32 The Sporting Dog 



was a large and handsome liver-and-white bitch. 

 Bred to Jingo when very young, she produced 

 in two litters Lad of Jingo, Dot's Jingo, Drill- 

 master, Dot's Daisy, Two Spot, and Jingo's Pearl. 

 These dogs were all winners and are rapidly be- 

 coming producers; the misfortune being that 

 some of the best died early. 



Jingo was by Mainspring out of Queen II. 

 He was developed by Captain McMurdo, but 

 did his later running in the hands of Mr. Nesbitt, 

 still to-day a prominent handler. Nearly all 

 pointer men and a great many setter owners 

 claim that Jingo had bird sense to a degree 

 beyond that displayed by any other field dog. 

 He ran successfully in important trials in dif- 

 ferent parts of the country. He has produced an 

 astonishing number of winners in the first and 

 second generation, including Young Jingo from 

 Pearl's Dot, the great orange-and-white dog King 

 Cyrano, Gorham's Jing, Jingo's Light, and any 

 number of others. Doc's Light, the three times 

 Derby winner in 1 900-1 901, is a grandson; as 

 is Percival Jingo, another lemon-and-white, the 

 Interstate Championship winner of 1902. An- 

 other grandson is Alpine Lad, a successful dog 

 in both his Derby and all-age form. 



In connection with the light-weight dogs which 

 modified the pointer, Duke of Hessen is of 

 enough importance to be specially mentioned.
