GAST-HOUND

A New and Complete Dictionary of Arts and Sciences · 1764 · p. 9
one that makes more ufe of his fight than of his nofe. Such dogs are much ufed in the north of England: they are fitter in an open champ a in country, than in bufhy and woody places. If at any time a well taught gaze-hound takes a wrong way, he will return upon a fignal and begin the chafe afrefh. He is alfo excellent at fpying out the fattelt of a herd, and having feparated it from the reft, will never give over the purfuit till he has worried it to death. [s. 665]
