To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The three illustrations he gives viz. , Mrs. Mayhew's Gwen; Sir Guy, and an American dog called Bob are all distinct in type, the latter very much so, and an extremely moderate specimen. He, however, recom- mends the coat of the Sir Cavendish type as the best, and the short, hard coat he has no sympathy with. Mr Lloyd The Collie or Sheep Dog. speaks highly of the intelligence of this variety, and, like all enthusiasts, rather overstates his case. I do not consider the " bob-tail" a great succes...s as a show dog. Birmingham has the credit of giving him the first class in which he was able to compete against dogs only of his own variety, and, as a rule, when such an oppor- tunity is afforded, one may conclude that the future of the dog so honoured is more or less assured. Will it be so in this instance ? for, this early class was provided so far back as 1873, when there were only three entries. There were but thirteen entries in 1889, although the formation of the club the year before, and the commencement of an attempt to popularise them, resulted in an excellent collec- tion of twenty in the two classes at Curzon Hall, a number which has not been reached at any show since that time, nor had this record been approached earlier.
