19. Canine Charges: Another talbot


We conclude this walk with our dogs as we look at a coat with an interesting Chief - the Chief of Religion, the bearer being a Bailiff of the Order of Malta, beneath which sits a suitably fierce talbot.

Charge   Or, a talbot sejant Sable in chief three fountains Proper, a chief (the Chief of Religion) charged with the Arms of the British Association of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta

It remains for me to thank Unicorn Pursuivant for inviting me to take these various dogs for a walk and for allowing me, however briefly, to join the ranks of the bloggerati. The unicorn, like the talbot, holds an honourable position in the science and the art of heraldry. Ian Shepherd.

Many thanks to Ian for nosing out (geddit?) these fine hounds. There are plenty of other themes other members might like to explore next.
