NATURAL HISTORY OF THE DOG. 63 casionally fulvous or yellow, is more frequently a bluish, slaty white, marked with spots, or rather blotches, of brown and black. The ears of the Dane are short, and droop, but very slightly. I never yet saw an imported specimen that had not the ears cropped off* close to the skull. In its native country the Dane is employed chiefly in boar-hunting ; it was also formerly used in the chase of the elk. It is not im- probable that the Danes brought this dog with the...m to Ireland when they invaded that country, and that it was employed as an auxiliary in wolf-hunting. Once the matter came to a regular grapple, few dogs could have proved more servicea- ble ; and few could have afforded a better cross with our own ancient wolf-dog. That such crossing did actually take place, is more than probable ; and hence the many miscon- ceptions that have since arisen relative to the real characters of our genuine Irish wolf-dog. Hamilton Rowan had some very fair specimens ; so had Lord Altamont also Lord O'Neil ; but by far the finest I ever had the good fortune to see, was " Hector, " the property of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, still living, about ten years ago, at Dalkeith palace.
