FACTS THAT BLOODHOUND PURCHASERS SHOULD KNOW. 



All Bloodhound breeders in Europe or America register their hounds with 

 the English or American Kennel Club. A hound must have certain character- 

 istics to be a Bloodhound ; without those characteristics no hound is or can be 

 a Bloodhound. The names English, American, Cuban, Siberian, etc., exist only 

 as words or phrases, to deceive the public, or to swindle a purchaser. Never 

 buy without obtaining a certified pedigree, registration receipt and number of 

 the hound from one or both clubs, as nine out of ten buyers would not know a 

 Bloodhound when they saw one. Those who want the genuine Bloodhound 

 should be cautious in buying from any person other than exhibitors, as they 

 OWN, BREED, BUY and can SELL the most perfect specimens. Many 

 dealers buy the inferior, degenerated, worthless and cheap CULLS, breeding 

 from them, they offer the "WEEDS*' thus produced as hounds equal to those 

 which have cost thousands of dollars to develop. Every Bloodhound BREEDER 

 that has hounds of TYPE, CHARACTER and QUALITY, i. e., 'The Blood- 

 hound of Fact," you will always find with his hounds REPRESENTED at all 

 the LARGE SHOWS, courting competition. The others are noted by their 

 absence.

 PIONSHIP MEDAL, offered by the AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB, and the 

 WINNERS' HONOR for the best BLOODHOUND at the New York Show,

 Ancestors, with Physical and Mental ability to hunt MAN or BEAST, produc- 

 ing strong and typical youngsters that are also MAN-HUNTERS. Judges, 

 Fanciers and Breeders pronounce him PERFECT in Bloodhound Character,

 peting, under FIVE SPECIALTY JUDGES.
