Spaniels 
Information of Value to Owners and Admirers 
of the Breed 
By JOHN 
WING to the fact that sporting 
spaniels, especially Springers, 
are gaining in popularity, as the 
all around hunting dog most suited to 
the United States, especially where the 
owner keeps only one dog, and being 
one of the first to advocate the use of 
the English Springer spaniel, a few 
words on training a spaniel, be he Field, 
Cocker, Sussex, Clumber or Springer, 
may be of benefit to the novice. 
First of all select a puppy with a 
big round head, one with lots of pep 
and dash, the bolder the better. When 
from ten to twelve weeks old, start him 
to retrieve your glove or any soft 
article he likes to play with. Three or 
four times is quite enough to begin 
with, and twice or three times a week. 
At four to five months old, he will be 
out at the walk every day and at this 
age it is well to start with the words 
of command that will be used through- 
out his training. The dog, no doubt, 
will know his name well by this time, 
STEWART 
and answei1 to it, and as some of the 
main points in spaniel training are to 
drop your dog to hand, shot, wing or 
far-away work, it is essential that you 
start dropping him to the command 
“hup,” at the same time raising your 
hand. The easiest way to do this is to 
take your puppy out all alone; after 
letting him have a good run, call him 
to you and make him sit down, giving 
him the command “hup.” Hold him 
there a few minutes. Then back away 
from him with your hand still raised. 
If he follows, repeat the command until 
he does stay alone. Keep on increasing 
the distance daily until you can walk 
backward at least forty or fifty yards. 
Then have him drop while he is run- 
ning around. When this is fully mas- 
tered, you will have your dog well 
under command. 
ETRIEVING on command comes 
next. Drop your dog; throw the 
article used out twenty feet or so, keep-
