THE HARRIERi Is closely allied to the beagle, though larger, more swift, and vigorous. Itis ardent in the chase, and frequently outstrips the fleetest sportsman. Amixed breed, between this and the large terrier, forms a strong, active, andhardy hound, which is used in hunting the otter. It is rough, wire-haired,thick-quartered, long-eared, and thin-shouldered. THE SPANISH POINTERS. Is derived, as its name implies, from Spain, but has long been naturalizedin England, where great attention has been paid to preserve the breed inall its purity. It is remarkable for the aptness and facility with-which itreceives instriiction, and may be said to be almost self-taught; whilst theEnglish pointer requires the greatest care and attention in breaking andtraining for the sport. But on the other hand, it is less capable than theEnglish pointer of enduring fatigue. It is chiefly employed in findingpartridges, pheasants, &c. C. Gallicus. * C avicularis.
