FASHIONS IN DOGS.
ALSATIAN OUSTS BULLDOG.
LONDON, Oct.' 5.
Over 2000 dogs in 55 classes were exhibited at the Kennel Club's show. They ranged" from St. Bernards to poodles weighing a few ounces. The King exhibited two Labradors in the retriever class. The total prizemoney is £100,000. The Daily Mail, in a leader, says:— "These days we keep more dogs, but they are smaller ; than the dogs of the Victorian era. This is partly because house room is more limited. . ,''•'•_ "The fashion in dogs ;, changes. The largo Victorian dogs had their day. The big dog was essentially a man's dog. Now women have become dog owners, and prefer pet-like creatures that make no trouble while being led at the end of a string- ■ "A queer turn in taste has made the German Alsatian wolf dog the most popu- ! lar, and is '■ almost banishing the British I bulldog."-
