Origin.—On account of it being little else than a small English greyhound, its origin is traced to that breed, by which standard it is judged.
Uses.—Occasionally for coursing rabbits, but chiefly for trials of speed of about 200 yards. The dogs are run in couples, the waving of a handkerchief or other cloth being the incentive to run.
Height.—At shoulders about 18 inches.
