Nor is it known what type of quarry it hunted, whether deer, fox, boar, etc. The talbot and the greyhound were, apparently, the only hounds used in English heraldry, and it could be that the talbot originated as an emblematic or heraldic hound. References to this heraldic talbot seem to be earlier than any references to a real dog. The talbot appears in many coats of arms, for instance in later ones of the Earls of Shrewsbury, in which two talbots appear as supporters. The arms of the Carter family of Castle Martin (see Carter-Campbell of Possil) include a talbot. The arms of the Earls Waldegrave have supporters of two talbots. The Talbot hound was also the symbol of Weston Road High School in the county town of Stafford, Staffordshire. The talbot also appears as a supporter in the arms of the Marquess of Sligo.
