Loy's dogs are my favorites in that period. His lines are clean and the dogs look like you can feel them trembling, waiting for the bird to flush. I had a pointer that would stand on point still as a statute but you could see she was busting with energy, waiting for the action.

Some engravers of this era seem to have dead dogs, hound dogs and flying turnips as their trademarks. Some did very nice scroll on Aubreys and others. But Loy's dogs always make me stop and look at them.
