THE COLLIE AND SHEEP DOG. 



TN eastern couutriea where the sheep follow the shepherd, the 

 ■*• duties that lull upon the dog are simpler and require less in- 

 telligence than those performed by the European breeds. Their 

 task is chiefly to defend the nocks and herds from wild beasts and 

 robbers, and" for this purpose the wolf-like Turkoman watch dog 

 and the sheep dog of Natalia are, by their great strength and 

 courage, eminently fitted. The former is described by 8ir. J. 

 McNeill as a shaggy animal, nearly as large as the Newfoundland 

 dog, and very tierce and powerful, the dam of the specimen lie. 

 describes having killod a full-grown wolf without assistance. The 

 Bheep dog of Europe is generally classed among the wolf-like dogs, 

 owing to the erect or semi-bred character of its ears, its pointed 

 nose aud shaggy covering; and Button, for such reasons, re- 

 garded it as uearest to the primitive type of the domestic dog. It 

 is more reasonable to suppose wUh Martin ( ''Hist of the dog") 

 that these poiuta "only indicate purity of breed unalloyed by ad- 

 mixture with other varieties." Tho fact that its life ia spent al- 

 most entirely out of doors, and that it hits little or no opportunity 

 of mixing with dogs other than its own .kind would tend to pre- 

 serve uniformity m external appearance ; while its high cerebral 

 development and intelligence prove, beyond a doubt, that the 

 breed of sheep dogs is one of the most; highly improved, aud iu 

 this respect, remotest Irom the primitive type. Its whole intellect 

 is devoted to the ono duty of tending its master's flocks, and in 

 the performance of this it ia equally sagacious, vigilaut aud 

 patient. At a word or ev6n a look from its master it will gather the 

 sheep scattered for miles a round to one place. During and after 

 the Bnowstorms, to which Highland distracts are frequently exposed 

 the sheep dog is invaluable in saving its master's property from 

 almost total destruction. Without it the Highland of Scotland 

 would be almost useless for sheep farming purposes. " It would 

 require," says the Ettriek Shepherd, " nine hands to manage a 

 stock of sheep, gather them from the hills, force them into houses 

 and folds, and drive them to markets— more than the profit of the 

 whole stock would be capable of maintaining. 1 ' The sheep dog stauds 

 about fifteen inches high, is covered with long, shaggy hair of a 

 black color, varied with dark gray or fulvous brown, and its tall is 

 of moderate letigih, slightly recurved and bushy. Indisposition 

 it is quiet, and although not quarrelsome, it shows great courage 

 in defending its charge. It will nwt wantonly attack a stranger, 

 but evidently regards thru with suspicion, and rejects all friendly 

 advanoes. There are three varieties of sheep dog found in Great 

 Britain— viz. : The Scottish collie, standing only from twelve to 

 fourteen inches high, and regarded as the purest and most in- 

 telligent : the Southern sheep dog, of larger size but with shorter 

 fur, and having the tail often very short, a peculiarity which, ac- 

 cording to Bell, "appeal's to he perpetuated from parents whos o 

 tails have been cut ;" aud the drover's dog, or eur, generally black 

 and white in color, and taller in its limbs than the others. It is 

 employed in driving sheep aud cattle to the city markets, and in 

 the discharge of this duty shows intelligence quite equal to thatof 

 the other varieties, although in the treatment of the herds under 

 its charge, it often displays a more savage disposition. The sheep 

 doga of South America are so trained as to unite in themselves the 

 duties of dog aud shepherd. " When riding," says Darwin, ' it is 

 a common thing to meet a large flock of sheep, guarded by one or 

 two dogs, at the distance of some miles from any house or man." 

 And on inquiry he found out the method by which this friendship 

 betweou dog and sheep had been established. The dog when a 

 puppv is removed from its mother, turd is no longer allowed lu as- 

 sociate with other dogs or eveu with the children of the family. 

 It is kept m a aheap pen and suckled by a owe. Generally also it 

 ia castrated and thus has Utile or no community or feeling with its 

 kind. Brought up among the sheep it shows no desire to leave the 

 Hook, hut assumes the position of leader. "It is amusing," says 

 the above writer, " to observe, when approaching a flock, how the 

 dog immediately advances barking, aud the sheep ail close in 

 his rear as if around the oldest ram," It comes home daily for 

 food, on receipt of which it immediately returns to the flock, and 



this it is often taught to bring home in the evening.— Ency:;' • .. ■ . ,

RED IRISH SETTERS IM NEW HAMPSHIRE. 



PniLAOEnruiA. Sept. 27, 1831. 



IN my journeys this Bummer, from ail I eould gathor in New 

 England, quail are almost extinct, and it in seldom, if ever, a 

 brood is seen. The ruffed grouse and woodooek are tho only game 

 on which setters and pointers are worked. The latter birds are quite 

 numerous throughout New Hampshire, and mauv are killod as 

 soon as tliov return from the mora elevated sections of the country, 

 where they resort to pass the month. I saw at Dover, N. H., one 

 splendid bag made at "Milton Throe Ponds," and a beantifnl 

 catch of black bass taken from tho ponds by the proprietor of one 

 of the hotels of that city. The fish would average oue pound in 

 weight, and not a few between two and three pouuds. 1 was told 

 by the gentleman who took them, that while trolling he saw mauv 

 teal on " Milton Three Ponds," At Portsmouth, N. II., 1 met Mr". 

