HOW TO BUY A DOG 



This is not such an easy matter as it sounds 

 at the first blush, for I have known men 

 and women spend many an anxious hour 

 before they could make up their minds as to 

 what breed they should keep. The choice 

 is so wide, the variety sufficiently great to 

 be bewildering. If the dog is wanted 

 purely for sporting purposes, of course the 

 field is narrowed at once, and you cannot 

 do better than consult some experienced 

 friend who will tell you which is best 

 adapted to the country in which you live. 

 Should you be fond of hound work and 

 yet cannot run to the finest of all sports, 

 fox-hunting, you may derive endless pleasure
