William Bruette is remembered for his position as the longtime editor of the magazine publication: "Forest and Stream". The magazine was the preminant outdoors magazine beginning in 1873. Forest and Stream was published in New York City by Charles Haddock. Bruette was preceded in the editor's role by the famous American naturalist and ornithologist, George Bird Grinnell. The magazine covered topics about camping, canoeing, hunting, and fishing. Theodore Roosevelt wrote some articles for the publication. Forest and Stream was instrumental in the founding of the Audubon Society and in support for the 1918 US/Canadian Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Sporting dog training articles were a regular feature of Forest and Stream in conjunction with sporting dog breed historical information. The magazine merged with "Field and Stream" in 1930.
Bruette published his book "The Complete Dog Book" in 1921. A view of the Table of Contents (pages 9 and 10) reveal which dog breeds were popular in 1921:
