THE AMERICAN BOOK OF THE DOG. 



appear to have in many instances only had in view the production of an animal 

 that can gallop, and thereby cover more ground than other dogs which might 

 be brought against them; and nose has thereby suffered to a great extent. 



With regard to breeding, management, and training, 

 nothing further need be added to those departments of 

 canine lore than can be found elsewhere in this volume, for 

 the observations and instructions given on those points 

 with especial reference to other breeds will apply with 

 equal force to the Pointer. This dog is easily bred true to 

 type, is not difficult to rear and keep in a state of health, 

 and is more easily trained than any other sporting dog; 

 also remembering his lessons the best.
