REARING PUPPIES. 



If, therefore, a sapling displays such gross defects as 

 to make it evident to the judgment of his owner that he 

 does not come up to the standard of a good Greyhound, 

 and cannot, on account of these defects, be reasonably 

 expected to develop qualities required in a good coursing 

 dog, then he is not kept, as it would be folly to incur 

 the very heavy charges of training him. 



Saplings before they are thus tried should have some 

 training, for otherwise a courageous youngster getting 

 on to a strong hare might get such a pumper as to do 

 him material injury. Months before the dog can be run 

 as a sapling he should be accustomed to be led both singly 

 and in couples, otherwise, if so handled for the first time 

 at a meeting, he would be most troublesome to his owner, 

 a nuisance to others, and, in fact, probably could not be 

 slipped.
