
 to more than half the pug bitches before the public. The 
 judge has to score the dogs as they appear in the ring when 
 shown, as I understand it. Timidity must be left at home 
 and confidence assumed for the brief half hour of inspection, 
 at least. Rustic Queen, second prize, still needs a pound of 
 flesh to round her into cobbiness. She is a good one, and 
 when well furnished with assurance-if she ever gams this— 
 will wear blue ribbons instead of red, we venture to predict. 
 
 What's That, reserve, excels in body and coat, but is 
 not equal to her daughter in head. Like her, she was too 
 shy to display herself well. In size, color, and build she is 
 right, carries ears of fine quality, and shows her breeding 
 throughout. I have always wanted to see this little bitch, 
 the only daughter of Stingo Sniffles* in America, I believe, 
 and was sorry she would not show up well. 
 
 Leah, V. H. C, won her letters for her body and coat. 
 Bitches of the approved size seem to be easy to breed, but 
 the average dogs of good blood will grow too big. 
 
 Bob Ivy won first prize in the puppy class, and Bessie 
 
 *Yuma-Yuma, owned by Mrs. Wheatleigh, is by Stingo Sniffles. 
 
52 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 beat Lord Clover in the race for the special. The kennel 
 prize was a walk-over for Dr. Cryer's team. ' 
 
 Report of the Chicago Show, by the judge, Mr. James Mortimer. 
 In the challenge class Dude was placed first, and Kash 
 second. The latter owes his position to an ulcerated eye, 
 as I consider him better in size, body, hindquarters and stern 
 than Dude. Bessie and Vic were the only entries in the 
 corresponding bitch class. Lord Nelson, the open dog class 
 winner, is one of the best-headed and best-bodied dogs we 
 have. He stands on capital legs and feet, has a very close 
 tail, is well wrinkled, and about the only serious fault is 
 that he is too smutty. Bijou, a nice dog, by Bradford Ruby, 
 getting gray about the muzzle, was second. Climax, third, and 
 Bob Ivy, reserve. Bo-Peep won in the bitch class, with 
 Juliet second, plain in head and leggy. Chin Chin, third, is 
 plain in head and faulty in color. Bob Iv>^ won in the puppy 
 class from two very moderate ones. 
 
 Report of the Philadelphia show, by the judge. Dr. M. H. Cryer. 
 
 There were in all twenty-one entries, the following eleven 
 dogs being in for exhibition only: Max, Dude, Bessie, Vesta, 
 Vic, Othello, Bob Ivy, Myrtle, Climax, Juliet, and Matt. 
 The first eight are well known ; the three latter have each 
 won only minor prizes. See reports of New York, Troy, 
 Albany, Utica, Rochester, and Chicago shows. 
 
 Mr. Pitt's Kash was alone in the challenge class. He 
 is the only son of Bradford Ruby the writer has seen in 
 this country that is worthy of the sire. 
 
 Kash is a very good all-round dog of medium size; 
 weight, fifteen pounds in present condition. He has very 
 few objectionable points, the most marked being lack of trace, 
 a little light in color, especially on feet, which are also 
 rather too much spread out. He is suffering at the present 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 53 
 
 time from chronic condition of ulcerative keratitis, but had 
 no trouble in winning the two specials for the best dog or 
 bitch in the show. 
 
 Guess, first prize winner in New York, won an easy first ; 
 his good points are condition, head, eyes, mask, coat, and 
 color ; he is fair in symmetry, size (sixteen pounds), body, 
 legs, though set too far apart at breast, feet, muzzle, ears, 
 and wrinkle ; he is poor in tail, and has no trace. In catalogue 
 it is stated that he is by Max, which may be correct, but 
 not by the well-known Champion Max. Jumbo, Jr., and 
 Rustic King had quite a tussle for second place. Jumbo, Jr., 
 finally winning. If Rustic King could get into proper con- 
 dition, it would be no trouble for him to win from Jumbo, 
 Jr., and he would run Guess very close. The good points 
 of Jumbo, Jr., are condition, mask, coat, and color. He is 
 fair in body, head, ears, and eyes, and in symmetry, size 
 (nineteen pounds), legs, feet, muzzle, wrinkle, and general 
 carriage he is poor and has no ^ace. 
 
 Rustic King is good in head, body, legs and feet ; fair 
 in symmetry, size (sixteen pounds), muzzle, tail, and general 
 carriage, and poor in condition, ears, eyes, mask, wrinkle, 
 trace, coat, and color. He has the appearance of having 
 been bred from a bitch which has suffered from a consti- 
 tutional skin disease during her gestation. 
 
