DUNEDIN FANCIERS’ SHOW

SUCCESSF UL OPENING. The annual show of the Dunedin Fanciers’ Club, which wras opened on the 30th in the Brydo.no llall, was a most noteworthy event in view of the fact that the club, in a spirit of most commendable enterprise, had arranged for Air Bam Crabtree, who is known m many parts of the world as a judge, to judge the dogs at the show. The New Zealand Kennel Club, moreover, had gra.ated the club championship in all breeds of dogs. Entries had been received from Canterbury and Southland, and these, with the local entries, made a very tine total—in all, over 1200 exhibits being staged. The show would have been even more successful but for the fact that the North Island exhibitors were under the impression that Air Crabtree was to judge at the Wellington Club’s show. Air Crabtree, however, has come out to New Zealand under engagement to the Dunedin Fanciers’ Club, and if the Wellington Club does obtain his services it will have to be by arrangement with the Dunedin Club. The action of the Wellington Club in connection with this matter is not very favourably commented on by local and visiting fanciers. Moreover, Air Crabtree does not intend to do anything which would conflict with the wishes of the Dunedin Fanciers’ Club. As ho himself has stated, his word is his bond Mr Crabtree went into the judging ring shortly before 10 o'clock, lie took an hour for his lunch, and then went on again till 6 o'clock, when ho concluded his task. Every dog was carefully examined, and not one complaint, as could naturally be expected. was heard in regard to the placing®. Air Crabtree has judged in England. Scotland. Ireland. Wales, Belgium, Holland, the United States (from New York to San Francisco), Canada (from Toronto to Vancouver), and South Africa. He has now come t o Now Zealand, and then goes on to judge in Australia and South Africa. He has been exhibiting, breeding, and judging for the past 40 years, and for the past 25 years has devoted the whole of his time to judging. In all he has acted as judge at something like 2COO shows. Mr Crabtree said that, taking them altogether, the exhibit- of dogs was not quite what he had expected to find, because some little friction, he supposed, had somewhat spoilt the entering of the large number of clogs which should have been exhibited, lie thought the action of the other club was a rather foolish one. lie considered that they

should have shown all they possibly could. The best sections at the Dunedin Show were Airedales and cocker spaniels. The winning Airedale —Mr D. M‘Kenzio’s Shirley Mac, by Shirley President— Peterborough Tui, —which also won in the Bracelet class, was a good dog; and G. and F. E. Biltcliff's Wairiki Wilhelmina, by Shirley President—Wairiki Winning Way, was a good type of bitch. The cocker spaniels were a little bit uneven in size. Some of them were just a little on the small side as compared to what they had in England. Altogether, however, they were a very nice lot. Messrs Morten and Dawson’s Stonycroft Rufus, by Ahuriri Rhu —Sassafras Rosanna, was a good upstanding Irish setter, capital colour, with plenty of galloping room about him. The same owners won with a very nice bitch in Stonycroft Shiela, by Ballarat Shamrock —Molly Vene. One of the Gordon setters exhibited,_ Ota nomomo Don, by Otanomomo Rival— Teviot Lass, got the special for the best setter in the show. He was a good type of the breed. Retrievers were a very moderate lot. There was nothing much of note in the collie section. Mrs A. Smellie’s Bob was the best of the lof. The bulldogs were a nice lot, but there was not many of them. Mr Lloyd’s Bruce, by Bonny Mac—Roman Maid, was a good type of dog—big skull and face, good shoulders, well sprung ribs —just a really nice type all through. The winning. bitch, Mr J. E. Robertson’s Roman Maid, by Narekiki Punch—Burbank Countess, was low to ground: a cloddy bitch, true to type : good head and front. The Irish water spaniels were very poor, but the winning dog in its section, Miss R. S. Davis’s Rouse, by Rouse —Belle, was a very gcod liver pied of the Sussex type. Irish terriers were very moderate. Eox terriers, smooth, were only fair—nothing outstanding. Wire-hairs were a better class. In the open section G. and F. E. Biltcliff’s Speak, by Brinsea Boy—Chatter of Felixstowe, beat the same owner’s champion Glenmore Bristler. The winner scored in eyo and expression. length of neck, shortness of back, and fineness in" shoulders. The second was just a bit better in the fore-face,. but lost in other resnects. A nice bitch in Dusky Pearl, by Wire Result—Letta, won the championship in bitches. There wore only a brace of Scotch terriers—just a nice brace. Poms were not numerous, but were ot nice quality The pugs were all too long in the nose and on the big side. Only one Pekinese was shown. . a very good bitch, only “out at elbows.’ The sporting brace went to Messrs Morten and Dawson’s Irish setters, and the sporting team to G. and F. E. Biltcliff s wire-haired fox terriers, . The champion of champions was won by G. and F. E. Biltcliff’s Glenmore Bristler, by Oliver Thistle—Glenmore Bristles. There were only two entries.in this class. Summing up his impression, Mr Crabtree saiti rhnt tl'c* Gordon setter, the Xrisn setter, the Airedale, and the two cockers which won their sections, were good enough to compete in any big outside show. Messrs P. C. Sinclair. W. M’Donald, 1. Leedham, and H. L. Sproseu judged the utility breeds of poultry, bantams, eto. Mr Sinclair stated that the Leghorns were very good and the Ali norcia r , exceptionally good. Taking it all through, the show of poultry was probably the best ever held in Dunedin. The winning pullet in the Minorcas could hold her own in any company. The utility birds, in fact, were of a, Tpj-y high standard all round. _ The entries received in the canary section were quite up to the usual number, and they included some very typical Tvorttich birds and good Yorkshires. The winning Norwich was a lovely type with beautiful feather and showed itself well. Taking them as a whole, the canaries were quite up to the average standard. ...

