Dogs and All about Them

Some
bitches
with
excessive
lay-back
and
shortness
of
face
have
at
times
a
difficulty
in
releasing
the
puppy
from
the
membrane
in
which
it
is
born,
and
in
such
a
case
it
is
necessary
for
the
owner
to
open
this
covering
and
release
the
puppy,
gently
shaking
it
about
in
the
box
until
it
coughs
and
begins
to
breathe.
The
umbilical
cord
should
be
severed
from
the
afterbirth
about
four
inches
from
the
puppy,
and
this
will
dry
up
and
fall
away
in
the
course
of
a
couple
of
days.
In
general,
it
is
true
economy
for
the
Bulldog
breeder
to
provide
a
foster-mother
in
readiness
for
the
birth
of
the
expected
litter;
especially
is
this
so
in
the
case
of
a
first
litter,
when
the
qualifications
for
nursing
by
the
mother
are
unknown.
Where
there
are
more
than
five
puppies
it
is
also
desirable
to
obtain
a
foster-mother
in
order
that
full
nourishment
may
be
given
to
the
litter
by
both
mothers.
The
best
time
of
the
year
for
puppies
to
be
born
is
in
the
spring,
when,
owing
to
the
approaching
warm
weather,
they
can
lead
an
outdoor
life.
By
the
time
they
are
six
months
old
they
should
have
sufficient
stamina
to
enable
them
to
withstand
the
cold
of
the
succeeding
winter.
It
has
been
ascertained
that
Bulldogs
which
have
been
reared
out
of
doors
are
the
least
liable
to
suffer
from
indigestion,
torpidity
of
the
liver,
asthma
or
other
chest
ailments,
whilst
they
invariably
have
the
hardiest
constitution.
