Norwegian Bear Dogs. 
Dog fanciers of this country may. within a 
short time have an entirely new breed of dogs 
to deal with and to see in the shows. These are 
Norwegian beardogs, and what is probably their 
most remarkable quality is the way in which 
they combine the qualities of a number of other 
breeds of canines. 
Primarily hunting dogs, though their only 
identification as hounds lies in their ability to 
trail by scent, they make splendid companions 
and will recognize only one master, although 
they display only gentleness toward other 
people. 
Mr. Edward P. McMurray, of Canton, Mass., 
purchased two pairs of beardogs two years ago, 
and although he was unfortunate in losing one 
dog through sickness and in having another 
one stojen, he has successfully raised a litter 
of seven puppies, and has since imported an¬ 
other male dog. 
The dogs range in color from jet black to a 
beautiful sabled gray; some of them wit-h a de¬ 
cided tawny tinge in the llulff or under fur, 
and carrying the same tint into the short hair 
of the mask. 
The coat of these dogs is wonderful. It is a 
double coat, a sabled, straight-haired outer coat 
lying smoothly over a fluff, or woolly under¬ 
coat which is usually much lighter in color. 
This is of course the typical coat of all dogs 
bred in cold climates. 
The hair on the neck is erectile, and it rises 
in an angry ruff when they begin to fight, like 
that on most fighting dogs. The hair on the 
breast spreads out like a bib or short ruff, and 
between the fore legs and down the belly it lies 
in a raised ridge for all the world as though the 
dog had been sewn into his skin. 
The body is well muscled, especially in the 
neck and fore quarters, as the powerful should¬ 
ers are used constantly in fighting when at the 
first attack the dogs throw themselves against 
the enemy to bowl him over, so that they can 
get their hold before he has recovered from the 
imi)act of the rush.
