Pertinent Suggestions on Subject Often misunderstood by Sportsmen MANY sportsmen labor under the delusion that after a dog has been properly trained or "broken," the question of his hunting is settled, little realizing the im portance of "handling," which is in reality,fully as important as training, for only through proper handling can a dog be kept in training for any length of time. As a result, unsatisfactory field work has caused many sportsmen who have purchased high-priced, thoroughly bro ken dogs to believe that the dogs were never properly trained and that they had been swindled. The chances are, how ever, that the trouble was due to lack of knowledge on the part of the handler, a combination of circumstances or unfa miliarity of the dog with his new master. the game, because she is nervous and over-anxious. In the first case the dog does wrong knowingly, and must be mastered ; in the second, the trouble is due to over-excitement, and the remem brance of the last whipping is necessary to keep the dog from forgetting. When you whip a dog, whip him hard, taking him by the collar or tying him to a tree and "going at him ;" not losing your temper and fighting him, buc punishing him as a just master. Don't kick and cuff a dog for every little thing. A good brushing administered when necessary will do good ; but continual cuffing and kicking will make a sneaking coward of any dog. Again, with other dogs a scolding or word of caution is all that is needed and anything more will do harm. But while dogs vary in disposition, some being demonstrative and some otherwise, every dog, like every man, likes to be noticed and spoken to. Secondly, let your dog do the hunting. 1 0 If' u J L X JiUCJilumm- m- - - - - "ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT A DOG ON A POINT IS IN A VERY NERVOUS STATE' No test is quite so severe as Southern quail shooting gives, and none the cause of more dissatisfaction. First of all, before any dog can be handled properly, it is absolutely im perative that his friendship be gained and his temperament carefully studied, for no two dogs can be handled exact'y alike. I have an old dog which knows more about quail than I ever hope to and which, as a rule, requires no handling, but once in about so often, he will break at shot or wing and chase like a puppy. A gentle rap or rebuke has no effect and five minutes of beating is necessary. I have tried everything with him only to arrive at the conclusion that, at stated intervals, it is necessary to whip him hard. Now this dog is phlegmatic, with apparently no nerves, and I believe he does it out of pure deviltry. Another dog I have requires the same treatment, because she breaks at shot or does some other "fool" thing in the excitement of If he is any good he knows more about birds than you do, and if he doesn't he will never learn if you keep him running from one spot to another and absolutely under control at all times. If I could, I should let every puppy, up to the time he is a year old, run loose where there are plenty of birds and hunt them at will, in this way acquiring "bird sense" before breaking. Thirdly, never forget the dog in your excitement and anxiety to get a large bag. Several years ago I had a dog that the trainer had broken for me, having devoted a great deal of time to him, and he was the most per fectly broken dog I have ever hunted over. But after a while lie began break ing at shot, and later at wing. I called the matter to the trainer's attention. He suggested that I go out with him, while I handled the dog and he kept in the background. Out of the first covey I shot a bird which went down behind a thick bunch of tree,and in my anxiety
