The Beagle Hound is a smaller type of the Fox- hound, but less throaty in proportion to its size and more delicate in its make-up. Its yelp or cry is the most musical of the hound family. The head is broad, tapering towards the nose, which is of medium length and inclined to be pointed. The ears are full and sharp. He is a quiet, peaceable chap, attending to his own affairs. He is a great rabbit dog, and as he gets old is fond of hunting on his own account. In height, accord- ing to the standard, they young beagle hounds. should not extend fifteen inches at the shoulder. They are especially useful in such parts of the country where there are not many places for a rabbit to " ; One of the most peculiar of dogs is the Dachs- hund. He will attract attention anywhere. The measurements of a good dog of this variety are, length from nose to tip of tail, forty-four inches; height at shoulder, ten and one-half inches ; weighty twenty to twenty-two pounds. Smaller varieties weigh from ten to sixteen pounds and are built proportion- ately. In color, they are black and tans, chestnut and tans, and solid reds. The skin is looser on a Dachs- hund than on any other variety. The Dachshund is perhaps the least amenable to discipline of all the varieties. St. Bernard dogs are among the largest of the race. There are two kinds—the short-haired, smooth- coated, and the long-haired type. The former is the variety bred at the Hospital of St. Bernard, on the Alps^.
