There are two breeds of sporting dogs�此 �the Castorian and the fox´
like。��1�А�The former get their name from Castor�察�in memory of the delight
he took in the business of the chase�察 �for which he kept this breed by
preference。��2�А �The other breed is literally foxy�察 �being the progeny
originally of the dog and the fox�察�whose natures have in the course of ages
become blent。��3�А�
��1�А 。�Kastoriai���察 �or Laconian�察 �approaching possibly the harrier type�察�
��alopekides���察�i。e。 vulpocanine�察�hybrid between fox and dog。 ��2�А�Or�察 �get
their appellation from the fact that Castor took delight in the business
of the chase�察 �and kept this breed specially for the purpose。; Al。
��diephulaxen���察 �propagated and preserved the breed which we now
have。; See Darwin�察 �Animals and Plants under Domestication�察─ �ii。
202�察�209。
��3�А �Or�察 �and through lapse of time the twofold characteristics of
their progenitors have become blent。; See Timoth。 Gaz。 ap。 Schneid。
ad loc。 for an ancient superstition as to breeds。
Both species present a large proportion of defective animals��4�А�which
fall short of the type�察 �as being under´sized�察 �or crook´nosed�撮�5�А �or gray´
eyed�撮�6�А �or near´sighted�察 �or ungainly�察 �or stiff´jointed�察 �or deficient in
strength�察�thin´haired�察�lanky�察�disproportioned�察�devoid of pluck or of nose�察�or
unsound of foot。 To particularise�此 �an under´sized dog will�察 �ten to one�察�
break off from the chase��7�А�faint and flagging in the performance of his
duty owing to mere diminutiveness。 An aquiline nose means no mouth�察�
and consequently an inability to hold the hare fast。��8�А�A blinking bluish
eye implies defect of vision�撮�9�А�just as want of shape means ugliness。��10�А�
The stiff´limbed dog will come home limping from the hunting´field�撮�11�А�
just as want of strength and thinness of coat go hand in hand with
incapacity for toil。��12�А �The lanky´legged�察 �unsymmetrical dog�察 �with his
shambling gait and ill´ compacted frame�察 �ranges heavily�察 �while the
spiritless animal will leave his work to skulk off out of the sun into shade
and lie down。 Want of nose means scenting the hare with difficulty�察 �or
only once in a way�察 �and however courageous he may be�察 �a hound with

��13�А�Or�察 �Nor will courage compensate for unsound feet。 The toil and
moil will be too great to endure�察�and owing to the pains in his feet he
will in the end give in。;
Similarly many different modes of hunting a line of scent are to be
seen in the same species of hound。��14�А�One dog as soon as he has found
the trail will go along without sign or symptom to show that he is on the
scent�察�another will vibrate his ears only and keep his tail��15�А�perfectly still�察�
while a third has just the opposite propensity�此�he will keep his ears still
and wag with the tip of his tail。 Others draw their ears together�察 �and
assuming a solemn air�撮�16�А�drop their tails�察�tuck them between their legs�察�
and scour along the line。 Many do nothing of the sort。��17�А�They tear madly
about�察 �babbling round the line when they light upon it�察 �and senselessly
trampling out the scent。 Others again will make wide circuits and
excursions�察�either forecasting the line�撮�18�А�they overshoot it and leave the
hare itself behind�察 �or every time they run against the line they fall to
conjecture�察�and when they catch sight of the quarry are all in a tremor�撮�19�А�
and will not advance a step till they see the creature begin to stir。
��14�А�Or�察 �Also the same dogs will exhibit many styles of coursing�此�one
set as soon as they have got the trail pursue it without a sign�察 �so there

��15�А �Stern。;
��16�А �Or ;with their noses solemnly fixed on the ground and sterns

��17�А �Or�察 �have quite a different action;�察 �exhibit quite another

��19�А �Reading ��tremousi���察 �fall a´trembling;�察 �al。 ��atremousi���察 �stand

A particular sort may be described as hounds which�察�when hunting or
pursuing�察�run forward with a frequent eye to the discoveries of the rest of
the pack�察�because they have no confidence in themselves。 Another sort is
over´confidentnot letting the cleverer members of the pack go on ahead�察�
but keeping them back with nonsensical clamour。 Others will wilfully hug
every false scent�撮�20�А �and with a tremendous display of eagerness�察�
whatever they chance upon�察�will take the lead�察�conscious all the while they
are playing false�撮�21�А�whilst another sort again will behave in a precisely
similar style out of sheer ignorance。��22�А�It is a poor sort of hound which
will not leave a stale line��23�А�for want of recognising the true trail。 So�察�too�察�
a hound that cannot distinguish the trail leading to a hare's form�察 �and
scampers over that of a running hare�察�hot haste�察�is no thoroughbred。��24�А�
��20�А�Al。 ;seem to take pleasure in fondling every lie。;
