HOUND BREEDING. 29 



Restless, the latter a well-known bitch in the 

 harrier world, and the winner of the Brood Bitch Cup 

 at Peterborough in 1896. The harrier blood gives 

 us Aldenham Valiant, himself a Peterborough winner, 

 and one from a kennel that took a great share of the 

 prizes at Peterborough in the nineties, when Hon. 

 C. R. G. W. Bampfylde was master of the pack. 

 Trojan won in the unentered class at Peterborough 

 in 1903 with Traveller. 



As typical of the Devonshire pied harrier, I have 

 obtained an excellent photograph of The Quarnie 

 Poster '01. 



On glancing through Poster's pedigree it will be 

 seen that for some generations he is of the pure 

 Quarme blood. The late Mr. Chorley, who was 

 master of the Quarme Harriers for many years, 

 always bred from the purest strains of the Devon- 

 shire harrier, and would never use a hound, I have 

 always understood, if there was the slightest trace of 

 foxhound blood in his veins. 



That this class of hound, in height from 

 i8|- inches to 19.^ inches, is most suitable for 

 Devonshire, cannot be doubted. I am told these 

 hounds " are quick as Belvoir bitches, and do the 

 big banks like a stream of running water." 



On the flags they are light of bone, weak at the 

 ankles often, and hare footed, but all acknowledge 

 that they show wonderful sport in their beautiful 

 native county.
