His eyes set deep beneath brows bristling like a wire-haired terrier's were on the boy in the farther corner, who sat on his backer's knee, shoeless, stripped to the buff, with an angry red mark on the right breast below the collar-bone; a slight boy and a trifle undersized, but lithe, clear-skinned, and in the pink of condition; a handsome boy, too.
She had asserted, quite definitely, that her husband had suffered from shell-shock. That Radmore believed to be quite untrue. With quickened, painful interest he read her account of how odd and how cranky Colonel Crofton had become when wholly absorbed in his hobby of breeding wire-haired terriers.
I have myself generally coursed with scratch packs, including perhaps a couple of greyhounds, a wire-haired deer-hound, and two or three long legged mongrels. However, we generally had at least one very fast and savage dog a strike dog in each pack, and the others were of assistance in turning the game, sometimes in tiring it, and usually in helping to finish it at the worry.
"Age," said I. "There has never been a dog grow old in our family that he didn't sooner or later develop a kind of second puppyhood. I have seen them do all manner of inexplicable things, and one old, toothless, wire-haired terrier used to snap at his shadow on the wall." "I should hate to have him die," said Julianna when we were on the street again.
A wire-haired black and tan terrier was once common in Suffolk and Norfolk, where it was much used for rabbiting, but it may now be extinct, or, if not extinct, probably identified with the Welsh Terrier, which it closely resembled in size and colouring.
The first time the two biggest hounds deer-hounds or wire-haired greyhounds were tried, when they had been at the ranch only three days, they performed such a feat. A large wolf had killed and partially eaten a sheep in a corral close to the ranch house, and Porter started on the trail, and followed him at a jog-trot nearly ten miles before the hounds sighted him.
Missed his wife pretty excuse! Indecent, I call it!" The speaker was the little wire-haired man; and emotion, deep and angry, stirred in Mr. Bosengate. That ill-bred little cur! He gripped the edge of the table with both hands. "I think it's d -d natural!" he muttered. But almost before the words had left his lips he felt dismay.
They shoot deserters at the front, and we let this fellow off. I'd hang the cur." Mr. Bosengate stared at that little wire-haired brute. "Haven't you any feeling for others?" he wanted to say. "Can't you see that this poor devil suffers tortures?"
"Where did you pick up that puppy?" asked Parson Jack, after watching the pair up the street. "What's that to you?" "Nothing at all; only I'm a judge of wire-haired terriers, and he has a touch of breed somewhere. Well, if you won't answer that question, I'll try you with another. Is that Gertrude or Ada?" He nodded up the street. "That's Ada. Gertrude is indoors, trimming a hat.
The intense inflammation that we have set up, materially injures the internal structure of this organ. Deafness is occasionally produced by it in some dogs, and constantly in others. The frequent deafness of the pug is solely attributable to the outrageous as well as absurd rounding of his ears. The almost invariable deafness of the white wire-haired terrier is to be traced to this cause. Mr.
