72 HUNTING DOGS. 



American wolf. He has the speed and capacity 

 for catching the wolf, but is unable to cope with 

 him or detain him long enough for the hunter 

 to arrive. Admirers of the dog say he lacks 

 training and adaption and that he will with a 

 generation or two of careful training and 

 practice become the most available dog for the 

 purpose. 



Others get good results by crossing in some 

 fiercer and stronger blood. 



The Russian ^Volfer has somewhat the clean 

 cut appearance of the greyhound, though more 

 stockily built, and has a long, silky coat of wavy 

 or curly hair. 



"In general appearance" says an authority, 

 "he is an elegant, graceful aristocrat among 

 dogs, possessing courage and combining great 

 muscular power with extreme speed, weighing 

 from 75 to 105 pounds.''
