"In the middle states, principally in southern Ohio, where pointers were bred from time immemorial, the dog "Harris' Mac" was very well thought of. He was whelped in 1874, was solid lemon in color, and decidedly one of the old, heavy-flewed kind. Local tradition tells us a very pretty story about this dog being descended from the old Pape strain of black pointers through a dog called "Otto" that was brought over to America by Colonel York of Cincinnati in 1867 or '68. "Harris' Mac" was a splendid field dog and acquired such a great local reputation that most pointer fanciers bred to him. Messrs. Sander, at the time very active in pointer breeding, sent a bitch to him called "Linn" and from this union came "Diana" which produced a rather remarkable litter by "Meteor", among which were the bench winners, "King Shot", "Pap Smizer" and "Rumpty". Bred to "Seitner's Lass" (by imported "Sleaford" out of "Dawn") "Mac" became the sire of "Lady" which produced "Glendale" when mated to "Bodine". "Glendale" was the sire of "Champion Duke of Vernon" and "Stanley". Once more we have evidencd that this so-called native stock was pure and when mated with the later importations, bred on in a very satisfactory manner." -- Hochwalt, 1923, The Modern Pointer
