RACING PEKES
"At the home of Mrs Phipps-Hornby, her five pedigree Pekingese dogs are put into traps, then race around an enclosed track in her garden, greyhound style.

The Bulldog? Probably not an example of a dog from yesteryear to hold up as a template today's breeders should be be aiming for...
