Dogs and All about Them
·

If
the
stud
dog
is
a
frequenter
of
shows
he
can
usually
be
depended
upon
to
be
in
sound
physical
condition.
No
dog
who
is
not
so
can
be
expected
to
win
prizes.
But
it
ought
to
be
ascertained
before
hand
that
he
is
what
is
known
as
a
good
stock-getter.
The
fee
is
for
his
services,
not
for
the
result
of
them.
Some
owners
of
stud
dogs
will
grant
two
services,
and
this
is
often
desirable,
especially
in
the
case
of
a
maiden
bitch
or
of
a
stud
dog
that
is
over-wrought,
as
so
many
are.
It
is
most
important
that
both
the
mated
animals
should
be
free
from
worms
and
skin
disorders.
Fifty
per
cent.
of
the
casualties
among
young
puppies
are
due
to
one
or
other
of
the
parents
having
been
in
an
unhealthy
condition
when
mated.
A
winter
whelping
is
not
advisable.
It
is
best
for
puppies
to
be
born
in
the
spring
or
early
summer,
thus
escaping
the
rigours
of
inclement
weather.
During
the
period
of
gestation
the
breeding
bitch
should
have
ample
but
not
violent
exercise,
with
varied
and
wholesome
food,
including
some
preparation
of
bone
meal;
and
at
about
the
third
week,
whether
she
seems
to
require
it
or
not,
she
should
be
treated
for
worms.
At
about
the
sixtieth
day
she
will
begin
to
be
uneasy
and
restless.
A
mild
purgative
should
be
given;
usually
salad
oil
is
enough,
but
if
constipation
is
apparent
castor
oil
may
be
necessary.
On
the
sixty-second
day
the
whelps
may
be
expected,
and
everything
ought
to
be
in
readiness
for
the
event.
