A new family encyclopedia, or, Compendium of universal knowledge : comprehending a plain and practical view of those subjects most interesting to persons, in the ordinary professions of life : illustrated by numerous engravings . ENCYCLOPEDIA. 89 DOGS,. WATER SPANIEL This kind is chiefly usefulto sportsmen, in the hunt-ing of water-fowl. The POINTER is used by sportsmen for discovering game, whichhe is taught to do with wonderful steadiness and attention. Aided bythe acuteness of their smell, pointers generally approach the spot wherethe game lies; and at length stop, their eyes being steadily fixed uponit, one foot generally somewhat raised from the ground, and the tailextended in a straight line. If the bird runs, the dog discovers it, andsteals cautiously after it, keeping still the same attitude ; and when itstops, he is again steady. The SETTER, is a dog nearly allied to the pointer. His 6cent ismore exquisite, and his muscular powers, for his size, nearly unequal-led. The TERRIER, is asmall and hardy kind ofdog, the name of which isderived from its subterra-neous employments. He isa great enemy to rats, pole-cats, and other species ofvermin.
