NEW BIRD DOG NEEDED I 
SPORTSMEN SHOULD DEVELOP A SETTER PAR- | 
TICULARLY ADAPTED TO NORTHERN COVERS ^ 
By C. B. WHITFORD ' 
7===; RESUMABLY for a 
period of about fifty 
years the best mental 
and physical energy of 
the American sports- 
men and breeders have 
been exerted to the 
end of creating a 
breed of bird dogs to 
satisfy the require- 
ments of sportsmen 
who shoot quail south 
of the cotton belt, or 
jack snipe on our marshes of the North. 
Such a dog we have succeeded in 
breeding, and the group is large enough 
and of such pedigree that the dogs are 
easily capable of classification as a breed. 
They are of similar physical and psychi- 
cal type, and transmit their breed quali- 
ties with a marked degree of certainty. 
To be sure, it is a debatable matter 
whether the modern breeder has not 
exceeded the ideal set up at an earlier 
period. However that may be, we have 
the old ideal in an intense form, and 
according to judgment expressed in pub- 
lic competition, the ideal setter of to-day 
is satisfactory to the sportsmen w’ho use 
him in the particular territory for which 
he has been bred. 
This dog, however, this creation of the 
past half-century, is fit only for a par- 
ticular country and unfit as a shooting 
dog for that vast country which lies be- 
yond the boundaries where his special 
usefulness may be made manifest. 
While that class of sportsmen who 
shoot in the sedge fields of 
the South have been develop- 
ing the setter of today, the 
larger body of sportsmen 
who shoot in the close, rough 
country of New England, 
Nev/ York, Pennsylvania, 
parts of Ohio, Michigan and 
Canada, have made no move 
to create such a setter as 
they need. 
This is not so much to be 
wondered at when we reflect 
that the field-trial dog of the 
South has been the only ideal 
field-trial dog w'e have ever 
known. The breeders of 
field setters have studied the 
field-trial reports. The ken- 
nel press has promoted the 
field-trial idea, and field-trial 
records and performance 
pedigree have stood and still 
stand as the authentic ex- 
pression of field dog worth. 
These evidences, however, do 
not establish the fact that 
this field-trial ideal is of uni- 
versal excellence. This is 
not the all-American setter; 
it is the ideal setter of the 
Southern sedge fields; a dog 
almost worthless as a bird 
dog in any of the sections of the country 
already mentioned. 
O NE reason, and the chief reason, 
why we have no setter breed to fill 
the requirements of New England and 
similar bird-dog country is that no one 
has thought it worth while to attempt the 
establishment of a true breed for the re- 
quired purpose. The need for such a ^ 
setter has been felt, and in a haphazard 
manner some effort has been made to 
promote the desired type. But these 
efforts have been individual and lacking 
in a uniformity of purpose. There has 
been no one to set up and promote a 
logical standard for such a setter, nor 
have there been any community trials 
that might be calculated to mark indi- 
vidual specimens as being specially fitted 
for the work required of them. 
For the most part we have gone on 
breeding our coA’er setters from a bench- 
show pedigree, and dogs that strained , 
liberally to the field-trial type of the 
South. We have had no intelligent proc- 
ess of creating an ideal from the required 
performance and breeding a type from 
an ideal. ' 
And so we have an ideal field setter 
useful in one part of the country but 
useless in another part. i 
Our need for the other ideal is ap- 
parent. The means of creating a type to j| 
conform to that ideal is merely a problem | 
in heredity and a question of intelligent | 
community activity. i
