Litter after lit- ter from even the best obtainable strains have an exasperating tender cy to turn out worthless from ' a fanciers point of view. The pups are de- ficlent either in bone or coat, or their ears Ins on prick in- stead of Deing semi-erect. This point about the ear is one of the most difficult to overcome. Some of the best dogs shown in recent years have had the prick ear to such an extent that it was found necessary to doctor them by slitting the ekin Inside of the ea and stitching it down to hold the ear as it should be, Vet- erinary surgeons are being called on per- petually to perform this operation. A col- lie that is deficient in bone generally is hopeless. Sometimes careful feeding while he still is very young will help him, but enerally such a dog remains undersized. Chis_uncertainty about breeding makes blood that will tell like the Ormsk! blood particularly valuable. It made Ruf- ford Ormond worth $1000 a yvear to his original English owner as a stud dog. e fashionable color now is sable and white. Apart from fashion, there is no question about its being the most striking and beautiful color for a collie. Hand- some as the black and white or the tri- colored dogs are, there is something about the sable and white that makes the dog look absolutely rega Alm. all ¢ the better dogs in the Cragston kennels are of this color, and it predominaics so much generally nowadays that last year show in New York was made up almost exclusively of Cogs with this arking The word “sabl when applied to th2 collie’s markings docs not mean black. It means red. And the nearer the sable of a collie’s coat approaches the color of the fox the better is the breeder pleased. A fine dog with perfect coat of this cc with his wolf-like face and lithe mo ments, cortainly looks more like some su- perb wild creature of the higRest type than likke a domesticated dog. - Tt ‘is this “wild beast’ feature of the collie which has instiiled into many minds the idea that the dog is snappish and treacherous and dangerous. Nothing can be further from the truth, however, and if one will study the beautiful, deep and truthful eyes of the breed he will have no reason for adhering to any unfavorable opihion. When a collie’s temper is bad he is about as bad a dog as can be. The only safe thing to do with such a speci- men is to give him away at once to one's enemy, But there is hardly one thorough- bred collie in five hundred that is any- thing except lovable from the top of his honest head to the tip of his glorious brush The collie, as he has become known in the United States, is a dog far different from his progenitor, the working sheep dog_of Scotland and the north of Eng- land. He has been bred too “fine” for many generations = to withstand the weather and the hard work which are the lot of the shepherd’s dog. Exposure like that to which the working collle is sub- jected night after night and day after day would carry the pure bred type off with neumonia in twenty-four hours. In order malintain ruggedness in their dogs the shepherds cross the collie every. few gen- ations with other breeds. This produces dog with much more bone and chest and without the perfect beauty of the col- lie as we know him. Black and white are -the predominating colors of the working collie. The head is shorter and the face is blunt as compared with the fine fox- like mask of the show dog. Size and bone have been a predominant feature of the collies that have been ex- hibited recently in the United States. But in England there is a fad just now for dwarf collies, and delightful little crea- tures they are. They have all the typical collle points. Indeed, it is demanded that they be pluperfs They must be ful as fine in coat and their shape and i must be exactly as good as theyv are In large collies they are not much larger than a spaniel. Dwarf coilies may turn out to.be a fad even more exper than the ordinary dog. for if it is hard tc breed a perfect large colile it is difficult to breed a perfect dwarf. have been seen as yet on this side, but it is said that there will be an importation in time for the next dog show.
