HOW TO BEGIN 51 



there are fakers and frauds aplenty. This does 

 not mean that every concern advertising to 

 buy back stock is conducting a campaign of 

 misrepresentation, or is not honest. You may 

 be sure, though, that any concern making ex- 

 aggerated claims is not above suspicion. 



If you can see your stock before you buy it, 

 that will be a great advantage. Perhaps, how- 

 ever, you are not familiar enough with the 

 breeds to know a good from a bad specimen. 

 In that event it certainly will pay you to get 

 an experienced rabbit breeder to go with you, 

 even if you have to reimburse him for his 

 time. At any rate, buy from a breeder who 

 is a member of the National Breeders' and 

 Fanciers' Association, for then you have a 

 chance of obtaining redress if the stock is mis- 

 represented. In every section of the country 

 there is a representative of this association to 

 whom you can appeal if you think you have 

 been wronged. (See appendix.) There are 

 plenty of good, reliable dealers from whom 

 you can be safe in buying. Many of them 

 have their best stock registered. Buy reg- 

 istered stock when purchasing high priced 

 specimens.
