72 THE BOSTON TERRIER 



given away for stable dogs. Progressive up-to- 

 date kennel men will see that they have on hand 

 not only the three classes called for by the stand- 

 ard, but the fourth class, so to speak, that I have 

 mentioned above, those weighing anywhere from 

 thirty to forty pounds. Quite a number of 

 breeders in the past have put in the kennel pail 

 at birth extra large pups that they thought would 

 mature too large to sell, but they need do so no 

 longer. This precaution must always be taken 

 where there are one or more of these large size 

 puppies, viz., to look out that they do not get 

 more than their proportionate share of the milk, 

 or later the food, as they are very apt to crowd 

 out the others. 



Remember that the Boston terrier of what- 

 ever size will always hold his own as a com- 

 panion, a dog that can be talked to and caressed, 

 for between the dog and his owner will always 

 be found a bond of affection and sympathetic 

 understanding.