 Nelson, the owner of Elcho in., and had the pleasure of seeing 

 his famed red setter work. I take him to be the finest specimen of 

 the red Irish setter in America to day— not excepting Berkley. 

 Elcho III. is a truly typical dogof tho breed; Mr. Nelson shoots over 

 him regularly, and I was told by other sportsmen of Portsmouth 

 that the animal was hard to beat. I Should most cortuiuly prefer: 

 to use him as a sire, if 1 wished to breed reds, knowing m I do of 

 his being constantly worked, than to select other champion winners 

 to breed from, all oIhc being equal. I missed a fine opportunity of 

 seeing Elcho III. in the field, for the very morning I left Ports- 

 mouth I was invited bv Dr. Sherborne and Mr. Nelson to take a 

 little turn around the country with them. Dr. Sherborne, bye the 

 bye, baa a good old-time setter, DaBh — chestnut, white and tan — 

 which they all toll mo is noted for woodcock. The strain goes back 

 to the importation of Rosa Winans of AH through New 



Hampshire I noticed many red dogs of Elcho blood, and ou inquiry 

 found they were his descendants. At the Kimball House, whore I 

 stopped over night, one of the employers owned a beautiful bitch, 

 Sallio, a granddaughter of Elcho, and having her tail, which had 

 been cropped just short enough to ruiu the flag. I never saw a 

 handsomer animal, aud withal a more traotiblo or better broken 

 one save perhaps those of tho kennel of Mr. Everett Smith, of 

 Portland, Me. One thing struck me strangely regarding these 

 Elcho dogs of New Hampshire. Knowing the headstrong disposi- 



h-ad a great deal. The pills that I gave were those prescrlbad for 

 distemper by Dlnka, Mayhew aud Hutchinson, lie still dlschirces

B08T0N DOGS— Boston, Oct. 1, 1881 — E'Htor Forest and Stream: 

 — BoBtou has practically solved the canine problem. Tho system 

 of doing away with stray dogs at the Hub is a decided success. 

 The annual report of the citv's officer for tho care of unUceused 

 dogs (Mr. Al. Watts) shows "that I he number of dogs killed during 

 the soason is 418, a marked decrease from tho total of laBt year. 

 In fact, a proportionate' di entire ba- been noted for every year 

 Binoe Mr. Watts was first commissioned. Thin fact is due to' the 

 evident desire of dog owners to keep only such a- are well-bred 

 and valuable, which fueling remits, necessarily, in diminishiug 

 tho number of worthless animals watch were Once bo numerous 

 upon our streets. An effort was made, last spring, ii 

 of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Ci 

 mals, seeking to iutrust this work into its bauds : but it was found, 

 upon investigation, that tho hocietv had no plans to submit by 

 which the condemned canines could bo more speedily or mercifully 

 doprivod of life than those adopted several years ago aud since 

 then practiced by Mr. Watts. Since the systematic destruction of 

 worthless dogs has been in vogue the value of well-bred animals 

 has visibly increased, aud a great stimulus has been given to the 

 breeditig of fine sporting dogs and houso pete. The eity of Bos- 

 ton, visitors tell us, can boast not onlv of tho finest horji 9 in tin- 

 world, but the finest doga as woll. The city, too, is noticeably free 

 from the nuisances which were wont to prowl about the streets, 

 rendering them not only uncleanly aud repulsive, but absolutely 

 dangerous in mauv instance:-. Mr. Watts retires from the position 

 he has so long filfod with the approval aud commendation of all 

 with whom he has officially come into contact.— Doo'b Tab, 



HOTTENTOT DOGS.— Remarkable specimens of their kind arc 

 the doga which the Hottentots keep for the protection of their 

 flocks aud herds from the ravages of the wild beasts, and it is 

 soarcely necessary to Bay that, for the work thov have to do, these 

 dogs are endowed with immense strength and courage. They are 

 very Btrong-limbed, with a shaggy coat of a dirty gray tint, a 

 sharp muzzle and long, straight ears. At night, whou the flock or 

 herd, as tho case may be, in folded, four of these dogs keBp watch 

 over it, one at each corner of the square ; aud they never lie down, 

 silting up on their hind legs with their muzzle woll forward, so as 

 to catch the least Hound. Once au hour one of the four dogs leaves 

 his post and goewseveral paces forward to make sure that tho ene- 

 my is not attempting to surprise him aud hm comrades. The four 

 dogs do this in turn with the regularity of clockwork. Their in- 

 stinct, when a tiger or leopard is at hand, is almost miraculous, 

 " at the first bark given by tho alarm-dog all the others rush to 

 e thai the enemy in likely to be too powerful 

 i how] loud enough to attract the dogs from 

 No wonder that tho Hottentot looks upon 

 nf his family, for beside their prowess aud 

 sagacity the exploits of tho St. Bernards sink into insignificance.—
