DESCRIPTION AND POINTS OF GREYHOUND 177 



Colour. There is really no rule in this respect, and no 

 allowance should be made in a scale of points. ' A good 

 horse cannot be a bad colour,' is a saying as true when applied 

 to a greyhound. A long chapter and interesting to boot- 

 could be written on the cause and effect of colour- production ; 

 for a good deal remains to be learnt by breeders in this direc- 

 tion. One fact is worth mentioning, however, which may only 



The right sort and the wrong 



be due to the accident of chance. It is that, until Fullerton 

 appeared, no brindled dog had ever gained any marked distinc- 

 tion, though numerous brindled bitches had had their names 

 enrolled as classic winners.
