SHOOTING DOGS WANTED 
I have owned and developed the greatest Field Trial 
Dogs that this world has ever seen and I am gatisfied to 
rest on my laurels and in the future devote my energies 
exclusively to training shooting dogs. My training preserves 
comprise 20,000 acres with abundance of game. Kennels 
built after a lifetime experience. My assistants, the best 
men I could find in Scotland, and the dogs I break remain 
broken. I have more unbroken records than any trainer 
living or any trainer who ever did live. If you want your 
shooting dogs properly developed, send them to me.

Bobbie, a Homing Collie 
By Hiking 2000 Miles Across the Continent to His 
Home in Oregon, He Proved That He Can’t Be Lost 
By BRYAN 
F all dogs were like “Bobbie,” pet 
| of G. F. Brazier, café proprietor 
in Silverton, Ore., there would be 
no lost-dog items in the classified adver- 
tising columns of the newspapers. 
For “Bobbie” proved recently that he 
can’t be lost. Hiking 2,000 miles across 
the continent to his home on the Pacific 
coast, “Bobbie” accomplished a_ feat 
seldom if ever equaled in all dogdom, 
and now the Oregon Humane Society 
is going to present him with a silver 
medal. 
“Bobbie” was separated from his 
owner one day last summer while the 
Brazier family, east on a visit, were 
motoring through Wolcottville, Ind. 
Failing to find him in the Hoosier town, 
after they noticed his disappearance, 
the Braziers went home without him. 
Then, much to their surprise, one day, 
a few weeks ago, “Bobbie” came bound- 
ing into the Brazier café at Silverton. 
His toe nails were worn to the quick, 
and his feet bore the evidence of his 
long tramp across the country. 
OR those who may be inclined to as- 
sume the role of a doubting Thomas, 
here is Mr. Brazier’s own story of 
“Bobbie’s” transcontinental hike. 
“Mrs. Brazier, ‘Bobbie’ and I left 
Silverton for the east, August 6, in our 
automobile, reaching Wolcottville Aug- 
gust 15,” says Mr. Brazier. ‘“Wolcott- 
ville was our first stop in Indiana. We 
had some friends there. I took Mrs. 
Brazier to their home. Then, as the 
carburetor needed a little adjustment, 
I thought I would go up town and have 
it fixed that evening, as Mrs. Brazier 
was anxious to get over to Bluffton,

live. 
“As I drove to the garage, ‘Bobbie’ 
jumped off the car, as was his custom 
whenever he thought we were going to 
stop,and I did not give another thought 
until I heard a number of dogs growl- 
ing and barking. I went to the door 
of the garage, just in time to see ‘Bob- 
bie’ going around the corner with three 
or four dogs after him. He had always 
been able to take care of himself, and 
thinking that he would do the same as 
he had always done, I went back into 
the garage to see about the car. 
“AFTER an hour or so had passed 
and ‘Bobbie’ had not returned, I 
got in the car and started to look for 
him. He had learned the sound of the 
horn on our car, and all I ever needed 
to do, when I wanted him, was to sound 
the horn and he would come jumping. 
But he failed to answer the horn. We 
drove around town and out into the 
country, the way we had come in, but 
we found no trace of ‘Bobbie.’ It was 
after midnight when we gave up the 
search. Early the next morning I got 
busy on the telephone, calling every- 
body in and around Wolcottville, but 
no one had seen or heard of our ‘Bob- 
bie.’ 
“As the weekly paper went to press 
that day, I got hold of the editor (a 
mighty fine fellow and a lover of dogs) 
and he made room for an ad and ran 
it as long as we were in that part of 
the country, but to no avail. 
“We visited in and around Indiana 
for three weeks, and then over in Ohio. 
Then we went back to Wolcottville, re-
