15— HOW TO SELL DOGS 



dog. A do|? should have a good 

 home in order that the number of 

 stray dogs will not be increased. 

 Dog ownership brings the obliga- 

 tion to care for, supervise and train 

 the dog properly. Unless the pros- 

 pect is willing to do this, the breeder 

 should not sell a dog to him. 



Instructions on Care of Puppy 



The interest which the breeder 

 has in a dog after the sale usually 

 urges him to give a booklet or leaflet 

 on the care, feeding and training of 

 the dog. This service really means 

 better care and more comfort for 

 the dog and more pride and satis- 

 faction on the part of the new own- 

 er. The probability of illness also is 

 lessened. 



Not a few kennels give to each 

 purchaser of a puppy the author's 

 Handy Dog Booklet "Puppies and 

 Their Care." 



Be Considerate of the Puppy 



A dog, particularly a young pup- 

 py, is a bundle of soft, cuddly, affec- 



tionate fur. It is taken away from 

 the warm breasts of its mother, 

 away from its brothers and sisters, 

 away from the scene of its birth and 

 its happy playground; it is suddenly 

 thrown into a new world where it 

 must meet new faces, hear strange 

 sounds and yield to a new master. 



It must have care several times 

 each day. Its mind must be devel- 

 oped and its character formed. The 

 psychology of its mind must be un- 

 derstood by the master. 



The seller of a dog sells a living 

 thing which, of all the animal king- 

 dom approaches nearest to the hu- 

 man race in its possibilities of mind. 

 As important as are the amount of 

 price and the getting of the price 

 at the time of the sale, the assurance 

 that the new master of the dog will 

 give the dog every attention, fur- 

 nish it a good home, and train its 

 mind properly is more important. 



The dog is the only instance 

 where money can buy true love.
