196 THE AMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



that if the dog I want was broken he would cost 

 me something like $300, which I don't care to 

 pay. I would prefer breaking the dog myself 

 and then I would know him and he would know 

 me. In this event I would think that it would 

 be a good idea to buy a puppy. I want a pretty 

 dog and one that has plenty of sense and well 

 bred; that is, of good stock, and that will not 

 be too large when grown. I also would like to 

 have a Gordon setter or Llewellin. 



Will you please advise me of some reliable per- 

 son that I could get this dog from? 



D. B. Gaskill. 



Ans.-^I would advise writing to either Dr. 

 Charles A. Gail, of Rutland, Vt., who can prob- 

 ably put you in touch with some good Irish setter 

 pups, or to the Ulster Kennels, of Ridgeton, Miss., 

 who are advertising puppies. 



Regarding a Llewellin setter, P. I. Appleman, 

 of the Thoroughbred Kennels, of Atlantic, la., 

 can get you some good pups. 



I do not know of anybody at present who is 

 breeding Gordon setters. 



BAD HABITS IN" A CROSS-BREED 



(1) My dog has two habits which I would like 

 to cure him of.
