 dog had been given away and he was exhibited by his new owner

 to be heard for some distance round. It will easily be gathered 

 from what has been said that a dog of this breed can hardly be con- 

 sidered a desirable house-dog, however interesting one may prove to 

 those having suitable accommodation for keeping such dogs
