The St. Bernard Dog Show: Bayard, the Champion Rough-Coated Dog, 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... the champion rough-coated dog, "Bayard," owned by the Rev. J. Cumming Macdona, of West Kirby, Cheshire...Bayard is the son of Bosco and Juno, bred by Mr. T. King, of Tooting, with a notable pedigree; was born in April, 1877, and has stood champion at the Crystal Palace, at Birmingham, and at five or six provincial exhibitions, besides thrice winning the hundred-guinea cup of the St. Bernard Club...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.
