Of gentle Dogges seruing the hanke, and first

SVch Dogges as ferue for fowling, I thiiike conueni- 

 ent and requisite to place'iu this seconde Section of 

 this treatise. Theseare also to bee reckoned and accounted 

 in the number of the dogges which come of a gentle 

 kind, and of those which serue for fowling.

 take, for the which consideration.

-I Tiie Phesant " !■ 

 ( The Partridge 



The common sort of people call them by one general! 

 word, namely Spaniells. As though these kinde of 

 Dogges come originally aud lirst of all out of Spaine, The 

 most part of their skynueH are white, and if they bo 

 marcked «'ith anj' spottes. they are commonly red, and 

 somewhat great therewithal!, the heares not growing in 

 siicli thioknesse but that tlie mixture of them maye eas- 

 ely be perceaued. Other.some of them be reddisheand 

 blackishe, but of thai sorte tliei'e be but a veiy few 

 Tliere is also at this day aioong vs a jiewe kinde of dogge 

 brought out of Frauuce (for we Englislie men a^'e mat 

 uailous greedy gaping gluttons aftet- nouelties. and cou 

 etous coniorauntes of things that be seldom, rare 

 .straunge, and hard to get.) And they bee speckled all 

 ouer with white and black, which mingled colours in 

 cline to a marble blewe, which bewtifyeth thek skinnes 

 and afEordeth a seemely show of comlynesse, Tliese are 

 called French dogges as is aboue declared already. 



The Dogge called tlie Setter, in La- 

 tine indeiv. 

 ANother sort of Dogges be there, scnticeable for fow 1 

 ing, making no noise either with foote or with 

 lounge, whiles they foUowe the game. These attend 

 diligently vpon theyr Master and frame their condition-, 

 to such beokes, motions, and gestures, as it shall please 

 him to exliibite and make, either going forward, drawing 

 backeward, inclining to the right hand, or yealding to 

 ward the left, (In making mencion of fowles my mear- 

 ing is of the Partridge and tlie tiUuiile) when he hatli 

 'founde the byrde, he keepeth sure and fa.st silence, he 

 ■stayeth his steppes and wU proceede iiii further, and with 

 a close, couert, w^atching eye. layetli liis lielly to t)i 

 grounde and so creepeth forward like a worme. When 

 he approacheth neeie to the place where the birde is, in 

 layes him downe, and with a marcke of liis pawe.s. be 

 trayeth the phwe of the byrdes last abode, whereby it is 

 supposed that this kinde of dogge is called Index, iiettei 

 being in deede a name most consonant and agreeable to 

 liis quality. Tiie place being knowne by the'meanes id 

 tlie dogge, the fowler inimediatly opeiietli and spreedeth 

 his net, intending to take them, whicli being done the 

 doggo at the accustomed becke or vsuall signe of his Mas 

 ter ryseth vp by and by, and draweth neerer to the fowle 

 that by his presence they might te the authors of then 

 owne insuaring, and be ready entangled in the prepared 

 net, which conning and artificiall indeuour in a dogge 

 (being a creature domesticall or househoulde seruaunt 

 brought vp at home with offalls of the trencher and frag- 

 ments of victuaUs) is not much to be maruailed at, seing 

 that a Hare (being a wilde and skipinshe beast) was seone 

 in England to the astonishment of the beholders, in the 

 yeare of our Lorde God, 1564 not onely daunciugin 

 measm-e, but playing witli his former feete vppon a tab- 

 baret, and obsenaing iu^t number of strokes (as a prac- 

 ticioner in that arte) befides that nipping & pinching a 

 dogge with his teeth and cla wes, & cruehy IhurapLng him 

 with y' force of his feete. This is no trumpery tale, nor 

 triiiing toye (as I imagine) and therefore not rnworthy to 

 to be reported, for I recken it a requitall of my trauaile, 

 not to drowne in the seas of silence any special! tiling

Of the Dogge called the water Spaniell, or finder, 

 in Latine Aquaticus seuivquisitor. 



THat kinde of dogge whose senn'ce is required in fowl- 

 ing vpon the water, partly through a natural] to- 

 wardnesse, and partly by diligent teaching, is indued 

 with that proi>erty. This sort ia somewhat blgge, and 

 of a me.a.surable greatuesse. hauing long, rough, a.nd

 whereupon he is lykcw-ise named a dogge for the ducke! 

 becaase in that qualitie he is excellent. With lliese dogges 

 also we fetche out of the water such fowle as be stoiinge 

 to death by any venemous wcirme, we vse them also to 

 bring V.S our boultes& arrows out of the water (missing

 wise we should hardly recouer, and oftentimes tlie re-

 circumstaunces they are called Inqii.inilores, scaii-Iiprs

 selues voluntarily to the bads, as it were, of such as draw

 winges preteoded, and i iii3rmitie of their feete dissembled, 

 they go so slowely and so leasurely, that to a mans think- 

 ing it were no masteryes to take them. By which de- 

 ceiptful tricke they doe as it were entyse and allure men 

 to follow them, till they bes drawne a long distaunce from 

 theyr neastes, which being compassed by their prouident 

 connmg, or conning providence they cut of all incon- 

 ueniences which might growe of their returne. bv using 

 many carefuU and curious caucates, least thevr often

 hatched. Great therefore is theyr desire. & earnest 

 is theyr study to take heede, not only to theyr broode but 

 also to themselues. For when thev haueanvukhng that 

 they are espied they hide themselves vnder turfes or 

 sedges, wherewith they coner and shrowde themselues 

 so closely and so craftely, that (notwithstanding the 

 place where they lurke be found and perfectly perceaued) 

 there they will harbour without harme, except the water

HOW SOSfB DOGS SCRATCH. 



TIIE replies to our request for the erdightenment of 

 a Wisconsin man, who thought that dogs could 

 not scratch themselves while standing up, barreheen num- 

 erous and entirely satisfactory. So many letters have 

 come to us on tlie subject that we have been compelled 

 to epitomize them in order to find any room for them ait 

 aU. Following is the evidence volunteered on this mo- 

 mentous question : — 

 Editor Forest and Stream:— 



,,. I had a setter, dead, as Horace W a Ipole would say, this 

 last winter, at the possible age^of seventeen or eighteen
