Mrs. Kettles grooms Warlord on kitchen table. Warlord, called "Warry" by Kettles at informal moments, is fed carefully balanced diet but eats no meat except top-grade horseflesh.

Putting paws on table, Warlord waits patiently for grooming. Elaborate tools include tooth scraper, rubber currycomb, three different pairs of barber's shears, nail clippers and nail file.

AT kennel in the country, Warlord is exercised by a long walk with Mr. Kettles and Chief Boatswain's Mate Walkter Foster, who spent week's leave preparing to handle dog in show.

Handler Foster files nails of expensive charge. In peacetime he would have spent three months before show with dog, now spends a week of extra-intensive training.

Returning to city, before show, Foster leads Warlord into shipping crate in station wagon. Handler and dog spent last day together at Kettle's apartment in New York.

At party after show in Kettle’s apartment, Warlord catches well deserved rest on a few mink coats in the bedroom. Completing picture of opulence is orchid at his head.

On the first day of show, Warlord (left) stands in line to be judged in Boxer Best-of-Breed competition. Despite his youth (16 months) he passed this calmly and easily.
