Ajax (dog)

Ajax is a short-haired pointer descended from Pollux, one of Lord Saltash's retired gun-dogs.
He is named for one of the Heroes of the Trojan War in Classical mythology.
He was sent out to Spain at the request of Captain John Vickery, arriving in the summer of 1809 with a draft of soldiers for the Coldstream Guards. He is still young, just out of puppyhood, but has the makings of a good gun-dog.Category:Animals
