Lancashire is the home and centre of Harrier hunting, and the 

 Holcombe pack is pure Harrier blood. Sergeant and Swinger are a 

 wonderful pair, pronounced by competent judges to be the grandest 

 couple of Harriers in Lancashire, which is about equivalent to saying in 

 the world. The three are thoroughly representative and true made 

 Lancashire Harriers, not too large, but strong, compact dogs, with 

 plenty of lip and plenty of music, with still a nice clean neck, grand 

 ribs, and low, good straight legs and cat feet, just the stamp to give 

 a good account of themselves over the rough bleak hills of the country, 

 where it is not a question of doubling round a few fields, but, after all 

 the windings, of killing the game three or four miles as the crow flies 

 from the find.
