50 THE GREYHOUND. 



order, unimpeded by fat or the distension of other organs, 

 such as the stomach and liver, as would arise from disease 

 or improper feeding. 



It is now for us to consider how such a dog may be 

 obtained. To this end there are, I consider, three essential 

 conditions, with which we may, indeed, fail to produce the 

 very best, but without which we are certain to fail in 

 any endeavour to produce a good one. These are, that 

 the Greyhound shall be well bred, well reared, and well 

 trained, and I think if we take these conditions seriatim, 

 and consider each of them in detail, we cannot fail at least 

 to see the way to the making of a good fair Greyhound 

 one fit for the course and equal competition with his 

 fellows.
