TYPICAL DOGS.— POINTERS. 
A S the owner and breeder of pointers and 
setters for nearly thirty years, with prefer- 
ences vibrating from time to time from the 
one to the other, I have finally, I think, reached 
a settled preference for the pointer. It is a com- 
mon opinion that the setter is the more affec- 
tionate, sagacious, and domestic; but I doubt 
whether this is borne out by experience. 
Among the many dogs I have owned, the 
most remarkable instances of sagacity and 
affection which have come under my observa- 
tion have been in pointers. If space permitted 
I am sure I could interest readers by nar- 
rating the wonderful intelligence of my old 
pointer “ Brack,” who was the best ball player 
in our school, or the life of “ Vic,” who took 
her university course with me, and I doubt if 
any setter that ever lived was their superior.
