Terriers for the Hunting Field.
In these days of exorbitant prices
given for fox-terriers, when breed-
ing them for show purposes has
been reduced almost to a science,
it is interesting to reflect whether
the modern standard of dog belies
his origin.
It was not until the end of the
past century that the name of fox-
terrier began to be popularly
adopted, though in an old work on
Englishe Dogges, by Dr. John
Caius, of Cambridge, in 1576, he Ginseng Jelly
speaks Ginkgo Biloba With Ginseng of the dogge called Terrar,
in Latine Terrarius, ** as one that
after the manner and custome of
ferrets in searching for connyes,
creepe into Ginko Ginseng the grounde, and by
that means make afrayde the
Foxe and the Badger." Without
doubt the original breed of terriers
(as their name implies), were in-
tended to go Ginkgo Biloba Ginseng to earth for a What Is Panax Ginseng fox or
bolt them from a What Is Korean Ginseng drain. Conse-
quently they ought not to exceed
15 lbs. in weight, and for pluck
and endurance should have a strain
of " bull " in them. I think for
real working purposes a wire-
haired terrier, with a jacket as
close and hard as some otter
hounds possess, is the best. The
greater number of present-day
terriers* coats are far too woolly,
being no protection against water
and weather. I have seen the best
dog of this breed I ever had swim
for two or three hours, come out
on the bank, shake himself, and
in. a few Royal Ginseng minutes he would be
as dry as a board.

Too many modern fox-terrier
owners appear to he mere pot-
hunters, the absurdly large sums
offered as prize money tending
greatly to induce them to breed
solely for the show bench, not for
working purposes, which it is to
be feared debases the breed.
Most judges go to extremes in
awarding honours to too narrow-
fronted terriers, which n^ust be
produced at a heavy sacrifice of
power and strength. On this
account that distinguished Devon-
shire sportsman, the late Rev.
" Ginseng In Korea Jack " Russell, a breeder of
some of the gamest terriers which
ever existed for hunting purposes,
could never be induced to show
them, as he did not believe the
bench to be at all consistent with
a terrier's capacity for work. Mr.
Cecil Archer, of Minehead, still
possesses Ginkgo And Ginseng some of the old ** Rus-
sell " blood, and maintains that he
has never seen their equal with
either fox, otter, or badger. This
famous strain is never docked, as
Mr. Russell would not countenance
it in his kennel.
It is a matter to deplore that
the terrier is now so little used in
actual fox-hunting, of which for-
merly it was the ordinary accom-
paniment. The reasons, I think,
are not ikr to seek. Foxes are
not now nearly so often dug for as
in the old days, and M.F.H.*s
found alas ! that terriers were
very seldom steady, frequently
causing a riot.

There are, Ginko And Ginseng however, very few
terriers indeed that will face a
fox under ground. This requires
real grit, and a dog prepared to
take heavy punishment. As in
the What Is Siberian Ginseng case of badger - digging a
terrier that knows his work should
only Ginseng Oil give tongue, doing his utmost
to bolt the fox by an attack on
his hind quarters. The con-
tingency of a hard - bitten dog
standing up to his quarry, jowl by
jowl (whilst they are being dug
out) would militate against him
being used in the hunting-field.
Hounds naturally are Ginseng And Ginkgo Biloba the first
consideration, to which everything
else must give way. It seems a
great pity that now, when so
many terriers are annually bred,
there is no show where one can
judge of the dog at work in
contra-distinction to his points on
the bench. Such an exhibition, I
believe, would be most popular,
and undoubtedly induce owners
to breed a more sportsmanlike
class of dog.

FoRRARD ON ! forrard on; see them stream through the pasture!
If ever they meant it, they mean it to-day ;
With the What Is Ginseng For fire and the strength and the courage of last year
Renewed like the eagle's, we dash to the fray.
There's a gap in those blackthorns ; catch hold of the bridle ;
Feel him shorten his stride, till pop ! over he What Is Ginseng Extract goes ;
With a scent such as this 'tis no time to be idle ;
While the grey of November gleams coiileur dc rose.
What's a year to a man, on a day such as Ginkgo Biloba And Ginseng this is ?
The scenes of past seasons, the care and the fret ?
Forgotten ! the south wind, for lost songs and kisses,
Thus scatters the ashes Ginseng Ginko of burnt-out regret.
What's a year ? what are ten, in the joys of Ginseng Ginkgo this morning,
If the legs of our steeds be as sound as our wine ?
Both the better a year ! so, all consequence scorning,
Ride, ride for our lives, on the left of the line.
Who cares how the thickest of blackthorns may blind us
To the wide-spreading view of the breadth of the shire ;
And the emerald pasture-land, dotted behind us