Mr CRABTREE'S OPINIONS. On Friday the chib entertained the judges and visitors m the Overseas Club Room. There was a good attendance, and the pro- ! ceedings were of an enjoyable and enthu- ' siasdic nature. Mr W. Fkquilaiit, president I of the club, occupied the chair. Among the visitors were Mcsdames Biltcliff, Richmond, | and Lewis, of Christchurch, j The Chairman, in proposing the toast of | ‘‘The Judges,” referred to the pleasure all I felt in having Mr Sam Crabtree with them. I They had looked forward to Mr Crabtree's | coming to judge their dogs for a good many years, and at last their hope and expectations had been fulfilled. They had tried to show Mr Crabtree round a little, and he said that they were making him feel at home, and that he was enjoying himself. Ho (the chairman)' was sure that the dog fanciers would have gained a great deal of knowledge from Mr Crabtree. In responding, Mr Crabtree, after returning thanks for the kindness and hospitality extended to him on his visit to the dominion, said that with, regard to the Dunedin show he was in a sense a little disappointed to think that the fanciers in the district had not taken the opportunity to let him see all their stock, and get ! the opinion of one who had travelled I 14,000 miles for the purpose of giving it. He would have been far more 1 pleased if every fancier in the district had done his level best to make the show a success. Whatever the differences of opinion existing might be, he thought that everyone should have buried the hatchet, if only for a few weeks, and made a great entry, and if they wanted to quarrel have done so after he went away. That was his honest opinion, and he thought that the people who had kept away had been rather foolish.—(Applause.) lie would have been very pleased to have seen all the dogs. He knew nothing more about the existing differences than what he had indicated, but he thought the fanciers should nave taken a broader view than seemed to have j been the case. | Speaking with regard to the dogs, Mr | Crabtree said that he had not expected i these to come up to the English standard for reasons that were very easily explained. In the first place where there was one fancier in New Zealand there were 200 in the Old Country, and probably more. It. was not possible to go into the street of even the smallest village without. finding that there were two or three working men breeding pedigree dogs. It was a hobby and of interest to them. They tried to breed something good, because they were well aware that there were many men—men like himself —always ready to buy them. Many of these men paid their rent by breeding dogs, but irrespective of money they were doglovers and sports. Englishmen all loved dogs, and kept dogs irrespective of the money made from so doing, but if money could be made, then so much the better. If they did not make the dogs pay, they kept them all the same. It was on account of having so many fanciers that the Old Country was* able to produce stock of the quality it did and send it all over the world. The same remarks applied to all stock in Britain. Whether it was climate or not, he could not say, but be thought that I climate had a good deal to do with it. They could always produce the best stock. Stock was always being imported bv- otner countries from Britain to improve their own stock. America, was one of their bigrrost buyers; yet, a 1 thongn America was always paying big prices for tne best stocks in Britain, they still came for new niooci to renovate their old stock, and keep it up to the standard they were ainji-ng at. With regard to the dogs in New z<ealand, Mr ‘"Crabtree said there were some j very good Airedales, cocker spanie.s, and | setters; but, taken all through, the dogs L> showed room for improv uttput. iresfi blood ought to be introduced, In regard to the importation of dogs, they wanted,to | be vew careful as to the kind of animats ! purchased. Dogs grew very rapidly out I here and there was a tendency ior them |to become too big. Fanciers should pur- ! chase small clogs and breed from smau I stock. They "should not buy big dogs, as i that would only tend to make the dogs still : hi°'°'ci They should buy dog's of the nghu ! quality, but ‘small, in order to keep down | tlie tendency to size. , . j Ml (Tiibti ee went on to reier toxins j experineces as a breeder and judge tne true fancier, he said, was a dog breeder, and lie took his beating just as well as he took, his wins. Personally, he (Mr Crabtree) liked to see a man walk out ox tne ring, shake hands with the prize-winner, and' "go and- have a drink with him.”— (Applause). ... , _\!r K. Ramsay was entrusted with tno toast of ‘"The Visitors,” which ho proposed in impropriate terms. Messrs A. R. V. Morton (Christchurch), Mrs Biltcliff, Mr Biltcliff, and others responded. Mr Biltcliff expressed keen disappointment at the smallness of die dog classes at: the show ; he and the other Cani a-fbury fanciers had thought t'i-.at with Mr J Crabtree judging they would meet the ful- ! lest competition. As things stood, they i wore vis'v disappointed. Personally ho | would sooner gain a second place in a large j class i ban first place in a small one. | The toa-r of '' Kindred .Societies” was i propo.-od by Mr S. Deverwmx. —Mr Harvey -poke to the toast, particularly stressing the desirability of the two clubs' coming together. settling’ their differences, and working in harmony. The toast was responded to by several of the visitors and by the chairman, all recognising that the sooner the present situation was cleared the better it -would be for dog breeding throughout the whole of the southern portion of New Zealand. Other toasts honoured were " '-’lie A. and P. Society ” and those who bad contributed to the success of the proceedings by vocal items, Mr.-srs Re wlin-ha w. Decker, and others.
