Myremarks on cross-bred dogs, as well as pure breeds, are fromlong experience in shooting over them. Cross-breds are notnearly so devoted to their masters, they vary every day in theirwork, and are by no means so reliable as well-bred dogs. THE IDEAL DOG In a wildfowl dog we require a strong, brave animal. Toofine breeding with regard to selective appearance should beavoided. By this I mean—breed from only the strongest andbest of your lot. Fine breeding, however, need not be fearedif animals are chosen which have proved themselves good attheir work. I have always had an inclination towards well-bred animals. I am sorry to state that my preference is notshared by all wildfowlers or gunners generally, though I believethe sooner it is the better will be the sporting results. I con-tent myself by thinking that enough scope remains, no matterhow small it may at first appear, for we cannot remain stationarywith any living form, to improve our present breeds withoutseeking to make others.
