He did not get out of the kennel yard, sometimes he slept in the arms of the dogs in the camp wagons. Leaving a cozy estate in the Arzamas district of the Nizhny Novgorod province, for months I traveled around the Russian territories in order to look at some famous dog Striking or Kostroma vyzhlovka Vopishka. The notes of Baron Grigory Dmitrievich Rosen began to appear first in the magazine ”Nature and Hunting”, and in 1888 there was also a large essay ”Dog Hunting”. The introduction to this edition was published in The Russian Hunter, an essay on the history of the greyhound. The History of Hounds is Rosen's most comprehensive and recent publication. These were the first specialized publications in Russia about greyhounds and hounds. In the book, he analyzes the influence of climate, terrain, and food on the formation of hounds. The way in which the hunt was conducted had an impact not only on the external forms, but also on the character and moral aspects of the dogs. The features of the terrain of the area where the hunt is conducted, over time, even change the ability to see in animals. Rosen attributes the oldest references to hounds to images found on ancient Egyptian architectural monuments, and notes the mention of greyhounds in the Iliad and Odyssey, separately highlighting the essay on hunting by Xenophon. There are also descriptions of different breeds of Russian hounds in the book. The review of Russian hounds of the late XIX century ends with recommendations on the choice of puppies and their care, especially the arrival, tips on training friendly hounds.]
