Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton

"The
shoulders
are
of
great
power,
and
terminate
in
the
crooked
feet
of
the
Basset,
which
appear
to
be
a
mass
of
joints.
The
back
and
ribs
are
strong,
and
the
former
of
great
length.
"The
stern
is
carried
gaily,
like
that
of
hounds
in
general,
and
when
the
hound
is
on
the
scent
of
game
this
portion
of
his
body
gets
extremely
animated,
and
tells
me,
in
my
own
hounds,
when
they
have
struck
a
fresh
or
a
cold
scent,
and
I
even
know
when
the
foremost
hound
will
give
tongue.
"The
hind-quarters
are
very
strong
and
muscular,
the
muscles
standing
rigidly
out
down
to
the
hocks.
"The
skin
is
soft
in
the
smooth
haired
dogs,
and
like
that
of
any
other
hound,
but
in
the
rough
variety
it
is
like
that
of
the
Otterhound's.
"Colour,
of
course,
is
a
matter
of
fancy,
although
I
infinitely
prefer
the
tricolour,
which
has
a
tan
head
and
a
black
and
white
body."
