The Fox Terrier. 



often bore the credentials of scars as their "Victoria 

 Cross." 



In the North of England, in Wales, and in some parts of 

 Scotland, fox hunters cannot do without their terriers, such 

 being used by Tommy Dobson, who hunts a few couples of 

 hounds from Eskdale, Cumberland; by Mr. Benson with 

 the Melbrake ; by the Ulleswater ; by the Coniston, by Mr. 

 Jacob Robson with the Border Foxhounds, and by others. 

 Most of these terriers are, however, more or less cross 

 bred, but Mr. Robson's seem pretty much similar in type r 

 wire haired, red or " mustard/ 3 " pepper and salt," and some- 

 times black and tan in colour. They are coming to be 

 known as "Border Terriers," and as they are very useful 

 and handy little dogs, they certainly deserve this special 

 nomenclature.
