NATURAL HISTORY. 199 



The greyhound, and the shepherd's dog, have pro- 

 duced the mongrel greyhound, which is called the 

 greyhound with wolf's clothing. Of this mongrel 

 the snout is not so thin as that of the Turkish grey- 

 hound, which is very rare in France. 



The large Dane, and the large Spaniel, have pro- 

 duced together the dog of Calabria, which is a hand- 

 some dog with long, thick hair, and which is taller 

 than the larger mastiff. 



The spaniel and terrier produce another kind of dog, 

 which is called the Burgundy spaniel : the spaniel and the 

 little Dane produce the lion dog, which is very scarce. 



The dogs with long, fine, and curled hair, which 

 are called dogs ef Purges, and which are of the size 

 of the largest barbels, come from ihe large spaniel and 

 the barbel . 



The little barbel comes from the small spaniel and 

 the barbel. 



The bull dog produces, with the mastiff, a mongrel, 

 which is called the strong bull dog, and which is much 

 larger than the real bull dog, and approaches the bull 

 dog more than the mastiff. 



The pug comes from the English bull dog, and the 

 little Dane. 



All these races are simple mongrels, and come 

 from the mixture of two pure races ; but there are al- 

 so other dogs which may be called double mongrels, 

 because they come from the mixture of a pure race, 

 and of one already mixed. 



The shock dog is a double mongrel, which comes 

 from the pug and the small Dane. 



The dog of Alicant is also a double mongrel, which 

 comes from the whelp and the little spaniel. 



The Maltese, or lap dog, is a double mongrel, anil 

 comes from the small spaniel and ihe barbel.
