Mr Tom Stretch introduced yet one more phenomenal puppy in Collies at the Bristol Show. The youngster, yclept Ormskirk Diamond, is said to be of quite extraordinary merit. He annexed first prize in the novice, puppy, and maiden classes, a pretty good triumph for the first time of asking. Good as Mr Stretch’s pups generally are, Ormskirk Diamond is said to be wonderfully full of quality and merit. All that could be said against him at Bristol was that he was not quite full enough in coat. Time will put that right.
