Once one dog was probably the first animal to be fully began barking, numerous others would join domesticated or "tamed". Opinion has it in unison and it seemed nothing short of a • that the domestic dog was derived from the northern wolf and the jackel, but of which have long been extinct. ` There is no domestic animal that shows so much variation in size, color, coat and behavior than that of the dog. The smallest breed is the chihuahua, a breed of dog that has developed from the Mexican hairless dog. It can weigh up to six pounds and the smallest is known to have weighed 1 and 3/4 pounds. The largest breed of dog is the St. Bernard and the Mastiff - a hunting dog. A St. Bernard can reach up to 28 inches in height and. weigh 200 pounds, while the Mastiff can weigh up to 165 pounds and can be 30 inches tall. In between these two breeds fall such types as the Great Dane, the Scotch Terrior, the Greyhound, the Bulldog and the Dashhound, only to mention a few. During the second half of the 16th century, the breeds were divided into three classes - high bred, country and mongrel. By the time money the owners had invested in grooming of the 18th century, there were known to be aids and tools, fancy collars, cages to put 35 different breeds listed. Today there is at them in at night and for moving purposes, least 100 distinct breeds, with the number not to speak of the breed of dogs themselves, rising considerably.

How did it come to be held in Blyth, with very few local people with dogs entered? When one of the organizers who asked this question, he said that it all boiled down to two things. The first, and most important, was the financial reasoning behind it. It seemed that Blyth was more economical for the money. Secondly, the atmosphere - the friendship in the community. They couldn't get over how welcome and relaxed the peo- ple local merchants made them feel almost s if they were at home. The ladies from The Anglican Church also did a super job as did other years, in having meals available for purchase around the clock. As I wondered throughout the arena, there were dogs of every size, shape and color, not to speak of the breed.
