American Llewellins 83 



much younger dog with better field trial opportu- 

 nities. McKinley is a real dog, too, and is entitled 

 to all respect. He continues the blood of two great 

 Llevvellin winners, Count Gladstone IV and Lil- 

 lian Russell, but is what the faddists call " cold " 

 on his dam's side. He is a well bred English 

 setter, but not a "pure" Llewellin — the worse 

 for the "pures." 



He resembles Rodfield closely in style, size, 

 form, and marking. One would say that, with 

 his bench form and blood lines, he is due to be 

 a great setter sire. It is an additional pleasure to 

 the sportsman to see that Mr. Duryea's Mohawk, 

 after his special style another true bird dog 

 whose reputation is no accident, subdued his 

 brilliancy of wide ranging long enough to win 

 the championship on chicken — that of the Mani- 

 toba Club. Mohawk has also beaten the first- 

 raters in some of the autumn quail trials, and has, 

 in 1903, the admitted best among field trial 

 setters' records as to class. All three of these 

 Llewellins are fit to prolong the race of English 

 setters.
