his own. Get your friends to treat him harshly, 

 drive him away with sticks and stones and tread 

 on his paws when he comes up to them. He will 

 soon get the idea that you are his only real friend 

 and home the safest place. Don't whip him or 

 scold him when he comes home, as he will not get 

 your idea at all nor realise what he is being pun- 

 ished for. He will only come to avoid and dis- 

 like his home and you. As to fighting, all terriers 

 love to scrap. You will have to head him off and 

 show him that fighting other dogs displeases you. 

 Try also stinging him with an air gun when he 

 tries to leave the place. 



THE AIREDALE AS A HOUSE DOG 



I would like to get information about Oorang 



Airedale terriers, as to their dispositions, conduct 



and actions about the house. 



Gus Atwateb. 



Ans. — The Airedale makes an ideal house dog, 

 has a nice disposition, is watchful and courageous 

 and could be easily house-broken. The Oorang 

 Kennels, of La Rue, Ohio, originated the Oorang 

 strain Airedales, which do not differ materially 

 from any other strain of the high-class breed. 

 They have, however, produced a number of win- 

 ning dogs for bench shows and the hunting field.
