Dogs and All about Them

To
rear
Dachshund
puppies
successfully
you
must
not
overload
them
with
fat--give
them
strengthening
food
that
does
not
lay
on
flesh.
Lean,
raw
beef,
finely
chopped,
is
an
excellent
food
once
or
twice
a
day
for
the
first
few
months,
and,
though
this
comes
expensive,
it
pays
in
the
end.
Raw
meat
is
supposed
to
cause
worm
troubles,
but
these
pests
are
also
found
where
meat
is
not
given,
and
in
any
case
a
puppy
is
fortified
with
more
strength
to
withstand
them
if
fed
on
raw
meat
than
otherwise,
and
a
good
dosing
from
time
to
time
will
be
all
that
is
necessary
to
keep
him
well
and
happy.
Young
growing
puppies
must
have
their
freedom
to
gambol
about,
and
get
their
legs
strong.
Never
keep
the
puppies
cooped
up
in
a
small
kennel
run
or
house.
If
you
have
a
fair-sized
yard,
give
them
the
run
of
that,
or
even
the
garden,
in
spite
of
what
your
gardener
may
say--they
may
do
a
little
damage
to
the
flowers,
but
will
assuredly
do
good
to
themselves.
They
love
to
dig
in
the
soft
borders:
digging
is
second
nature
to
them,
and
is
of
great
importance
in
their
development.
If
you
have
not
a
garden,
or
if
the
flowers
are
too
sacred,
it
is
better
to
place
your
puppies
as
early
as
possible
with
respectable
cottagers,
or
small
farmers,
especially
the
latter,
with
whom
they
will
have
entire
freedom
to
run
about,
and
will
not
be
overfed.
If
you
intend
to
show
your
puppies,
you
should
begin
some
time
in
advance
to
school
them
to
walk
on
the
lead
and
to
stand
quiet
when
ordered
to.
Much
depends
on
this
in
the
judging
ring,
where
a
dog
who
is
unused
to
being
on
a
lead
often
spoils
his
chances
of
appearing
at
his
best
under
the
(to
him)
strange
experiences
of
restraint
which
the
lead
entails.
