Owned by Meadowthorpe Kennels, Lexington, Ky. As above stated, written pedigrees were not kept by the tod-hunters; and even at the present a pedigree of one of our most celebrated dogs does not run far on paper until it finishes with such and such a dog, from such and such a pack, well known as workmen in their native country. These Terriers are also named Die-hards, a name re- ported to have been given them by George, first Earl of Dumbarton, who owned a famous pack of them celebrated for their gameness. It is said that he afterward named his favorite regiment (the First Royal Scots) "Dumbar- ton's Die-hards," in compliment to his favorite Terriers,.
