glossy coat and a clear eye. you must give him 
proper food. Careless feeding makes him fat, 
logy and generally unhealthy.

The Pekingese Spaniel 
I S he hard to raise? and is he a good 
house dog? These, and numerous 
other questions are repeatedly asked by 
people viewing the charming little dog for 
the first time. This quaint little Oriental, 
whose chief beauty lies in his ugliness, is 
one of the oldest toy dogs known to civ¬ 
ilization ; we have evidence of this in the 
bronzes, ivories, statuary and embroid¬ 
eries which are in existence, and are 
known to be over one thousand years old. 
He is a charming, intelligent, and affec¬ 
tionate companion, without a doubt, and 
is the most lovable and sensible of toy 
dogs; he is full of vivacity and courage, 
and possesses a remarkable memory, for 
it is a fact that after an absence of years, 
he will recognize and welcome a former 
owner. Besides these qualities the Pekin- 
t 0 
A splendid example of the parti-colored Pe¬ 
kingese, true to type — Ty Tou, belonging 
to Mr. R. H. Hunt 
gese is a good little sportsman, he will 
chase a rabbit across country, and is able 
to hunt like a drag hound. 
He never barks unnecessarily, but no 
stranger can approach without his giving 
you due warning; he is utterly without 
fear and is brave to the point of reckless¬ 
ness. 
No praise can be too high for the sta¬ 
mina of these dogs, for without a doubt 
there are few hardier breeds. Pekin, their 
home, is one of the hottest and coldest 
of places, so they very naturally adapt 
themselves to most climates. They are 
very easily raised and generally thrive 
well on a diet of bread and meat, and 
cereals; the bread should be baked or 
kiln dried. Shredded wheat is also an 
excellent food, mixed with either a little 
meat, or moistened with gravy. The dogs 
drink a great deal of water, which should 
always be within reach. 
There is no mistaking the true Pekin¬ 
gese, he exists, and has existed, in the 
same shape as now, for certainly 1,000 
years and probably very much longer. 
A characteristic description would men¬ 
tion his broad fiat skull, large lustrous 
eyes set well apart, broad nose (the flatter 
the better, and it is most essential it 
should be black) deep wide black muzzle
