Al'Jahiz * has said tliattlie largest numlier of pups at a birth- 

 is twelve, but that ordinarily not more than five to seven are pro- 

 duced. Occasionally only one is horn, and if such he the case the 

 pup will he better than its sii'e. Should one dog and one hitch 

 he produced, the dog will be the better of the two. If three pups 

 be bom, one being a bitch resembling the mother, then the bitch 

 pup will he the best. If several pups he produced, only one being 

 a bitch, then that bitch will be the worst of its species.*
