Dogs and All about Them

Puppies
should
be
allowed
all
the
liberty
possible,
and
never
be
tied
up:
they
should
be
taken
out
for
steady,
gentle
exercise,
and
not
permitted
to
get
too
fat
or
they
become
too
heavy,
with
detrimental
results
to
their
legs.
Many
Mastiff
puppies
are
very
shy
and
nervous,
but
they
will
grow
out
of
this
if
kindly
handled,
and
eventually
become
the
best
guard
and
protector
it
is
possible
to
have.
The
temper
of
a
Mastiff
should
be
taken
into
consideration
by
the
breeder.
They
are,
as
a
rule,
possessed
of
the
best
of
tempers.
A
savage
dog
with
such
power
as
the
Mastiff
possesses
is
indeed
a
dangerous
creature,
and,
therefore,
some
inquiries
as
to
the
temper
of
a
stud
dog
should
be
made
before
deciding
to
use
him.
In
these
dogs,
as
in
all
others,
it
is
a
question
of
how
they
are
treated
by
the
person
having
charge
of
them.
The
feeding
of
puppies
is
an
important
matter,
and
should
be
carefully
seen
to
by
anyone
wishing
to
rear
them
successfully.
If
goat's
milk
is
procurable
it
is
preferable
to
cow's
milk.
The
price
asked
for
it
is
sometimes
prohibitory,
but
this
difficulty
may
be
surmounted
in
many
cases
by
keeping
a
goat
or
two
on
the
premises.
Many
breeders
have
obtained
a
goat
with
the
sole
object
of
rearing
a
litter
of
puppies
on
her
milk,
and
have
eventually
discarded
cow's
milk
altogether,
using
goat's
milk
for
household
purposes
instead.
As
soon
as
the
puppies
will
lap
they
should
be
induced
to
take
arrowroot
prepared
with
milk.
Oatmeal
and
maizemeal,
about
one
quarter
of
the
latter
to
three
quarters
of
the
former,
make
a
good
food
for
puppies.
Dog
biscuits
and
the
various
hound
meals,
soaked
in
good
broth,
may
be
used
with
advantage,
but
no
dogs,
either
large
or
small,
can
be
kept
in
condition
for
any
length
of
time
without
a
fair
proportion
of
meat
of
some
kind.
Sheep's
paunches,
cleaned
and
well
boiled,
mixed
with
sweet
stale
bread,
previously
soaked
in
cold
water,
make
an
excellent
food
and
can
hardly
be
excelled
as
a
staple
diet.
In
feeding
on
horseflesh
care
should
be
taken
to
ascertain
that
the
horse
was
not
diseased,
especially
if
any
is
given
uncooked.
