This famous hound was a son of Belvoir Guider from Magic, which bitch was a daughter of Singwell, one of the white litter by merriman, the crack Furrier dog. Lord Southampton and his huntsman were so fond of the "Furriers" that the kennel became very well stocked with the breed, of which the most perfect hound was this Marquis.

Marquis was fawn and white in colour, faultless in shape, and perfect in work, but of a very morose nature-surly and disagreeable in the kennel, and never forgave anyone a real or fancied injury.
