Dogs and All about Them
·

For
the
kennels
of
our
British-bred
dogs,
perhaps
a
southern
or
a
south-western
aspect
is
the
best,
but
wherever
it
is
placed
the
kennel
must
be
sufficiently
sheltered
from
rain
and
wind,
and
it
ought
to
be
provided
with
a
covered
run
in
which
the
inmates
may
have
full
liberty.
An
awning
of
some
kind
is
necessary.
Trees
afford
good
shelter
from
the
sun-rays,
but
they
harbour
moisture,
and
damp
must
be
avoided
at
all
costs.
When
only
one
outdoor
dog
is
kept,
a
kennel
can
be
improvised
out
of
a
packing-case,
supported
on
bricks
above
the
ground,
with
the
entrance
properly
shielded
from
the
weather.
No
dog
should
be
allowed
to
live
in
a
kennel
in
which
he
cannot
turn
round
at
full
length.
Properly
constructed,
portable,
and
well-ventilated
kennels
for
single
dogs
are
not
expensive
and
are
greatly
to
be
preferred
to
any
amateurish
makeshift.
A
good
one
for
a
terrier
need
not
cost
more
than
a
pound.
It
is
usually
the
single
dog
that
suffers
most
from
imperfect
accommodation.
His
kennel
is
generally
too
small
to
admit
of
a
good
bed
of
straw,
and
if
there
is
no
railed-in
run
attached
he
must
needs
be
chained
up.
The
dog
that
is
kept
on
the
chain
becomes
dirty
in
his
habits,
unhappy,
and
savage.
His
chain
is
often
too
short
and
is
not
provided
with
swivels
to
avert
kinks.
On
a
sudden
alarm,
or
on
the
appearance
of
a
trespassing
tabby,
he
will
often
bound
forward
at
the
risk
of
dislocating
his
neck.
The
yard-dog's
chain
ought
always
to
be
fitted
with
a
stop
link
spring
to
counteract
the
effect
of
the
sudden
jerk.
The
method
may
be
employed
with
advantage
in
the
garden
for
several
dogs,
a
separate
rope
being
used
for
each.
Unfriendly
dogs
can
thus
be
kept
safely
apart
and
still
be
to
some
extent
at
liberty.
