But the list was too long and while I 
decried his assertions I thanked him for 
introducing me to a new form of the 
grand old sport and even wished that he 
might some day have the luck that was 
mine on a misty Wisconsin lake when I 
caught a great northern loon on my bass 
tackle.

SOME MORE GOSSIP 
To the Editor of Forest and Stream: 
1 READ “Some Gossip on Our Hunt- 
ing Dogs” in your February number. 
I wonder how much the writer really 
Jknows about his subject. It reminds me 
of the Beauty Doctor’s Column written 
as a filler and for coin. If you expect 
men “who know” to read your stuff, let 
it be above amateurishness. It will then 
do the amateur some good and not fill 
(pirn full of bunk which he spills on his 
knowing friends to their disgust. 
As regards the Babblebrooks, if Joe 
was the head of this strain and his off- 
spring are not pure bred Llewellyns, they 
may only be registered as English set- 
ters. Babblebrook Joe was not 100% 
Llewellyn, neither is Master Ben. 
He speaks of LaBeseta being of bench 
show type. Nonsense. He never saw her 
or if he did he doesn’t know bench quali- 
ties. I know her well. She is small and 
snippy with sharpened nose, fine boned, 
and shapeless for a setter. Look up 
some of her pictures. 
Fishel’s Frank he states is withdrawn 
from the stud. Mr. Fishel sold him into 
Tennessee where he stood until his death. 
Tell your contributor to read up on dogs.

To the Editor of Forest and Stream : 
R EGARDING the dog man’s letter, 
which I have just read: This is the 
usual sarcasm that you get from know-it- 
all professionals. Taking up his specific 
points: Babblebrook Joe is son of Mo- 
hawk II, a Llewellin setter. Master Ben 
is a Gleam dog; both have Laverack blood 
in them, buj; so have any number of fa- 
mous Llewellins. I refuse to take part 
in the endless controversy of what is and 
what is not a Llewellin setter, for custom 
has long ago caused us to class as Llewel- 
lins all dogs predominately of that gen- 
eral family, leaving the purists to fight 
out the 100% thing, if there is such a 
dog. Very few of the present day Llewel- 
lin setters can be called 100%. Regard- 
ing La Besita, I have her photo in front 
of me as I write. She was described by 
Hockwalt in an article in Field & Stream 
in my time as a high class dog that has 
made good in both bench and field. She 
certainly has as good points as any that 
you see in the bench shows. Your grouchy 
correspondent evidently has some grudge 
against her owner and I would further 
suggest that he write the owners of the 
Babblebrooks his views on them, for their 
advertising does not bear him out. In 
neither case do his criticisms have any 
bearing on what I said about the dogs in 
my article. As to Fishel’s Frank, I knew 
that he had been retired from the stud 
by Mr. Fishel and said so. He was much 
too old for any honest breeder to use.