 Capers, the reserve, was nearly as good as second and 
 third winners. 
 
 Judge, the V. H. C, son of old Champion George, does 
 not do his sire credit. 
 
 The Pug Breeders' Challenge Cup was won by Bismarck, 
 the poorest pug in the show. As he was the only pug entered 
 by its breeder, there was no option but to give him the prize. 
 If it had been a final award the cup would have been

 withheld. It is to be hoped that the next time this cup 
 is offered for competition there will be a number of entries 
 for it. The conditions are: 
 
 Open to all American (including Canadian) bred, pugs, 
 to be competed for semi-annually and must be won three 
 separate times by separate dogs, the property of the same 
 exhibitor, who must also be the breeder. The donor reserves 
 the right of designating at which show the cup w^ill be 
 put up for competition. The name of each winner will be 
 engraved on the cup.

 Bradford Ruby is without doubt one of the very best 
 pugs we have had in this country. He is of good size, 
 weighing about sixteen pounds when in high condition, but 
 would be better if he was fourteen pounds. In symmetry 
 he is grand, viewing him over his back, head, and tail, but 
 when looked at from the side on a level with the eyes he 
 has not depth of body, but has the appearance of being 
 tucked up fore and "aft. Body too round and not enough 
 depth for his height. Legs good, though they look long, 
 caused by the shape of his body. Feet too much spread out. 
 Head very good, though a little too long. Muzzle should be 
 shorter and broader, although with these defects he is a 
 capital pug. Ears are of the best, though set a little high 
 up. Eyes good, but a trifle small. Mask fair. Wrinkles of 
 the very best, beaten only by one specimen in this country. 
 Tail all that could be wished for. Trace would score about 
 3 in 5. Coat and color could not be better.

 v/ere apt to be swayed more by popular opinion and less by 
 tne standard held to by the fancy. Naturally a lady exhibiting 
 a dog under these circumstances had a great advantage. 
 George always appeared at his best, as he was kept in fine 
 condition and was never afraid in the ring. His color, 
 condition, body, legs, feet, tail, nails, and symmetry were very 
 good ; in head, mask, wrinkles, trace, coat, and neck he was 
 fair. His eyes were large and expressive, but too light in 
 color. His ears were not good in shape nor well carried, 
 and he was over size (nearly twenty-five pounds). For 
 further remarks see comments on Pittsburg show, 1882 and 
 1883 ; New York, 1881, 1882 and 1883 ; Philadelphia, 1885.

 MAX (Champion).— Owned and bred by Dr. M. H. Cryer. 
 Bom July 6, 1882. Sire, Champion Roderick ; dam, Dolly. 
 For full pedigree see Bob Ivy. 
 
 "Skull decidedly better than the average. Muzzle short, 
 but should be deeper ; in fact, the foreface should be larger, 
 deeper and broader in proportion to size of skull. Eyes 
 should be larger ; they are not small, but if Max would 
 exchange them for a pair such as were seen in Mrs. Monk's 
 Sambo, his appearance would be much improved. Neat, jet 
 black rose ears. Forehead beautifully wrinkled. Expression 
 about right. Nose not quite black ; we cannot call it either 
 a butterfly or a Dudley nose, but it should certainly be of 
 darker hue. Taken as a whole Max's head is a little inferior 
 in point of merit to the best in this country. We do not 
 mean by this that it is a typical head, for Max in company 
 with, for instance. Sambo or Comedy, would not have had 
 the slightest chance of winning. Neck, stout and strong. 
 Chest, deep, wide and well formed generally. Shoulders, 
 strong and well placed. Back, somewhat defective, being 
 slightly roached. Loin, strong, deep and compact. Forelegs 
 well set, straight and of sufiScient strength. Feet of good 
 foundation with toes well split. 
 
 "We now come to the dog's prominent defects — the hind 
 legs and hocks. These are very much too straight and not 
 strong as they should be ; in fact, it would be impossible 
 to find strong hind legs which displayed the structural defects 
 seen in Max. Tail should be tight in curl and lie close to 
 
CHAMPION MAX. 
 
