BULLDOGS ON SHOW.
FIRST ANNUAL EXHIBITION.
IMPROVEMENT IN THE BREED
The National Bulldog Club of New Zealand has suspended its activities since the war, but they were revived on Saturday, when the first annual show of the new series was held, about 30 being present. Good entries were received and the judge, Mr. T. Francis, expregident of the Junior Bulldog Club of London, commented on the fine standard of the dogs and the great improvement in bulldog breeding made in New Zealand during the past three years.
