[Illustration] [Illustration] SECTION G CHAPTER XIV =Afghan Greyhound= LURCHER CHAPTER XIV =The Afghan Greyhound= Through the kindness of Cary Barnard, Esq., of Hailsham, I am able to give an illustration of this variety of dog so scarce in this country, the specimen depicted being typical of the breed. These Hounds are said to be somewhat difficult to obtain, the owners are unwilling to part with them, being kept by a class who consider it a distinction to own them. In the Natural History Museum at South Kensington there is a stuffed specimen, practically identical with the one herein portrayed. Built on racing lines, in almost every particular, these dogs look exceedingly quaint, chiefly because of the feather, or long hairs, upon the ears, throat, backs of the limbs, feet, and tail.
