We knew very little about them until about 1927, when Commander Sir Edward Chichester imported and began to exhibit a brace that he had obtained in Norway, where he first met them. They proved to be so attractive that other breeders have taken them up and they are well on the way to the popularity they deserve They are x hardy, and have pleasing manners in the home. Many are a foxy-red in colour, though there are other shades of red, and their heads are fox like as well, the muzzle being narrow and tapering and the small ears carried rectly. They are small, being at the outside not more than 19 inches at the shoulder, and they arẹ built on lines that are neat and graceful, and that denote great activity. The bushy tails are carried over the back and the coat, though close is longish and is more profuse, on the shoulders. It is thicker at the back of the thighs, When judging them at shows I have been more than satisfied with their dispositions.

Both sides, particularly the British, missed chances. It was an exciting game, with Aller, the British goalie, and Hiden, a former Austrian, who played in goal for France, making brilliant saves.
