Dogs and All about Them

As
regards
size,
a
Borzoi
pup
of
three
months
should
measure
about
19
inches
at
the
shoulder,
at
six
months
about
25
inches,
and
at
nine
months
from
27
to
29
inches.
After
ten
or
twelve
months,
growth
is
very
slow,
although
some
continue
adding
to
their
height
until
they
are
a
year
and
a
half
old.
They
will,
of
course,
increase
in
girth
of
chest
and
develop
muscle
until
two
years
old;
a
Borzoi
may
be
considered
in
its
prime
at
from
three
to
four
years
of
age.
As
regards
price,
from
P5
to
P10
is
not
too
much
to
pay
for
a
really
good
pup
of
about
eight
to
ten
weeks
old;
if
you
pay
less
you
will
probably
get
only
a
second-rate
one.
Having
purchased
your
puppy,
there
are
three
principal
items
to
be
considered
if
you
intend
to
rear
him
well;
firstly,
his
diet
must
be
varied;
secondly,
the
pup
must
have
unlimited
exercise,
and
never
be
kept
on
the
chain;
thirdly,
internal
parasites
must
be
kept
in
check.
For
young
puppies
"Ruby"
Worm
Cure
is
most
efficacious,
and
does
not
distress
the
patient.
Food
should
be
given
at
regular
intervals--not
less
frequently
than
five
times
a
day
to
newly
weaned
puppies--and
may
consist
of
porridge,
bread
and
milk,
raw
meat
minced
fine,
and
any
table
scraps,
with
plenty
of
new
milk.
Well-boiled
paunch
is
also
greatly
appreciated,
and,
being
easily
digested,
may
be
given
freely.
One
important
part
of
the
puppy's
education
that
must
by
no
means
be
neglected
is
to
accustom
him
to
go
on
the
collar
and
lead.
Borzoi
pups
are,
as
a
rule
extremely
nervous,
and
it
requires
great
patience
in
some
cases
to
train
them
to
the
lead.
Short
lessons
should
be
given
when
about
four
months
old.
If
you
can
induce
the
puppy
to
think
it
is
a
new
game,
well
and
good--he
will
take
to
it
naturally;
but
once
he
looks
upon
it
as
something
to
be
dreaded,
it
means
hours
of
patient
work
to
break
him
in.
