Your Dog and Your Cat 



Unless the dog will allow the buyer to handle him 

 freely, in the presence of his owner, he should be 

 looked upon with suspicion. 



Unclean dogs are very undesirable. Few dealers 

 will guarantee that a dog is house broken. It can, 

 of course, never be expected of puppies. Dogs that 

 are confined to a cage offer excellent evidence of 

 their cleanliness. A naturally clean dog will refrain 

 from using the cage as long as possible, and will 

 thereafter carefully avoid it, but a filthy dog will 

 promptly proceed to smear his cage as much as 

 possible. A healthy dog that conducts himself in 

 this way can never be trained to cleanly habits 

 about the house. 



Sex. — Male dogs are usually preferred. Females 

 are troublesome during their period of season. This 

 inconvenience can be remedied by submitting the dog 

 to an operation. An unsexed female is in many ways 

 superior to a male as a pet, and is more desirable 

 with children.
