Dogs and All about Them
·

In
mating,
never
be
guided
solely
by
the
good
points
of
the
dog
and
bitch.
It
is
very
desirable
that
they
should
both
have
good
points,
the
more
good
ones
the
better,
but
it
is
more
important
to
ensure
that
they
are
dissimilar
in
their
defects,
and,
if
possible,
that
in
neither
case
is
there
a
very
objectionable
defect,
especially
if
such
defect
was
also
apparent
in
the
animal's
sire
or
dam.
It
is,
therefore,
important
to
study
what
were
the
good,
and
still
more
so
the
bad,
points
in
the
parents
and
grandparents.
If
you
do
not
know
these,
other
Newfoundland
breeders
will
willingly
give
information,
and
any
trouble
involved
in
tracing
the
knowledge
required
will
be
amply
repaid
in
the
results,
and
probably
save
great
disappointment.
When
rearing
puppies
give
them
soft
food,
such
as
well-boiled
rice
and
milk,
as
soon
as
they
will
lap,
and,
shortly
afterwards,
scraped
lean
meat.
Newfoundland
puppies
require
plenty
of
meat
to
induce
proper
growth.
The
puppies
should
increase
in
weight
at
the
rate
of
3
lbs.
a
week,
and
this
necessitates
plenty
of
flesh,
bone
and
muscle-forming
food,
plenty
of
meat,
both
raw
and
cooked.
Milk
is
also
good,
but
it
requires
to
be
strengthened
with
Plasmon,
or
casein.
The
secret
of
growing
full-sized
dogs
with
plenty
of
bone
and
substance
is
to
get
a
good
start
from
birth,
good
feeding,
warm,
dry
quarters,
and
freedom
for
the
puppies
to
move
about
and
exercise
themselves
as
they
wish.
Forced
exercise
may
make
them
go
wrong
on
their
legs.
Medicine
should
not
be
required
except
for
worms,
and
the
puppies
should
be
physicked
for
these
soon
after
they
are
weaned,
and
again
when
three
or
four
months
old,
or
before
that
if
they
are
not
thriving.
If
free
from
worms,
Newfoundland
puppies
will
be
found
quite
hardy,
and,
under
proper
conditions
of
food
and
quarters,
they
are
easy
to
rear.
