GUN DOGS THEIR TRAINING. EXTRACT CHAPTER ONE: THE BEST DOG FOR THE
ONE-DOG. It is the most modest shooting man, who has to consider
the question of expense, is often puzzled to know which suitable
dog for his purpose. We have, therefore, invited several
authorities to give their opinions on the subject. That these
opinions should differ is inevitable. Ye can but publish them as
received, and leave it to the one dog man to form his conclusions
as to which is most likely to meet his circumstances. There is no
question perhaps more frequently asked of the man known as
knowledgeable in the matter of sporting dogs than that the beginner
at shooting, who proposes to keep but one gun-dog, invariably puts
'What is the best kind of sporting dog for me to get?' By this he
means to ask advice on his choice between a pointer, one or the
various breeds of setter, or the equally various breeds of
retriever, and the still more numerous sorts of spaniel now
evcrywhere so popular among shooting men. To answer his question
satisfactorily it is necessary to know something of the sort of
shooting for which he goes in whether he is a member of a
syndicate, each of whom is supposed to provide his own dog, for
instance or whether he has a small shoot of his own to which he
likes occasionally to invite his fricnds preferably wilhout their
dogs. In each case the character of the shoot, the nature of the
game with which it is stocked, its area, and the size of the bag
expected, must all be considered. For what is called a rough shoot
and there is no more sportsmanlike and enjoyable form of shooting
than rough shooting a very different kind of dog is required from
that necessary on a big shoot where partridgesare driven and
pheasants hand-reared. On such there will be a keeper, and the dogs
employed will probably be in his hands and worked by him, or by an
assistant, neither of whom will welcome very graciously the dog of
the one-dog man in the syndicate which employs them...
