Dogs and All about Them

To
the
reader
who
contemplates
possessing
one
or
more
Dachshunds
a
word
of
advice
may
be
offered.
Whether
you
want
a
dog
for
sport,
for
show,
or
as
a
companion,
endeavour
to
get
a
good
one--a
well-bred
one.
To
arrive
at
this
do
not
buy
from
an
advertisement
on
your
own
knowledge
of
the
breed,
but
seek
out
an
expert
amateur
breeder
and
exhibitor,
and
get
his
advice
and
assistance.
If
you
intend
to
start
a
kennel
for
show
purposes,
do
not
buy
a
high-priced
dog
at
a
show,
but
start
with
a
well-bred
bitch,
and
breed
your
own
puppies,
under
the
guidance
of
the
aforementioned
expert.
In
this
way,
and
by
rearing
and
keeping
your
puppies
till
they
are
of
an
age
to
be
exhibited,
and
at
the
same
time
carefully
noting
the
awards
at
the
best
shows,
you
will
speedily
learn
which
to
retain
and
the
right
type
of
dog
to
keep
and
breed
for,
and
in
future
operations
you
will
be
able
to
discard
inferior
puppies
at
an
earlier
age.
But
it
is
a
great
mistake,
if
you
intend
to
form
a
kennel
for
show
purposes,
to
sell
or
part
with
your
puppies
too
early.
It
is
notorious
with
all
breeds
that
puppies
change
very
much
as
they
grow.
The
best
looking
in
the
nest
often
go
wrong
later,
and
the
ugly
duckling
turns
out
the
best
of
the
litter.
This
is
especially
true
of
Dachshunds,
and
it
requires
an
expert
to
pick
the
best
puppy
of
a
litter
at
a
month
or
two
old,
and
even
he
may
be
at
fault
unless
the
puppy
is
exceptionally
well
reared.
