Author Description

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 1: April 1949 The choice of a puppy should not be as uncertain a risk as many prospective dog owners are led to believe. If a few simple qualifications are kept in mind, and the buyer does not act too hastily, then hischances are more than fair that his begin ning will be highly successful. The first and most important of these qualifications is that of breeding. Go into the field with the parents of the pup and actually see them perform. Carefully study movements, style, nose, and attitude to ward each other, and watch the use they make of reasoning the method of outwit ting the crafty game birds they seek. Con sider their field etiquette, response to com mand, and observe their admiration for the handler. If the sire and dam possess the qualifications you desire, you may rest assured the pups have inherited some natural hunting ability.
