Similarly,
in
order
that
the
puppy,
after
weaning,
may
develop
plenty
of
bone
and
muscle,
it
is
advisable
to
feed
once
a
day
upon
finely
minced
raw
meat.
There
are
some
successful
breeders,
indeed,
who
invariably
give
to
each
puppy
a
teaspoonful
of
cod
liver
oil
in
the
morning
and
a
similar
dose
of
extract
of
malt
in
the
evening,
with
the
result
that
there
are
never
any
rickety
or
weak
dogs
in
the
kennels,
whilst
the
development
of
the
bones
in
the
skull
and
limbs
is
most
pronounced.
Owing
to
their
lethargic
disposition,
young
Bulldogs
are
somewhat
liable
to
indigestion,
and
during
the
period
of
puppyhood
it
is
of
advantage
to
give
them
a
tablespoonful
of
lime
water
once
a
day
in
their
milk
food.
Many
novices
are
in
doubt
as
to
the
best
time
to
breed
from
a
Bull
bitch,
seeing
that
oestrum
is
present
before
she
is
fully
developed.
It
may
be
taken
as
practically
certain
that
it
is
better
for
her
to
be
allowed
to
breed
at
her
first
heat.
Nature
has
so
arranged
matters
that
a
Bull
bitch
is
not
firmly
set
in
her
bones
until
she
reaches
an
age
of
from
twelve
to
eighteen
months,
and
therefore
she
will
have
less
difficulty
in
giving
birth
to
her
offspring
if
she
be
allowed
to
breed
at
this
time.
Great
mortality
occurs
in
attempting
to
breed
from
maiden
bitches
exceeding
three
years
of
age,
as
the
writer
knows
to
his
cost.
It
is
desirable,
in
the
case
of
a
young
bitch
having
her
first
litter,
for
her
master
or
mistress
to
be
near
her
at
the
time,
in
order
to
render
any
necessary
assistance;
but
such
attentions
should
not
be
given
unless
actual
necessity
arises.
