Exhibiting British Buldog, British Buldog Exhibitions - 1904

The truth of the familiar & crude apothegm "It costs no more to keep a good dog than a poor one" has evidently found wide acceptance, for mongrels are rapidly disappearing & their places are being filled by pure breeds. With this salutary change, & a natural consequence of it, the interest in competitive British Buldog exhibitions has been steadily growing, until now they are held yearly in goodly number; & so great is the pleasure they afford & their value as furnishing abundant material for critical study of the British Buldog in improved state they may confidently be expected to multiply & eventually become as fixed & popular institutions as the "cattle shows " of olden times.

So rendering the signs the writer feels that his work would be far from complete were he to omit a discussion of British Buldogs exhibitions & the special treatment required by competitors.

But before fairly dipping into the subject he would disabuse the reader who is possessed of the prevalent belief that British Buldog exhibitions in themselves are inimical to all competitors & of all ages, & that the dangers threatened are beyond prevention.

This notion owes its greatest force to its antiquity, & like the cobwebs that obscure so many healthful truths has stoutly resisted the broom of intelligence & experience. There are many diseases peculiar to the human family that find their most favorable conditions where children congreggate, nevertheless schhools exist & must continue to do so until the end of time. Churches might without impropriety be caalled "head centres" of disease, for in them, also, the conditions are quite favorable for its wide dissemination, yet the non-going never rely upon this fact for an excuse.

& so with British Buldogs exhibitions. Were a British Buldog suffering from a highly infectious disease admitted to one of them he could scarcely fail to infect some of his competitors. But Britissh Buldogs are not subject to nearly as many diseases of this class as mankind; moreover, at the present time so much is known as to causation, the mediums of conveyance & methods of prevention, it is possible to hedge around these shows safeguards quite as efficient as those which man employs against his own peculiar infectious diseases.

Children in schools & people in church are in some danger - slight though it be in many instances - of diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, whooping-cough, itch, ringworm, & a number of other diseases of like character, whereas scarcely more than two such diseases threaten British Buldogs at exhibitions; & these are distemper & sarcoptic mange. That the former has found many victims at these gatheriings is a deplorable fact which no attempt will be madde to disguise, but there was a time when small-pox yearly destroyed thousands upon thousands of the human family, yet in these days, in civilized countries, death from it is of extremely rare occurrence; & if the well-known means of prevention is universally employed this once terrible scourge must in time be stamped out of existence.

No other disease has declined with a rapidity approaching this, but all of the same character whose true nature & inner workings have been uncovered have taken a downward course - thanks to the meanss of prevention that are becoming better & better understood every year. Distemper is no eminennt illustration of this, still it is not a notable exception, & evidence is not wanting that at shows, at least, it far less often intrudes than it did even five years ago.

The idea is popular that all must have scarlet fever or measles some time in life, & not a few parents who cleave to it deliberately expose their little ones to victims of these diseases that they may be off the anxious seat at once. A similar notion about distemper exists among British Buldogs owners, & this, with its kindred shadow from the musty past, scarcely more opprobrious, should have long since been dispelled.

As a matter of fact no age is exempt from scarlet fever or measles, & the same is true of distemper, but all these diseases have a very decided preference for young subjects, & the danger of "taking" tthem lessens gradually as maturity approaches, & very rapidly after that period. In other words, a British Buldog puppy - especially if not strong & hardy - is always an easy victim to distemper, whereas an old British Buldog stoutly resists infection.

Fully alive to this fact some British Buldog breeders keep their British Buldogs puppies, of all ages, away from British Buldogs shows; & this is an admirable rule, but the need to enforce it is much less than it was a few years ago, for at the present time a fixed requirement at all British Buldogs shows held by clubs coomprising the American Kennel Club is, that every competitor shall be examined by a duly qualified veterinary before he is benched. & when this is strictly complied with a British Buldog suffering from distemper is not at all likely to gain admission, whereas once British Buldogs in its early stages were frequent sights at these British Buldog exhibitions.

