[68] 'The Dog,' 1845, p. 186. With respect to diseases, Youatt asserts (p.
167) that the Italian greyhound is "strongly subject" to polypi in the
matrix or vagina. The spaniel and pug (p. 182) are most liable to
bronchocele. The liability to distemper (p. 232) is extremely different in
different breeds. On the distemper, _see_ also Col. Hutchinson on 'Dog
Breaking,' 1850, p. 279.
