676 PRACTICAL PROBLEMS 



It is doing no injustice to any breed to remind the young 

 breeder that the bulk of young things come to very little. He 

 will be safer with old animals even those of considerable age, 

 providing they are still fertile. 



With him much depends upon price. He has no call to pay 

 extreme prices. He cannot sell his stuff at maximum prices till 

 he has been in the business long enough to acquire something 

 of a reputation, and one of his best early reputations is as a 

 careful, judicious buyer. 



If the young breeder ever loses his head in the sales ring, let 

 him not do it on a female, that can at best produce but few, or 

 upon extremely young things, which stand about as many chances 

 of coming out wrong as they do of coming out right.
