44 THE AMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



Babblebrooks, sons of Ch. Mohawk II; Momoney 

 (Prince Algonquin, son of Prime Minister-Una, 

 daughter of Mohawk II) ; Master Ben, son of 

 Marse Ben, a Gleam dog; Sport Hiki, another 

 Gleam dog; Eugene M., national champion; Ch. 

 Candy Kid, second in the All-America in 1916 

 (Vallejo-Bond's Gypsy), a Pacific Coast breeding; 

 Free Lance (Mohawk II-Lady Freakstone) ; Mas- 

 ter Rodfield (Ruby's Dan II-Marie's Sports Top- 

 sey) ; Ch. Benstone (Ch. Ct. Whitestone-Mayme 

 Gilchrist — a daughter of Marse Ben). 



In all this welter of Llewellins we must not for- 

 get the Laveracks, which are the setter fountain 

 head. Alongside the characteristic black ears 

 and partly black head, with white parting line and 

 the prominent forehead stop so characteristic of 

 the field trial setter, we must ever bear in mind 

 that long, lean head, all white with tan spots, tan 

 ears and gentle forehead stop, which speaks the 

 Laverack dog. For, as many of these pedigrees 

 show it is the Laverack cross that saves the 

 Llewellin from inbreeding and invariably pro- 

 duces the great dog of the next generation. Look 

 at the original Gladstone bitches, full of Laverack 

 blood which, bred to Count Noble, produced the 

 heads of our winning setter families in America.
