CHAPTER III. 
KENNELS AND KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 
Greyhound Kennels—Foxhound Kennels—Pointer Kennels—K ennels 
for Single Dogs—House-Dogs. 
BETWEEN the kennels intended for the various kinds of dogs and 
the methods of management therein some considerable difference 
exists, though the same principles are adopted throughout. Thus, 
packs of foxhounds are often kept to the number of 80 or even 
100 couples, and these must be managed rather differently to the 
three or four brace of greyhounds or pointers which usually con- 
stitute the extent of each of these kinds in one man’s possession, 
or at all events in one building. Besides this, foxhounds are much 
more exposed to the weather than greyhounds, which are usually 
clothed out of doors, and otherwise protected by dog-carts, dc. 
The former, therefore, must be hardened to the duties they have 
to perform, while the latter may be brought out in more vigorous 
health and with their speed very highly developed, but at the 
same time in so delicate a condition as to be liable to take cold if 
allowed to remain in the rain for any length of time. Hence it 
will be necessary to describe the kennels for greyhounds, hounds, 
pointers, &c., separately. 
GREYHOUND KENNELS. 
Every kennel intended for greyhounds should be thoroughly 
protected from the weather, and should have the yard covered in 
as well as the lodging-house. The plan which has been indicated 
at page 263, as useful for the kennel intended to rear puppies, 
is also best adapted for their future keeping, and this it will be 
desirable to describe more fully here.
