. Biggle pet book ; a collection of information for old and young whose natural instincts teach them to be kind to all living creatures. Pets. 26 BIGGLE PET ROUGH-COATED ST. BERNARD AND BABY. where these intelligent are used to aid and rescue storm-lost travelers. At present the long-haired va- riety seems to be the most popular, but this is mainly a matter of choice. In color, St. Bernards are orange, tawny, red, and gray-brin- dled, with a mixture of white with any of these ; but a white chest, feet, point of tail, and white around the nose and collar are obligatory for show-dogs. The coat of the rough-haired is shaggy, but flat in texture. The smooth-haired has a coat like a hound. (See illus- tration, page 49.) St. Bernards are not apt to be vicious and savage; they are strong, massive, active and courageous. They delight in the company of children and are excellent guardians for them. They measure from twenty-eight to thirty-live inches in height at the shoulder and weigh from one hundred and twenty to two hundred pounds. English Mastiffs have been bred for years as protectors, guardians and watch-dogs. They have been trained to go the rounds of buildings and grounds as regularly - as a watchman. They are docile, and seem to have an instinctive knowledge of the difference between an honest man and a thief. Usually, just a look at a Mastiff is all that a tramp will need. They are patient.
