dog that his master is his real friend only, and no

his entire attention.

If the shooting companion has a dog, -which, if so, 
he certainly takes along on the shoot, it will be 
quite necessary for the two shooters to work the 
same ground at some little distance apart from each 
other, allowing the two dogs to beat the field 
between them independently, as if each shooter 
with his dog were out alone. It will be found 
that some dogs are quite jealous, rushing in to steal 
the other’s points, and by being too eager, flush the 
birds, also probably giving chase, which latter is 
quickly taken up by the other dog, and confusion 
in general follows. When this fault is noticed, the 
check cord must be attached to such dog, and any 
interference in the other’s work promptly repri¬ 
manded. While one dog is in the act of fetching a 
bird the other may crowd in and attempt to take 
the bird away, often culminating in a heated com¬ 
bat, which is to be prevented in similar manner as 
above. If one of the dogs persists in hunting near 
the other shooter, he must be driven off by the lat¬ 
ter in any effectual way, f. e . 9 each dog must hunt 
to his handler only.
