The excellent nose which these dogs invariably have 

 makes it quite certain that they will retrieve all birds 

 that come to the ground. Besides this, they are com- 

 monly very careful in the way in which they handle 

 the game, and it is very unusual to find one that will 

 mark the bird with his teeth. This, however, is of 

 course largely a matter of training. They are excel- 

 lent house dogs, and are usually kind to children and 

 friendly with people whom they know, while at the 

 same time they are excellent watch dogs, always to be 

 depended on as guardians of the home.
