Dogs and All about Them

See
that
the
ears
are
very
small
and
thin,
and
the
eyes
set
well
apart.
The
puppy
having
these
properties,
together
with
a
domed,
peaked,
or
"cocoanut"
shaped
skull,
is
the
one
which,
in
nine
cases
out
of
ten,
will
eventually
make
the
best
headed
dog
of
the
litter.
The
breeding
of
Bulldogs
requires
unlimited
patience,
as
success
is
very
difficult
to
attain.
The
breeder
who
can
rear
five
out
of
every
ten
puppies
born
may
be
considered
fortunate.
It
is
frequently
found
in
what
appears
to
be
a
healthy
lot
of
puppies
that
some
of
them
begin
to
whine
and
whimper
towards
the
end
of
the
first
day,
and
in
such
cases
the
writer's
experience
is
that
there
will
be
a
speedy
burial.
It
may
be
that
the
cause
is
due
to
some
acidity
of
the
milk,
but
in
such
a
case
one
would
expect
that
similar
difficulty
would
be
experienced
with
the
remainder
of
the
litter,
but
this
is
not
the
usual
result.
Provided
that
the
puppies
can
be
kept
alive
until
the
fourth
day,
it
may
be
taken
that
the
chances
are
well
in
favour
of
ultimate
success.
Many
breeders
object
to
feeding
the
mother
with
meat
at
this
time,
but
the
writer
once
had
two
litter
sisters
who
whelped
on
the
same
day,
and
he
decided
to
try
the
effect
of
a
meat
versus
farinaceous
diet
upon
them.
As
a
result
the
bitch
who
was
freely
fed
with
raw
beef
reared
a
stronger
lot
of
puppies,
showing
better
developed
bone,
than
did
the
one
who
was
fed
on
milk
and
cereals.
