The Greyhound 625 



the width at hocks being to permit the hind legs to pass the forelegs when the 

 dog is galloping. The hocks should show strength of bone and sinew and 

 the haunches and thighs should be extremely muscular. 



Feet. — Stonehenge admitted both cat and hare foot, as each had its ad- 

 vocates; personally he believed the round cat foot was more liable to "break 

 down" than the hare foot, but what is of more importance than the form is 

 that the feet should not be flat or open. They should be well knuckled up 

 with good strong claws. 



Tail. — Fine, free from fringe, long and nicely curved toward the end. 



Colour and Coat. — Colour having no effect upon a dog's speed, this is 

 immaterial. The coat should be short, smooth and firm in texture.
