196 THE AMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



that if the dog I want was broken he would cost 

 me something like $300, which I don't care to 

 pay. I would prefer breaking the dog myself 

 and then I would know him and he would know 

 me. In this event I would think that it would 

 be a good idea to buy a puppy. I want a pretty 

 dog and one that has plenty of sense and well 

 bred; that is, of good stock, and that will not 

 be too large when grown. I also would like to 

 have a Gordon setter or Llewellin. 



Will you please advise me of some reliable per 

 son that I could get this dog from? 



D. B. GASKILL. 



Ans.-^I would advise writing to either Dr. 

 Charles A. Gail, of Rutland, Yt., who can prob 

 ably put you in touch with some good Irish setter 

 pups, or to the Ulster Kennels, of Eidgeton, Miss., 

 who are advertising puppies. 



Regarding a Llewellin setter, P. I. Appleman, 

 of the Thoroughbred Kennels, of Atlantic, la., 

 can get you some good pups. 



I do not know of anybody at present who is 

 breeding Gordon setters. 



BAD HABITS IN A CROSS-BREED 



(1) My dog has two habits which I would like 

 to cure him of.
