The St. Bernard Dog Show: Leila, the Champion Smooth-Coated Female, 1883. 'The second grand dog show of the St. Bernard Club of London was held on three days last week, opening Tuesday, at the Duke of Wellington's Riding-School, Knightsbridge. The show proved successful and attractive to a large number of visitors. Our Sketches include those of two of the finest of these noble animals..."Leila," the champion female of the smooth-coated variety, belonging to Mr. Richard Thornton, of Sydenham...Leila, two years old, was bred by her present owner; her sire was Roland and her dam Nellie, both of pure and noble strain; she won a first prize last year, and twice at the Crystal Palace Dog Shows. There were 264 entries in all, including rough and smooth coated animals of different ages, the "litter class" of puppies, the "novice class" of those which had never won a prize, the "selling class," and a special class not for competition, being owned by gentlemen who acted as judges'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
