KENNEL NOTES.

By the steamer Manapouri which arrived last week arrived five collie puppies, all sluts. They are three by Britannia (sister to Mr W. H. Cooper's stud dog Donald) and two by Fly out of Lassie. They are all sired by Mr Herbert N. Watson'e, of Gisborne, stud dog Kainoe Jock (Hy Heather Jock— Tarura Shell, by Heather Lock—H. Charmer, by Clydesdale Trumpet—Clydesdale Beauty, by Paramount—Sable Plume, etc.). They have been sent up by the breeder, the well-known judge Mr Herbert N. WatBon, who has selected them for the_ purpose of improving the breed of collies in the Auckland province. The fanciers, and indeed the runholders of the province, are deeply indebted to Mr Watson for his generous kindness. The fortunate owners of these puppies are Messrs A. A. White, W. H. Cooper, A. Cotter, C. Phillips and Schnackenberg, the two first owing a good puppy of rich sable and the others the old black and tan type. Mr W. H. Cooper'a collie dog Donald ia entered tor the Dog Show at Christchurch on November 7th and Bth, and the Wellington Show on November 17th and 18th. There will be a large number for competition in each class, but we hope he will be successful. Fanciers should not forget that entries for the Auckland Dog Show on December Ist and 2nd close on Saturday, 25th November. Mr Thos. Shrewing, the well-known local fancier, has bought a splendid stud fox terrier from'Mr R. Tuggs, of Wellington. The dog'a name is Harewood Fireworks, and he was born in March, 1891. He has taken a number of prizes ab Wellington and Christchurch, and has also sired Neidpath Squib.
