 there are such), who will supply his requirements. When 

 the purchaser has secured his few terriers, he cannot do

 and allow them to run about. Constant chaining up sours 

 the temper, spoils the limbs, and injures the constitution. 



If new names are to be given, such must be registered 

 with the Kennel Club at 27, Burlington Street, London, W., 

 the fee being one shilling per dog. The name selected, if 

 not previously adopted, then becomes the sole property of 

 the owner, so far as the shows held under Kennel Club rules 

 are concerned. If the dogs are not intended for exhibi- 

 tion, or only at such shows as do not adopt the Kennel 

 Club rules, then there is no occasion for this registra-

 a Stud Book confined entirely to fox terrier pedigrees, 

 which is edited by Mr. Hugh Dalziel, who was its original 

 founder, and is published by Mr. L. U. Gill, 170, Strand, 

 W.C. I am afraid that in times to come the multiplicity 

 of Stud Books will be found somewhat confusing, and we 

 must not forget that we are catering for future generations 

 as well as for ourselves. The fifth volume was issued in 

 December, 1894. 



Even a novice, with a good brood bitch, an equally good

 way. As the bitch is more or less out of order when 

 she has reared her pups, being thin in coat and condition, 

 it is not well to show her until about two months after 

 the pups have left her. Nor would I advise breeding
