I02 ON DACHSHUNDS 



The answer came pat ; but it must be admitted 

 that if she had gone away, several coveys 

 might have been flushed. The proper 

 answer is, '* Break them to come to call, 

 whether on a scent or not." I do not do 

 this for a specific reason, which is that my 

 dogs are expected to go with me to certain 

 happy hunting-grounds I wot of, where the 

 roe-deer lie in great woodlands ; and experi- 

 ence has shown me that, in order to get 

 them to draw wide, and hunt till they bring 

 their deer to the gun, they must be trained 

 as hounds, that is, entered to game, but not 

 broken. 



As to my third head, I have, I fear, 

 encroached on it already in the last one. 

 Suffice it to say, that in England I have 

 shot over dachshunds all our native game 

 except grouse ; and abroad, chamois, roe.
