Dogs and All about Them
·

To
enumerate
in
detail
the
Miniature
Bulldog
scale
of
points
is
quite
unnecessary,
as
it
is
simply
that
of
the
big
ones
writ
small.
In
other
words,
"the
general
appearance
of
the
Miniature
Bulldog
must
as
nearly
as
possible
resemble
that
of
the
Big
Bulldog"--a
terse
sentence
which
comprises
in
itself
all
that
can
be
said
on
the
subject.
As
companions
and
friends
Miniature
Bulldogs
are
faithful,
fond,
and
even
foolish
in
their
devotion,
as
all
true
friends
should
be.
They
are
absolutely
and
invariably
good-tempered,
and,
as
a
rule,
sufficiently
fond
of
the
luxuries
of
this
life--not
to
say
greedy--to
be
easily
cajoled
into
obedience.
Remarkably
intelligent,
and
caring
enough
for
sport
to
be
sympathetically
excited
at
the
sight
of
a
rabbit
without
degenerating
into
cranks
on
the
subject
like
terriers.
Taking
a
keen
interest
in
all
surrounding
people
and
objects,
without,
however,
giving
way
to
ceaseless
barking;
enjoying
outdoor
exercise,
without
requiring
an
exhausting
amount,
they
are
in
every
way
ideal
pets,
and
adapt
themselves
to
town
and
country
alike.
As
puppies
they
are
delicate,
and
require
constant
care
and
supervision;
but
that
only
adds
a
keener
zest
to
the
attractive
task
of
breeding
them,
the
more
so
owing
to
the
fact
that
as
mothers
they
do
not
shine,
being
very
difficult
to
manage,
and
generally
manifesting
a
strong
dislike
to
rearing
their
own
offspring.
In
other
respects
they
are
quite
hardy
little
dogs,
and--one
great
advantage--they
seldom
have
distemper.
Cold
and
damp
they
particularly
dislike,
especially
when
puppies,
and
the
greatest
care
should
be
taken
to
keep
them
thoroughly
dry
and
warm.
When
very
young
indeed
they
can
stand,
and
are
the
better
for,
an
extraordinary
amount
of
heat.
