A COUNTRY READER, 



The fox terrier was originally bred to run with 

 a pack of foxhounds, so that when the fox goes to 

 earth the fox terrier disappears in search of him, 

 and when he finds him, he is taught not to close, 

 but to stand barking till fox and dog are dug out. 



FOX TERRIER, " VEN1O." 



As much as 500 has been given for a fox 

 terrier. 



The wire-haired terrier is also a great favourite, 

 and is a plucky game little dog. The coat, as 

 the name tells you, is longish, and of a harsh feel- 

 ing to the touch. The coat of the fox terrier 

 is much shorter and smoother.
