No Pedigrees But They Love Hunting

of raising enough birds graduates
from Nm and Pop Pheasant to the
game farm incubator, the open
seasons become shorter and the
welfare of the wild birds becomes
a major concern to the state game
departments. All precautions are
taken that the birds be allowed to
thrive and increase.
Washington, for instance, has a
regulation that all bird dogs be
kept confined during the nesting
season. Did you ever try to con-
fine a high spirited hunting dog?
Could this force a trend toward
an call purpose" dog? A placid
creature much slower than the high
strung, high geared field trial ca
nine? A home dog with hunting
ability? Many individual dogs in
the hunting breeds have the prop
er temperament for such a life,
especially among the cookers, gor-
don settlers and the retrievers.
Probably not. The sportsman is a
stubborn critter. Joe Doe, who
owns that statuesque llewellyn, will
keep right on insisting you can't
make a silk purse of a soW's ear

will keep right on pursuing and
