Superficially they are all three of similar 
Otterhound type of compact,  straight- 
legged, wire-haired dog; but the Griffon 
Guerlain strain is perhaps the most ele- 
gant in shape and appearance, owing to its 
shorter and less rugged coat and lighter 
build. This breed is usually white in colour, 
with orange or yellow markings, rather short 
drop ears, and a docked tail, and with a 
height of about 22 inches. The nose is 
always brown, and the light eyes are not

hidden by the prominent eyebrows so 
frequent in the French Spaniels. By far 
the most attractive of all the foreign Setter- 
Spaniels, however, is the Korthals Griffon, a 
dog symmetrical in contour, with a noble head 
not unlike that of our Airedale Terrier in 
its length and squareness of muzzle, and 
determined expression of eye. The coat is 
wiry, crisp, and harsh, never curly, with a 
dense undercoat. The colour is steel grey

with dark brown patches, often mingled 
with grey hairs ; or white-grey with lighter 
brown or yellow patches. The height may 
be 23 inches, and the weight 56 Ib. Mr. 
Korthals had the finest team of these 
Griffons that has ever been seen. Occasion- 
ally he exhibited specimens in England, 
and classes were given for the breed by the 
Kennel Club at the show held at Barn 
Elms in the Jubilee year. On one occasion, 
at the Agricultural Hall, Mr. Korthals 
gained with one of his Griffons the special 
prize offered for the best sporting dog in 
the show owned by a foreigner. At the 
present time Mr. A. Huchedé, of Montjean, 
Mayenne, is perhaps the most prominent 
owner of the breed in France. His Porthos 
and Néro were famous a few years ago, and 
his Rip du Makis excels alike as a show dog 
and as a successful worker in field trials.
