Sporting Dogs: Their Points and Management in Health and Disease

Dogs
The Secretary will place members requiring situations in communication
with applicants for Gamekeepers as fast as inquiries fall in, but in
each case the two parties must arrange their own terms. The Executive
will do their best to find suitable men for the places offered, but
they give no recommendation. It is earnestly requested that members
making a change will at once send their new address to the Secretary.
_The Register of Dogs for Sale_
The Association maintains at its offices a register of sporting dogs,
belonging to its members, which are for sale, and from time to time
advertisements will be placed in certain papers that dogs are on
the register for disposal. It will be the earnest endeavour of the
Executive to induce sportsmen, in want of well-trained dogs, to apply
to the Secretary, and it is hoped that head-keepers requiring dogs will
purchase through the Association.
_Directions for Placing a Dog upon the Register of the Association_
A member of the Association having a dog for sale must write to the
Secretary for a form on which the animal and its capabilities may be
described. When the Secretary receives this form back the dog will be
entered upon the Register of the Association.
Each member in corresponding with the Secretary must give his number,
which number will be found on his card of membership.
Should a dog upon the Register of the Association be disposed of
privately by its owner, he must immediately inform the Secretary, that
it may be removed from the Register. Breaches of this order will be
dealt with by the Committee, because endless confusion and delay will
ensue if it is not followed out.
Beyond placing seller and purchaser in communication with each other,
the Association can accept no responsibility.
_Rules to be observed by both Parties when a Dog goes on Trial_
1. When an intending purchaser stipulates for a trial, a dog must be in
his hands four clear days, the days of despatch and return not being
counted.
2. The intending purchaser must be deemed responsible for the dog's
safety during the period allowed for trial.
3. The carriage of a dog on the outward journey must be paid by the
person to whom it goes on trial.
4. If a dog is returned after a trial as unsuitable, its owner must pay
carriage on the homeward journey.
5. On a sale being concluded, the late owner of the dog sold must
immediately inform the Secretary.
6. If a dog after trial is returned as unsuitable, its owner must at
once inform the Secretary. Until he has done this, no further measures
for its sale will be taken.
_Notice_
Gentlemen will much simplify the work of the Secretary if, when
requiring a dog, they explicitly state their wants, and mention the
price they are prepared to give.
