66 HUNTING DOGS. 



able dog. There are plenty of dogs that will 

 hunt and trail wolves all right, but very few 

 that will hunt the pups. 



Sometimes when your dog trails in near the 

 pups you Avill get a fight, and sometimes they 

 will jump out and run for it. Sometimes if 

 the pups are quite young you will find the mother 

 in with them and for the first few days she will 

 be found near them, but as they grow older she 

 will be found farther away. 



A Minnesota Avolfer who averages 35 wolves 

 a year pins his faith in the long eared variety 

 of hounds, with features of strength, endurance, 

 good tonguers and stayers. 



From another source we are advised that 

 the best dogs ever for coyotes, are part English 

 blue and Russian stag. English blue are very 

 fast and the stag are long winded and have the 

 grit to make a good fight. 



Another admired and capable dog is the 

 one-half Scotch stag hound and one-half grey 

 hound. 



A Wisconsin hunter writes tliat the best 

 breed to catch and kill coyotes are one-half shep- 

 herd and one-half hound. They are faster than 

 a hound and trail just as well on a hot trail. 



Another fast breed for co3'otes is a one- 

 fourth English bull, one-fourth blood hound and 

 one-half fox hound.
