PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS. QUALIFICATIONS, IN BREAKER—IN DOG.
[1]. Dog-Breaking an Art easily acquired. [2]. Most expeditious mode of imparting every Degree of Education. Time bestowed determines Grade of Education. In note, Col. Hawker's opinion. [3]. Sportsmen recommended to break in their own Dogs. [4]. Men of property too easily satisfied with badly-broken Dogs. Keepers have no excuse for Dogs being badly broken. [5]. Great Experience in Dog-breaking, or Excellence in Shooting, not necessary. Dispositions of Dogs vary. [6]. What is required in an instructor. [7]. Early in a Season, any Dog will answer, a good one necessary afterwards. Hallooing, rating Dogs, and loud whistling spoils Sport. [8]. What a well-broken Dog ought to do. [9]. Severity reprobated. [10]. Astley's Method of teaching his Horses. [11]. Initiatory Lessons recommended—to be given when alone with Dog—given fasting. [12]. Success promised if rules be followed. Advantages of an expeditious Education. Autumn shooting not sacrificed.
