It wilt all quite terrifying after my quiet life in the Shil.lalah Kennels of Don and Florence Pullen, RR 4, Clinton. Prior to leaving my home kennel for this, my first show, I was introduced to 7XOfuil- scale grooming which is the great prerequisite to showing. The brushing and clipping -I endured with in- finite grace, even the pedicure. - my paws looked elegant, not a speck of mud. As I watched the nailclippers being put away, 1 said to myself, "Thank doggy goodness". But no - not yet. Ever hear of the "Cat's Whiskers"; - the finishing touches to the feline form? Not so in dogdom. Dogs' -whiskers are as unsavoury as D.O.(doggy odour) and no self-respecting dog arrives at a show with whiskers showing. So off came my whiskers - and off we went to Toronto. Accustomed as I am to rubbing noses with five other pedigreed Irish Setters. whose mahogany coats look much like' my own, - it was a tail -stopping experience to find there were dogs of other shapes, sires- and colours, Many of them were already "benched" - that means occupying the three -sided. cubicle allotted to . every competitor. Mine was No. 10 and as soon as I reached it I headed for the back corner... curled up- and kept just one eye open. Once, when I was off the bench I managed to wriggle into the crawl space underneath. This was better than ever - I was completely incommunicado. Dura" my excursion to and from -show ring I took in all the sights. Dogs and bit- ches (the latter is quite correct canine terminology) stood, sat or lay around in various attitudes - some keen, some plainly nervous and others boredwith the whole deal. The show ring itself is • dominated by the judge - and although one can clown around anywhere else - once in that ring your pedigree Is ar'n the line and` you show to your bast advantage. ntage. After a certain number of wins, converted into points. by a process which addles my doggy brain, one becomes a champion. When that day dawns I shall join the select canine company of my kennel mates. Can. Champion Shillalah's Mollie O'Shea and Can. Champion Shillalah's Red Rogue. In the meantime I prefer a dog's eye view of the rolling Huron countryside around the Pullen homestead, - and toss me another dog biscuit. News of Hensall By Bertha MacGregor Amber Rebekah Lodge .
