148 THE AMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



chase when a puppy, but will get over it in his 

 second year. 



FLUSHING IRISH SETTER 



I have an Irish setter three years old, beautiful 

 hunter, but fails to stop on the birds ; has a ten 

 dency to flush the birds and then trail them like 

 a rabbit hound. In all other ways dog acts beau 

 tifully. Can you advise me what to do in the 

 matter! 



R. RUSSELL. ROBINSON. 



Ans. The best cure for your dog would be to 

 buy a force collar and check cord and then train 

 her not to flush according to directions given in 

 elements of dog training. 



BREAKING A FLUSHER 



I have a Llewellin setter dog, five years old, 

 which I just bought from a man in whom I have 

 great confidence. 



I had never seen the dog till he arrived (No 

 vember 1st), and the next Saturday and Sunday 

 I took him out to give him a trial. At first he 

 chased a few rabbits, but I soon broke him of that. 

 Then he flushed three birds. Finally he got the 

 scent of the place from which the last bird got 

 up and stood it nicely.
