More Arctic Dogs—and Others 
Australian sire. This is 
not the first litter of these 
hybrids Mr. Brooke has 
bred: one of a previous 
litter he presented to Mr. 
Walter Rothschild, to whom 
theanimal became extremely 
attached, following him 
about in his rides, only 
occasionally leaving him to 
lull a chicken or two. It 
was desired to mate the wolf 
with the white wolf whose 
portrait was also given on 
page 224, but she obstinately 
refused all his advances 
until her time seemed passed, 
when she was again placed 
with her old kennel-mate, 
to whom she is devotedly 
attached, and the litter 
portrayed was the result. The dingo is an 
excellent father. As each cub was born he 
would help to dry and clean it; as they began 
to toddle about he would superintend their 
personal cleanlmess; and when the time 
came for them to be weaned he would 
bring up his food for them in the manner 
familiar to all breeders in the females of 
the domestic dog. How different this from 
the domestic dog, who either 
strongly objects to or at least 
ignores his helpless offspring. 
We are sorry to learn that 
these cubs are now all dead, 
with the exception of the 
large light-coloured one 
sitting up at the back, 
which is now the property 
of Mr. A. J. Sewell, the 
eminent canine specialist.

and the majority of the specimens seen, so 
Mr. H. C. Brooke tells us, are of rather 
inferior quality. ‘“ Lun-Tai,” however, the 
property of Miss Casella, is a most bigh-class 
specimen, as may be imagined from the fact 
that he was picked out on purpose for his 
present owner by a mandarin at Hong-Kong 
from a crowd of over a hundred chows 
brought in for him to select from.
