MORE ABOUT GUN-SHYNESS 47 
and I am publishing my reply verbatim be¬ 
cause the gun-shyness phase of it may prove 
of value: 
December 14, 1923. 
Mr. J. Horace Lytle, 
Mutual Home Building, 
Dayton, Ohio. 
Dear Sir: 
Possibly you will not remember me but maybe 
you will my bitch, Belle, that you trained for me last 
spring. 
She was struck by an auto a few days before 
chicken could be hunted so could not use her; but 
used her on partridge and found that since her acci¬ 
dent she is gun-shy. Can a dog be broken of be¬ 
ing gun-shy? If you think they can, will appre¬ 
ciate any suggestions you might offer as to how to 
proceed to correct this fault. 
At the time I wrote you last summer I had about 
decided to give her up but after reading your book 
I gave her another chance and she was doing fine 
until she was injured. 
I have become very much attached to her and 
want to keep her for my shooting dog if possible. 
Yours very truly, 
Geo. N. Breunig.
