FOR THE FIELD AND FIELD TRIALS. 147 



pointers whimper and give tongue on a trail much 

 after the manner of a rabbit dog. 



Let us now consider the dog more specifically as a 

 member of a pack and also consider the intelligent 

 team work which such membership imposes. He 

 much prefers to work with one of his own kind. The 

 joint efforts of a number are far more certain to re- 

 nlt in success than are the efforts of the lone indi- 



lual. Therefore, whether wild or domestic, they 

 , . -;uch prefer to hunt with each other. 



Wolves take distinct parts in the struggle to effect 

 -a capture. One or two may make a sham attack on 

 a cow while others seize and kill her momentarily 

 uarded calf. Coyotes have been known to sta- 

 K-n themselves with excellent judgment in such 

 manner and places that, as one or more of their num- 

 ber pursued the fleeing antelope, it passed by the oth- 

 ers in turn, and each in turn took up the pursuit and 

 relieved the pursuer, so that the antelope was pitted 

 against a relay of wolves. 



The greyhound, when pursuing animals as swift 

 or swifter than itself, invariably learns to run cun- 

 ning if he is permitted to have even a moderate con- 

 tinuous experience.
