HUNTING DOGS. 



131 



Do not breed a pair of young dogs, rather 

 select if possible, an old dog for a young bitch 

 for by breeding two young dogs their pups are 

 apt to be hot-headed, over-anxious and these 

 qualities are not wanted in a foxhound. 



To be sure of a strain of dogs the breeder 

 must know their ancestors three generations 

 back for it is surprising how far back a pup will 

 breed from, not only in color but in characteris- 

 tics, habits, etc.
