Although the Greyhound hunts by "sight," he is by no means "devoid" of hunting by "scent," as the Foxhound, Otterhound, etc. Misterton, winner of the Waterloo Cup in 1879 (63 lbs. weight); Coomassie, winner of the Waterloo Cup twice (weight 42 lbs.); Master M'Grath, winner of the Waterloo Cup three times (54 lbs.), and Fullerton (65 lbs.), winner of the Waterloo Cup three times and a division of it the fourth time with his kennel companion, may be said to have been the grandest quartet of Greyhounds ever gracing the course. To enter into a detailed account of the Greyhound would be quite outside the title and scope of this work, therefore the author will only give a brief outline of some of the more important points of these fleet-footed Hounds, which are as follows:-- _Head._--This should be long and narrow, wide between the ears and low between the eyes. The head of a bitch is of finer mould. Lean jaws. _Eyes._--Penetrating and full of animation. _Ears._--Elegantly carried and small. _Neck._--Very important. Must be long, strong, very supple, and, above all, graceful. A high degree of flexibility is indispensable. _Fore-quarters._--Shoulders must not be over-loaded with muscle, but a great degree of obliquity is a _sine qua non_. Arm, long, ending below in a strong elbow joint. _Fore-arm._--Very long, strong, and should consist of little beyond bone, muscles and tendons. It is in this region, particularly, that the Greyhound excels in beauty. Must be as straight as a line from elbow to knee, and, above all, well placed in relation to the parts above and below. The forward position of the fore-limbs are a striking feature of the Greyhound, giving a minimum of weight to carry in front. _Long oblique pasterns_, and compact hard feet are points of great importance. _Hind-quarters._--Strength, width, and a great degree of flexibility are necessary in this region. Weak, or soft muscles destroys a Greyhound's speed, turning and staying power.

The oblique position of the second thighs constitutes the main beauty in this region. Their backward curve joins the hocks in such a manner as to give the greatest possible leverage on the long, strong, pasterns and feet below. The angles of the hocks are very acute, and, in relation to the body, placed very far back. If a Greyhound has not typically formed and well-placed hind-quarters, he will never make his mark as a runner. _Chest._--Most certainly should be deep, but not wide. If a greyhound is not well-hearted he is no good for speed, or endurance.
