Even more specialized than the following book, this, while as practical, has a more personal note, for the author, an authority on ruffed grouse and woodcock hunting, proves his authority in displaying his knowledge of the qualities demanded in the dogs used in this sport. For those who would own, train and handle their own dogs, this is a guide for the procedures necessary, and recommended for a good performance in upland shooting, and clearly indicates the progress from yard, to summer and fall training, the first hunting season and the first winter, the second summer and second hunting season. Disciplines and demands to be filled, field trials, complete the story.
