     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�

 ��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

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´

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

eventually give in。��13�А�

     ��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

the pack�察�because they have no confidence in themselves。 Another sort is
