THE ITALIAN GREYHOUND. 
THE TURKISH GREYHOUND. 
These are small varieties of this group, which are 
very timid, and seem to suffer much from the cold 
of this part of Europe. The former is either white 
or sable coloured. The latter has the skin nearly 
naked. 
These which next follow are included in the 
second subdivision of the dogs of Mr. F. Cuvier, 
before alluded to. 
THE shepherd’s DOG. LE CHIEN DE BERGER. 
Cards Domesticus, L. 
This well known animal is covered with long 
shaggy hair, and has little personal beauty to re- 
commend it. The colour is, in general, varied black 
and gray. The ears, unlike those of most of the 
domesticated varieties, are short and erect ; and the 
tail, which is bushy, is sometimes found directed 
horizontally, or even pendant, but more generally a 
little curved.
