The Albanian greyhound resembles the English in form, and like him in 
every particular excepting that he has long and silky hair. 
The Persian greyhound is coated like the setter, and the rough Scotch grey- 
hound, or deer hound, is also in every way formed like his English brother, 
but clothed with rough shaggy hair, and uses his nose to trail his game, while 
almost all the other greyhounds hunt entirely by sight. 
THE DALMATIAN OR COACH DOG 
DALMATIAN DOG. 
Stands about 24 to 25 inches, and very much resem- 
bles the pointer in form and texture of coat, but is 
different in color, being beautifully marked with 
numerous small black spots on a white ground. He is 
fond of horses, makes his home in tho stable, and is 
never tired of following the carriage. 
THE ENGLISH TERRIER 
Is a smoothly-coated animal weighing 6 to 10 pounds. We are now speak- 
ing of the useful dog of this breed, and not the diminutive toys that weigh as 
little as 3 to 4 pounds. His nose is long and tapering, eye bright and liquid, 
ears well set on, and when not trimmed are slightly raised, turning over at the 
tips. High forehead, flat skull, and strong jaw ; neck strong, body well 
shaped, loins powerful for his size, chest deep and not too wide ; shoulders free 
and very powerful to enable him to dig well ; fore legs strong and straight, 
bone light ; tail fine and tapering ; color black and tan. 
THE SCOTCH TERRIER 
Closely resembles the English in all but his coat, which is rough and wire- 
like. His habits are the same, being a great vermin dog. He is found in 
color black and tan and sometimes gray. The skye terrier in some respects is 
like the Scotch, but differs from him in having a long, wcasel-like body, short 
legs, long wide head, long neck, bandy forelegs, and long straight hair parted 
down the back and falling over his sides, coarse in texture, but on the legs 
silky. 
There are two varieties of the skye terrier, one smaller than the other, with 
the coat entirely soft, and the one we have first described. A very favorite 
cross is made between the large skye terrier and the Dandie Dinmont, which 
partakes of the nature and form of both.
