Dogs and All about Them
·

The
white
and
black
colouring
is
now
the
most
frequent.
The
points
desired
are
a
broad
and
rounded
skull,
large
in
proportion
to
the
dog's
body;
a
wide,
strong
muzzle
and
a
turned-up
lower
jaw.
Great
length
of
body
is
not
good;
the
back
should
be
short
and
level.
The
legs
are
by
preference
slender
and
much
feathered,
the
feet
large
and
well
separated.
An
important
point
is
the
coat.
It
should
be
abundant,
particularly
about
the
neck,
where
it
forms
a
ruffle,
and
it
ought
to
be
quite
straight
and
very
silky.
The
Japanese
Spaniel
is
constitutionally
delicate,
requiring
considerable
care
in
feeding.
A
frequent--almost
a
daily--change
of
diet
is
to
be
recommended,
and
manufactured
foods
are
to
be
avoided.
Rice
usually
agrees
well;
fresh
fish,
sheep's
head,
tongue,
chicken
livers,
milk
or
batter
puddings
are
also
suitable;
and
occasionally
give
oatmeal
porridge,
alternated
with
a
little
scraped
raw
meat
as
an
especial
favour.
For
puppies
newly
weaned
it
is
well
to
limit
the
supply
of
milk
foods
and
to
avoid
red
meat.
Finely
minced
rabbit,
or
fish
are
better.
Of
the
Japanese
Spaniels
which
have
recently
been
prominent
in
competition,
may
be
mentioned
Miss
Serena's
Champion
Fuji
of
Kobe,
a
remarkably
beautiful
bitch,
who
was
under
5
lb.
in
weight,
and
who
in
her
brief
life
gained
six
full
championships.
Mrs.
Gregson's
Ch.
Tora
of
Braywick,
a
fine
red
and
white
dog,
somewhat
over
7
lb.,
is
also
to
be
remembered
as
a
typical
example
of
the
breed,
together
with
Kara,
the
smallest
Jap
ever
exhibited
or
bred
in
this
country,
weighing
only
2-1/2
lb.
when
2-1/2
years
old;
Lady
Samuelson's
Togo
and
O'Toyo
of
Braywick,
and
Mrs.
Hull's
Ch.
Daddy
Jap.
