...Terrace of Blakeen's unofficial name is Duke. Last week, after reluctantly dismissing Greyhound Southball Moonstone, Collie Bellhaven Black Lucason, Sealyham Gunside Babs of Hollybourne and Pomeranian Wonder Son, Judge Alfred B. Maclay ordered Duke and Mrs. M. Hartley Dodge's fine white-&-liver pointer Nancolleth Marquis to trot around the ring again.

...pure-bred dogs of eleven breeds on her 2,000-acre estate at Madison, N. J., where she holds an annual show of her own. In the past two years her dogs have won more best-in-show prizes than any other U. S. exhibitor's. Her pointer Nancolleth Markable was judged best dog in last year's Westminster show. Other fanciers were glad she was chosen judge this year because they consider her unexcelled in all-round knowledge of all dog breeds. They were also glad because the honor took her own formidable entries out of competition...

When Judge Scudder handed his handler the rosette for first prize, he gave a jump and sniffed. To Gamecock Duke of Wales went the trophy for the best American-bred dog in the Show...

Biggest dog show in the world (6,000 dogs) is Crufts, in London. Here, last year, Nancolleth Markable, bred by Mrs. Aimee Rowe, wife of a Cornwall farmer, was barely beaten for best in the show. Two weeks later, at Manchester, he beat the cocker spaniel who had nosed him out in London and has not been defeated since. In the last two years he has won 300 ribbons. As brilliant in action as he is in the ring, Nancolleth Markable last October won the South of England field trials. A month later, with his sister, Nancolleth Beryl...
