Histogram from a single column of a data frame

Column 7 of "oded" is "Breed". If I enter

summary(Breed)

I get the counts of the numbers in each breed.
However, if I enter


I have tried

hist($Breed)

Error: unexpected '$' in "hist($"

hist(Breed)

Error in hist(Breed) : object 'Breed' not found

hist("Breed")

Error in hist.default("Breed") : 'x' must be numeric

FYI

colnames(oded)

[1] "Subject.Name"       "Date"               "Species"
"Age"                "Sex"
[6] "Spayed....Neutered" "Breed"              "Breed.Code"

How do I get a histogram of the counts in column 7?

Are you for real, or is this some kind of joke?

Assuming it's not a joke:

(1) Look at ?"$".

(2) WTF do you expect hist($Breed) to do?  Where is "Breed" going to be 
found, for pity's sake?  You appear to have no understanding of how R 
(or any programming language) works.

Read the Introduction to R manual and *get* some understanding if you 
are going to use R.

(3) The correct usage obviously (and I mean ***really***; it *IS* 
obvious) is hist(oded$Breed) --- which tells hist() where to find "Breed".

(4) You could also use

	with(oded,hist(Breed))

which is a useful syntax in some circumstances.
