the best sportsmen of today do not allow their dogs t re trieve saving that the mouthing of the dead arid and bloody birds affects the fineness fine nebs ot of their noses to bring in birds the sportsman teman has foll following oming at it his heels a cocker coater spaniel cl large poodle or almost any kind ot of dog which is taught to follow follo patiently patient tl lv and lid until game

bring it to his master finhen hen you have hane taught your nog to fetch I 1 lie may be tried with N ith game feline it Is very verb probable that the first birds he be brings mill be badly mouthed that is bitten and mangled to break him of this prepare a ball so wound mound over pins that the slightest pressure will mill cause the points to protrude and prick aej an object pressed against the ball after the dog has pricked his mouth once or twice with nith this ball he bo milr learn to pick it up and carry it in the most os d delicate e I 1 1 c ate manner ile he may then tried be tried gain again i with a bird this time ho he will mill probably bring it to aou ou without so much as rumpling a feather feathe rJ but if notwithstanding his experience with the ball of pins bour dog still mouths the game 3 you ou must skin a bird and arrange the ball and pins in side the skin so as to prick sharply upon a light pressure make a dog fetch the bird skin until he be is corn plemely broken of his bad habit of biting or mouthing game ith fill pointers and setters at cirit you on will mill have haie to give gie your commands by word of mouth but it if you accod pany each command b bv an appropriate gesture the pup will mill soon learn to up der stand and obey the slightest ald ni tion of the hand band or head bead the less noise there Is the greater the chance for game nothing is more un sports manlike than shouting in a loud voice to our dog u while hile in the field after teaching a dog to heel down domn charge and to hie on at command vou ou may ishom him game and teach him to quarter his ground by moving yourself in the chree direction aloa you wish the dog to go the dog will mill not be long in understanding and obeying when 5 your our pointer comps comes to a point teach him to be steady by repeating steady boy steade 1 I thel same came time holding up jour liand land in course of time the words may be omitted the hand band raised as a caution will mill keep heep the dog stead but should laiq break point and flush the game as a 3 young oung dog is more than liable to 3 voil ou may glie give him the whip arid and at th the e same game time use some appropriate m words that the dog will x ill remember the next net time the words nords without the whip mill correct him after jour dog has been taught t to 0 obea bobev it Is well mell to put him in the fiel field with an old well uell trained dog As even sportsman has i peculiar of his own for breaking brcik ing 1 I 1 dog it is scarcely necessary to give more than these few hints only let me caution vou once more against using the whip too often spare the lash ash and keep a good stock of patience on hand otherwise in breaking the dog you ou will mill also break his hii spirit and liae a mean treacherous animal that will slink and cringe at bour our slightest look but seldom obey obe vou when he thinks ne is out of reach of the dreaded whip |
