The spaniel Bustle, with its distinctive curled tail and expressive eyes, won the hearts of the judges and the crowd. Moving on to the second row, Warrior, the powerful and determined bulldog, stood proudly, embodying the strength and tenacity of the breed. Rattler, the fox terrier, was a lively and agile hunter, with a sharp gaze and a fearless demeanor. The dachshund Pixie, a small but sturdy breed, was known for its long body and short legs, making it an excellent badger hunter. The third row features Doctor, a dandie dinmont terrier, with its distinctive coat and distinctive appearance, which made it a popular choice among dog lovers. Blenheim Little Blossom, a Blenheim spaniel, was a beautiful and graceful dog, with a gentle and friendly disposition. Last but not least, Little Midge, a broken-haired toy terrier, was a beloved companion, known for its affectionate nature and small size. This engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of dog shows during the late 19th century, showcasing the various breeds and their unique characteristics.
