100 THE LIVING ANIMALS OF THE WORLD 
make lively, affectionate companions and 
grand assistants at waterfowl-shooting. 
CLUMBER SPANIELS are always a 
creamy white, with lemon or light tan 
markings, and are rather slow and de- 
liberate in their movements, but have a 
stylish, high-class look about them. 
SUSSEX SPANIELS are also rather heavy 
in build and of muscular frame, but can do 
a day's work with most others. They are 
a rich copper-red in colour, with low 
short bodies, long feathered ears, full eyes 
of deep colour, and are very handsome. 
Brack Spantets should be glossy 
raven-black in colour, with strong 
muscular bodies on strong short legs, 
long pendulous ears, and expressive eyes. 
Good specimens are in high favour, and 
BLOOD_HOUND command long prices. I regret I cannot 
This photograph shows what an almost perfect blood-hound should be like find room for an illustration of this breed, 
so deservedly popular. 
Cockers, which are shorter in the back, higher on the leg, and lighter in weight, being 
usually under 25 lbs., are very popular, full of life, and very attractive in appearance. 
BassET-HOUNDS, both rough-and smooth-coated, are probably the most muscular dogs in 
existence of their height, with much dignity about them. In the Sporting Teams at the 
Royal Agricultural Hall there were some thirteen or fifteen teams of all kinds of sporting 
dogs, and of these a team each of rough and smooth bassets was in the first four. 
DACHSHUNDS are often erroneously treated as Sporting Dogs. There are certainly not so 
many supporters of the breed as formerly. Their lean heads, with long hanging ears, long low 
bodies, and crooked fore legs, give them a quaint appearance. The colours are usually shades 
of chestnut-red or black and tan; but some are seen chocolate and “ dappled,’ which is one 
shade of reddish brown, with spots and blotches of a darker shade all over it. 
Great Danes, though mostly classed amongst Non-sporting Dogs, have much of the hound 
in their bearing and appearance. The whole-coloured are not so popular as the various shades 
of brindle and harlequin, but I have seen many beautiful fawns, blues, and other whole colours.
