Hirtenberg. Last February the Great Powers realized for the first time what steel is in the spine of this little fellow who looks like a cross between Actor Ernest Truex and a French bull pup.

...topknot made French Poodle Whippendell Poli of Carillon, best non-sporting dog, look like a Harlem belle. The sixth dog was a magnificent black & tan Airedale, Warland Protector of Shelterock, best terrier, just arrived in the U. S. after a long string of victories in England.
