When you feel that you must have,, a • dog, buy from a first-class breeder. His


price may- seem stiff,, but if you buyi a cheaper animal. It wlUl possibly-prove a mongrel. -Not that the nondescript pup is to be despised, for he; of ten.proves less expensive to keep int health than the thoroughbred.

older and quite trained keep him In .a little harness, on a lead ln the streera.


Otherwise modern traffic may malm your new pet before he la old enough! to know the meaning of f‘ safety first.’ -
