DOG TRAINING 161 



taking my health and strength, and am planning 

 a trip into the npper peninsula of this State to 

 regain my health and make a living from the fur 

 bearers of that section for myself and wife. If 

 you could give me this information as to dogs and 

 where they can be secured, or a better place to go 

 for fur, I would appreciate it more than you can 

 imagine. Thanking you for advance kindness, I 

 remain yours truly, wishing you success in your 

 fascinating business.

Ans. — ^We would advise a coonhound of the 

 Redbone or Walker strain as the best dog for your 

 purpose. You can buy them already broken on 

 fur, which would be your best procedure, as you 

 are in no position to train him properly. 



CURE FOR GUN-SHY PUP 



How would you go about breaking a gun-shy 

 pup? The pup is not much afraid of a gun, but 

 still after you fire it once on a trip out he keeps 

 his eye on you afterwards. He doesn't run home, 

 but slinks back. 



If you will be kind enough to give me what in- 

 formation you can I am sure it will be greatly 



appreciated by me.
