I completely agree with Ari and yourself. To afficianados there is a BIG difference between a hound and a terrier BUT for the crossword setter (and major dictionary compilers) they're both dogs. BUT strictly speaking hound does not equal terrier, so I may have been a bit naughty today. Artistic licence? (or, dog licence ... heh, heh!)

Right now, I feel a bit like I'M going to the dogs, so will soon be heading for my virtuous couch.

Thanks for the wee chat Chris. Happy crosswording for the coming week.

Thanks again and goodnight, jolan.

I was just pulling your chain, Jolan. In German Hund means any old dog, and English is a Germanic language after all. Still, the idea of calling those yappy little things hounds does seem a bit silly. Hounds are far more dignified, and they stink.
