            <text>CHAMPION CRAFTSMAN OF WALNUT HALL&#13;
Mrs. Harkness Edwards, Owner &#13;
Donerail, Kentucky &#13;
&#13;
Vying with Esquire whose page size dog in color each month has introduced, a dignitary from many breeds, our March cover shows a ranking member of our special variety, the imposing champion Craftsman of Walnut Hall. His son, Guardsman, is the choice selection for the March magazine for men. Guardsman is one of the seven champions sired by Craftsman, the others — Crowehaven Craftsman, Gnome of Walnut Hall, Garnet of Walnut Hall, Topper of Walnut Hall, Gunman of Walnut Hall, Graphite of Walnut Hall, in addition to several on their way to the crowning title, leaves little doubt but what Craftsman will symbolize his clan as something more than little rabbit hounds. Best in Show seven times, sixty times Best of Hound Group, Craftsman takes leadership with the eminent beagle en-voys of all time in attracting attention to our sport in making dog folks aware of the breed. Down in the Kentucky Bluegrass country famous for its studs, at Donerail, Craftsman still reigns top hound over the Walnut Hall Kennels of Mrs. Harkness Edwards, where he was bred and retired to the stud in 1942. &#13;
&#13;

Closely resembling her dam in head, general conformation and coloring, Hurray is out of Carol of Walnut Hall, she's a daughter of Ch. Saddlerock Sandman and Ch. Charity of Walnut Hall. Regally bred through her dam, the other half is equally imposing, for Hurray's sire is Walnut Hall's famous color bearer, Ch. Craftsman of Walnut Hall, the high mogul whose show career brought him eleven best in all breed shows, sixty-one times best hound in show. Now retired, his ring days over, his brilliant producing record has brought him eight champion sons and daughters. His sire, Ch. Thornridge Toney is recognized generally for influence in creating distinctive hounds — beautiful type: Craftsman's dam is that matchless producing bitch Ch. Charmac Healthy, the dam of eight champions. Strictly line bred with Charity a full sister to Craftsman gives two close crosses to Toney, Healthy and Sandman. Completing her championship with a three pointer at Butler, Pa., Hurray's other three point win was at Twin Brooks. She gathered two points each at Mercer County, winners; Massillon, best of winners and best opposite sex; same at Rubber City; Erie County Vacationland, winners; Niagara Falls and Buffalo, best of winners; one point for best of winners at Dayton.
