vi PREFACE 



ally. To combine this dog-love with the wonder- 

 fully gifted genius of a fine hunting dog seems the 

 acme of canine destiny. If you are to own a dog, 

 or several of them, why not have one that can 

 share and appreciate your days in the great out- 

 doors ? 



How to choose such a hunting companion intel- 

 ligently and from the selection of dogs that are 

 living to-day; how to raise him from puppyhood 

 to maturity; how to train him for staunch and 

 efficient field service — to tell of these is the pur- 

 pose of this volume.
