MODERN ENGLISH POINTER. 131 II—THE MODERN ENGLISH "Sanoho," a Modern English Pointer. It is possible that this comparatively light and elegant ani- mal has heen produced by careful selection from the original Spanish pointer above described, but it is more probable that in all cases a cross directly with the greyhound, or indirectly with that breed through the foxhound, has been resorted to. In any case, the result is a dog still pointing steadily, and, in many cases, with true cataleptic rigidity, but showing the pace and endurance of the foxhound, and indeed being almost as fast as a slow grey- hound. Instead of the loose heavy frame of the Spanish dog, we have a beautiful compact shape, with sloping shoulders, straight muscular limbs, and a dash which is quite distinct from the inertness of the imported animal. The head is still square.
