Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Hunting Dog: Modern Strains of Bird Dogs and Hounds, and Their Field Training
Tms little volume is written to furnish an up to-date book confined exclusively to the breeds of American hunting dogs in use to-day. Without a dog, sports afield nowadays are apt to prove rather barren in results in the game bag. Never before have American Sportsmen relied so much on the dog as a'finder of game. Our coverts, while holding their own and somewhat increasing, are far depleted compared to the abundance that ob tained thirty years ago. It takes the fine, sensi tive gift of a dog's instinct to locate game nowa days. Without him the day is likely to be one of exasperation, due to game flushing without warn ing or good covers hunted without starting any thing. With him a satisfactory day's bag can be had in any part of our country where there is wild land, even quite near the great cities.
