KENNELS AND THEIR 

 CONSTRUCTION 



" FiBST catch your hare," said the immortal 

 Mrs. Glasse, who, after all, was not a lady but 

 a certain Dr. John Hill. Very admirable 

 advice, no doubt, to the cook, but not to the 

 would-be dog-owner. Have your accommo- 

 dation ready before you set out to buy a dog, 

 and do not start with the premise that any- 

 thing is good enough, unless you wish to 

 make a bad mistake at the outset. Dogs 

 are sensitive beings, liable to various ail- 

 ments, and eager to reciprocate any kindness, 

 so please make up your mind to do the thing 

 properly if you are going to do it at all. 

 The smaller breeds can be slept in a box
