Hound (heraldry)
text:
The hound is a charge in classical heraldry.
In English heraldry, the commonly used variant are the talbot, also blazoned as sleuth-hound, e.g. in the arms of Wolseley of Staffordshire, the greyhound and bloodhound.
Rarely seen variants are the ratch-hound, the mastiff, the foxhound, the spaniel and the terrier.
The "sea-dog" is a curious charge resembling the talbot but with scales, webbed feet and a broad tail, used in the arms of Stourton barony, presumably originally depicting a beaver.
