3 02 HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS. 



A good Dog watches, goes his rounds; and, if any 

 ftrange cattle mould happen to appear amongft the herd, 

 although unbidden, he quickly flies at them, and with 

 keen bites obliges them to depart. 



Similar to the Cur, is that which is commonly ufed in 

 driving cattle to the flaughter : And as thefe Dogs have 

 frequently to go long journies, great ftrength, as well as 

 fwiftnefs, is required for that purpofe. They are there- 

 fore generally of a mixed kind ; and unite in them the 

 feveral qualities of the Shepherd's Dog, the Cur, the 

 Maftiff, and the Greyhound, — Thus, by a judicious mix- 

 ture of different kinds, the fervices of the Dog are ren- 

 dered (till more various and extenfive, and the great pur- 

 pofes of domeftic utility more fully anfwered.
