Dogs and All about Them

But,
apart
from
the
question
of
their
origin,
the
different
varieties
have
many
other
attributes
in
common;
all
perform
the
same
kind
of
work,
and
in
the
same
manner;
consequently
the
system
of
breaking
or
training
them
varies
only
according
to
the
temper
or
ideas
of
those
who
undertake
their
schooling.
Few
dogs
are
more
admired
than
English
Setters,
and
those
who
are
looked
upon
as
professional
exhibitors
have
not
been
slow
to
recognise
the
fact
that
when
a
really
good
young
dog
makes
its
appearance
it
is
a
formidable
rival
amongst
all
other
breeds
when
the
special
prizes
come
to
be
allotted.
Seen
either
at
its
legitimate
work
as
a
gun
dog
or
as
a
domestic
companion,
the
English
Setter
is
one
of
the
most
graceful
and
beautiful
of
the
canine
race,
and
its
elegant
form
and
feathery
coat
command
instant
admiration.
Twenty
years
ago
it
was
known
by
several
distinct
names,
among
the
more
important
being
the
Blue
Beltons
and
Laveracks,
and
this
regardless
of
any
consideration
as
to
whether
or
not
the
dogs
were
in
any
way
connected
by
relationship
to
the
stock
which
had
earned
fame
for
either
of
these
time-honoured
names.
It
was
the
great
increase
in
the
number
of
shows
and
some
confusion
on
the
part
of
exhibitors
that
made
it
necessary
for
the
Kennel
Club
to
classify
under
one
heading
these
and
others
which
had
attained
some
amount
of
notability
and
the
old
terms
have
gradually
been
dropped.
Doubtless
the
English
Setter
Club
has
done
much
since
its
institution
in
1890
to
encourage
this
breed
of
dog,
and
has
proved
the
usefulness
of
the
club
by
providing
two
very
valuable
trophies,
the
Exhibitors'
Challenge
Cup
and
the
Field
Trial
Challenge
Cup,
for
competition
amongst
its
members,
besides
having
liberally
supported
all
the
leading
shows;
hence
it
has
rightly
come
to
be
regarded
as
the
only
authority
from
which
an
acceptable
and
official
dictum
for
the
guidance
of
others
can
emanate.