AMERICA AND ENGLAND. 77 
 
 the thigh. Coat and skin excellent. A fairly good fronted 
 rl^g, showing more character than symmetry. While Max 
 would not be a winner in such classes as we have seen at 
 prominent English shows, he is undoubtedly one of the best 
 pugs in America and is much better size than the majority 
 of prize winners. Dr. M. H. Cryer, the owner and breeder 
 of this dog, is the most successful breeder of pugs in 
 America. He has utilized to the best possible advantage the 
 stock at his disposal, and it seems more than probable that 
 he will eventually succeed in producing better specimens 
 than any of the imported winners." — C. H. Mason, Esq., in 
 "Our Prize Dogs," 1S87.

 "This dog was a most unfortunate one. He was sent out 
 of the ring for carrying his tail on the wrong (?) side at 
 Philadelphia show, 1879 ; w^as also defeated at New York, 
 1880, by a dog from Boston, which was never again heard 
 of, and it was not until 1881 he won his first prize at New 
 York, beating George. The owner thought a great deal of 
 this dog, and kept on showing him under defeat when many 
 would have given up in disgust. He was beaten by George 
 several times under different judges until in 1884 he won the 
 champion prizes at New York, beating Joe, and at the two 
 shows held at Philadelphia." [See shows of 1884 and 1885. 
 —Ed.] 
 
 "Roderick was a small dog for those days, weighing 
 about fourteen and one-half pounds. He was very good in 
 symmetry, size, body, feet, head, ears, mask, color, and coat. 
 The forelegs were good, but hind legs very weak, being almost 
 double jointed ; muzzle was fair and eyes good, but when 
 he was two years old each cornea became seared through 
 keratitis ; tail fair ; general carriage when on a carpet or 
 smooth floor was good but on the sawdust was very bad.

 "It is from this dog that the owner has produced many 
 of his winners, foremost among them being Champion Max, 
 his grandson Champion Dude, and great-grandson Bob Ivy, 
 who at this time prqmises to keep up the reputation of his 
 family."— Quoted criticism by Mr. Jas. Watson.

 This is one of the best bred pugs iu Amerca ard if 
 he had the best bitches his produce would be equal to that 
 of any dog. His coat in color and texture is excellent, keep- 
 ing his black markings wonderfully well for his age. His 
 skull, eyes and wrinkle are very good. Body and legs were 
 symmetrical and right until he grew so very fat ; tail was 
 not well carried. Ears small and well set but badly carried. 
 Muzzle is a little pinched, and like many good pugs, under- 
 shot. Size — At two years of age he weighed eleven and 
 one-half pounds ; at five years, seventeen pounds, and in 
 1888 twenty-one pounds.

 This dog was one of the best ever shown and except for 
 size and mask it would be difficult to find any defect in him. 
 His weight, being somewhat over twenty pounds however, was 
 against him, and the top of head and his forehead were 
 blacker than the writer approves of.

I20 THE PRIZE PUGvS OF 
 
 lu August the writer was at the Scarborough Bench Show 
 and had the pleasure of seeing Little Count and his full 
 sister, Little Countess, as they were being led across the 
 show ground. A finer pair of pugs it would be hard to find. 
 They were perfectly matched and almost faultless in appear- 
 ance ; excellent in size, wrinkle, color and markings and 
 had fine coats of light golden fawn. About the only fault 
 that could be found was that the Count's ears were rather 
 large, though well carried, while those of the Countess were 
 of better size, but not so well carried. In fact the writer 
 considers Little Count second only to Boffin . It seems a pity 
 that Bradford Ruby should be separated from Little Duchess, 
 as he has produced nothing in America equal to these two 
 grand little pugs.

 "He is medium in size, beautifully built and very compact,

 square, short and deep in chop, with large, lustrous and 
 widely-set eyes and beautiful drop ears. Loris is excellent 
 in both color and coat and has a perfect double-curled tail. 
 He owns also a good black mask and distinct trace, all of 
 which are important pug characteristics, which properties he 
 faithfully transmits to his progeny."— Stock-Keeper, January

APPENDIX, 
 
Winning Pugs of 1890. 
 
 MALES. 
 
 There were seventeen bench shows recognized by the 
 American Kennel Club that gave prizes for pugs during the 
 year 1890, the most prominent one being held in New York. 
 There were forty-two entries, only one being absent. In qual- 
 ity it far excelled any show ever held in this country ; dogs 
 that had often been well placed before had to give way to 
 better ones here. 
 
 The Westminster Kennel Club has done so much to ad- 
 vance and stimulate the breeding and exhibiting of fine dogs 
 that lovers of these good animals should give every assistance 
 and encouragement possible to this organization. At the same 
 time, nothing being quite perfect, a little criticism may be 
 in order. It seemed to the writer that not only at this show, 
 but all shows, too little attention is given to the rings in which 
 the small pet dogs are judged, and also to the ladies who are 
 often with them, and as the New York show is always held in 
 winter, the place of benching these dogs should be out of the 
 drafts as much as possible. 
 
