176 Modern Dogs. 



sometimes turning to darker colours, such as red and 

 a grizzled black and tan, but white predominating 

 — being the favourite colour of the Squire. Here 

 they had smooth as well as rough hounds, and par- 

 ticular attention was paid to their music. I have 

 heard it stated by old hunters who knew these 

 hounds well, that of all the packs they had ever 

 hunted with, they never saw or heard one that 

 excelled the Lanharran. After the death of Mr. 

 Jenkins, they were handed over to the late Mr. W. 

 Morgan, Tremains, who carried them on until his 

 death. They were later on removed to Braich-y- 

 Cymmer, in the Ogmore Valley, where, after a few 

 years, they found their way back again to Llan- 

 harron. From thence Col. Blandy Jenkins drafted 

 them to different packs now hunting in Glamorgan- 

 shire — principally to the Ystrad. There was 

 another pack of Welsh hounds, viz., the " Croes- 

 cade," kept by one of the best sportsmen and finest 

 judges of Welsh hounds that Wales ever possessed 

 — the late Mr. William Perkins, of Croes-cade. 

 These were similar hounds to the Lanharran, both 

 in make and shape, but their voices were not so 

 fine. I believe in the present day a good deal of 

 this blood found its way into the kennels of Lord 

 Tredegar and the Llangibby.
