Dogs and All about Them

The
rules
of
hygiene
cannot
be
overlooked,
as
upon
them
hangs
the
success
of
the
breeder;
plenty
of
fresh
air,
light,
and
sunshine
are
as
necessary
as
food.
Puppies
of
this
breed
are
essentially
delicate,
and
must
be
kept
free
from
cold
and
draughts,
but
they
require
liberty
and
freedom
to
develop
and
strengthen
their
limbs,
otherwise
they
are
liable
to
develop
rickets.
Their
food
should
be
of
the
best
quality,
and
after
the
age
of
six
months,
nothing
seems
more
suitable
than
stale
brown
bred,
cut
up
dice
size,
and
moistened
with
good
stock
gravy,
together
with
minced,
lean,
underdone
roast
beef,
with
the
addition,
two
or
three
times
a
week,
of
a
little
well-cooked
green
vegetable,
varied
with
rice
or
suet
pudding
and
plain
biscuits.
Fish
may
also
be
given
occasionally.
When
only
two
or
three
dogs
are
kept,
table
scraps
will
generally
be
sufficient,
but
the
pernicious
habit
of
feeding
at
all
times,
and
giving
sweets,
pastry,
and
rich
dainties,
is
most
harmful,
and
must
produce
disastrous
results
to
the
unfortunate
animal.
Two
meals
a
day
at
regular
intervals
are
quite
sufficient
to
keep
these
little
pets
in
the
best
condition,
although
puppies
should
be
fed
four
times
daily
in
small
quantities.
After
leaving
the
mother
they
will
thrive
better
if
put
on
dry
food,
and
a
small
portion
of
scraped
or
finely
minced
lean
meat
given
them
every
other
day,
alternately
with
a
chopped
hard-boiled
egg
and
stale
bread-crumbs.