 The pugs were judged in the same ring and on the same 
 sawdust as that upon which one hundred and fifty St. Bernards 
 had been been walking for five hours. Any one accustomed to 
 the temperament of pet dogs knows that they are used to warm 
 houses, soft carpets, and even such luxuries as the velvet train 
 
146 THE PRIZE PUGS OF 
 
 or lap of their mistress is not denied some of these lucky little 
 animals, consequently when brought into a sawdust ring, and a 
 very dirty one at that, it is little wonder that many sulked and 
 refused to show well. 
 
 A change should also be made in favor of the ladies who 
 take their pet dogs away the last night of the show. They 
 should not be compelled to go out by the same door as the 
 large dogs. Any one who has witnessed the jam on such 
 occasions would see that it is not the place for a lady with one 
 or more dogs. 
 
 The Mascoutah Kennel Club also held a very good show 
 at Chicago the first week in March. They offered more money 
 for pug prizes than any other show, and it is hard to understand 
 why they did not have some forty entries instead of only 
 sixteen. 
 
 The other shows held under the A. K .C. rules gave general 
 satisfaction and were mostly well attended. 
 
 Fifteen new pugs took first prizes in open classes during 
 the year. Many of them were below the average and won at 
 shows where there was little or no competition. Their names, 
 pedigrees, etc, are given below and their importance can be 
 judged accordingly. Two were new dogs in the challenge 
 classes, Bob Ivy winning four first prizes, becoming a cham- 
 pion, and Bo-Peep II won first at Cincinnati.

 nati, first at Detroit in open dog class, 1890. 
 
 Miss Whitney speaks of this dog in her report of the New 
 York show as follows : "In head and wrinkle he is excellent, 
 and his twist is like that of Tim— perfection. He is light in 
 body (pardonable in a puppy) and a little smutty now." 
 
 Mr. Mortimer writes of him in his report of the Cincinnati 
 show : "He has made up in body but still looks leggy. His 
 skull is well wrinkled but his ears are set on too low and he is 
 a bit plain in muzzle." 
 
 J. C. P. SPRAKE.— Owned by Mrs. Sarah E. Davis, box 
 287, Waukegan, 111. Bred by George Gillivan, West Jefferson, 
 Ohio. Born April 14, 1889. Sired by Champion Kash ; dam,

 Winnings. — Second at Rochester, second at Baltimore, 
 second at Boston, first at Rochester and reserve (third) at 
 Cincinnati. 
 
 Mr. Mortimer, in his Cincinnati report, says : "He has a 
 verj'- good skull which is rather tight-skinned ; he is a trifle 
 coarse in coat and has no trace." His owner writes in answer 
 to the above that the dog was much out of condition at the 
 Cincinnati show, which accounts for tightness of skin and 
 coarseness of coat.

 Winnings. — Second at Cincinnati. 
 
 LORD NELSON.— See page 72. 
 
 Winnings. — First in challenge class at Chicago, second

 ter and first at Cincinnati. 
 
 Remarks from Mr. Mortimer's report of Cincinnati show : 
 "He is full of style, and could his muzzle be shortened a mere 
 trifle he would to my mind be very near a typical pug."

 by J. C. Cartright. Age and pedigree unknown. 
 
 Winnings. — First at Augusta, Ga.

 dam. Beauty. 
 
 Winnings. — First and two specials at New York, one 
 special as best pug in show, the other the "Pug Breeders' 
 Prize." 
 
 Remarks from Miss Whitney's report of New York show : 
 "The first prize winner, Tim, only thirteen mouths old, is a 
 wonder, nothing less. Though small, he is too much of a pug 
 to be called a 'toy.' His head is of good size, with heavy 
 wrinkle and square muzzle, his body is a little light as yet. In 
 legs and feet he is equal to the best. His coat is like satin, 
 the markings strongly contrasting and sharply defined, the 
 clear silver fawn, made more brilliant by the narrow black 
 trace, glossy black ears and thumb mark. His expression — 
 anxious, inquisitive, intelligent and non chalant — is admirable 
 and as for his tail, the most expressive featurea dog possesses 
 next to his eye, that is perfection. It is carried flat on one hip, 
 lying in a triple coil, not a mere caudal appendage, but an ex- 
 quisite little ornamental rosette."
