British Dogs. 



Many coursers prefer the pure black or the red ; but a short list, taken 

 from the " Coursing Calendar," will show good greyhounds of many 

 different colours : Scotland Yet and her sons, Canaradzo and Calioja, were 

 white ; Cerito, fawn and white ; Lobelia, brindled and white ; Lady Stor- 

 mont, black and white ; Master M'Grath, black and white ; Beacon, Blue 

 Light, and Sapphire, all blue ; High Idea, blue ticked ; Bed of Stone, Bab 

 at the Bowster, and Sea Cove, red ; Cauld Kail, red ticked ; Mocking 

 Bird, Cashier, Black Knight, all black ; Landgravine and Elsecar, 

 brindled. 



The medium sized dog is by most preferred, and there is a considerable 

 difference both in height and weight between the dog and bitch. 



The dog selected for illustration is strongly typical of the Scotch style 

 of greyhound, but without the coarseness which usually belongs to the 

 scions of the north-country breeds. He was a reddish fawn, with splendid 

 back and loin, good shoulders, and muscular quarters, with good legs and 

 feet, and altogether a thoroughly well-shaped dog. He was the property 

 of J. H. Salter, Esq., Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Kelvedon, Essex, but is now 

 dead. The following is his pedigree and performances : 



Ran first at Ardrossan, February, 1870, winning Sapling Stake. 



Ean at Scottish National, September, 1870, dividing St. Leger (64 dogs) with kennel 

 companion. 



Ran at Scottish National, March, 1871, dividing Biggar Stakes (61 dogs) with kennel 

 companion
