 reputation and stock his kennel with .logs worthy of the time 

 and trouble spent than a small fortune spent in stud fees- to 

 "fashionable" sires for covering second-rate bitches. 



In Uewellvii setters particularly my belief is in the female 

 line, tiacing'from old Phuebe. The best setter I ever owned, 

 or ever saw for that matter, was a bitch out of Doll, out of 

 Dora, out of Pbo-be. and as sin- has left no progeny behind her, 

 I am on the look-out for a nice young bitch of the same blood, 

 a daughter or granddaughter of Dart or Doll Dimple.