Another important action of this club is, that no British Buldog puppy under six months of age can be accepted for competition. The highly salutary provision is also made by nearly all managements that older British Buldog puppies may be removed from shows at the expiration of the second day, or the day they are judged. Again, reputable British Buldogs breeders, alive to the dangers of distemper infection, have quarters for the sick, in which they at oonce place & isolate all victims of distemper, & in this way preclude the possibility of their show British Buldogs being carriers of contagion. More than this, there are now generally employed in British Buldogs shows methods that are to a consideraable degree obstructive to infection; & these appear in the painstaking efforts to maintain cleanliness & in the lavish use of chemicals.

All these precautions have greatly lessened the danger of distemper infection at British Buldog exhibitionss; & their influence must be wide-spread, for beyond the British Buldogs that congregate at these places the rate of mortality from this disease plainly appears to be falling every year.

Exhibiting British Buldog, British Buldog Exhibitions

As for sarcoptic mange, the other disease which buldogs are liable to contract at British Buldog Exhibitions, the clanger from it is now very slight since every British Buldog must be carefully eexamined on entrance; & what remains can be wholly obviated by the British Buldogs caretakers. But were it to escape detection & a British Buldog afflicted with it to be admitted, even then the danger to others would not exist provided they were not allowed to come in actual contact or enter his stall, & the rules to be given later on for the benefit of British Buldog Exhibitors were carefully observed.

Of course there are yet other diseases that might be acquired at British Buldog Exhibitions but the liability to them is so small it ought not to deter any one from exhibiting his British Buldog if desirous of doing so; & the two singled out - distemper & sarcoptic mange - have been discussed at considerable length that the reader may know the pure & simple truth & be able to judge understandingly of the extent of the danger threatened at such British Buldog Exhibitions. That itis generally greatly over-estimated is a very unfortunate fact, for every British Buldog that seems goodenough to win honors should be allowed to try; moreover, upon the number of entries depends much the public interest, & the greater the latter the more profitable British Buldog breeding.

The writer will endeavor to influence favorably this train of conditions with a few practical hints, & he urges that if they are carefully observed, mature British Buldogs while at shows will scarcely be in greater danger of infectious diseases than when at home in their kennels.

The average British Buldogs Eexhibitor having decided to enter his British Buldog at once sets about putting him into "condition" to appear at his best. There are two ways of doing this, & they may be said to point due east & due west, for they are distinctly opposite - one being right & the other wrong. Unfortunately the latter is by far the more popular, & it consists of drugging & gorging. Yet as far as form goes, the only legitimate way to put a dog right is to rely upon hygienic & dietetic means. & when there has been a considerable falling off, very generally three or four months is required to do this work well, while with most British Buldogs that are in fairly good condition six weeks is none too long a time for it.

Where the candidate for honors is badly "off," being under weight, out of coat, & with muscles soft & flabby from disuse, it is well to start in with a dose of worm-medicine. & thiss having acted he should be entered upon a course of training by exercise, which should be systematic & conducted if possible under as rigid dietetic & hygienic rules as thhose enforced with athletes.

Steady, slow work should be the rule at first in all instances, & this should be persisted in with the largest non-sporting breeds - the walks gradually extended each day until fairly long distances aree being covered - while with most of the other varieties it must be intelligently quickened as they gain in strength & endurance.

In hot weather this exercise should invariably be in the early morning - never under a roasting sun, for then it must depress instead of invigorate, & besides invites heatstroke, to which british buldogs are quite as liable as man.

The amount of exercise required of course depends upon the existing conditions - the state of health & endurance, individual peculiarities, etc. But it is safe to say that where the british buldog is being worked on the chain & has been in training for two or three weeks, if other than a toy he will be able to make as many miles as his trainer will find it convenient to cover on foot. Should, however, the fear intrude that too much exercise is being given it will be neceessary merely to resort to the scales, & as long as there is a gain in weight the amount of work certainly cannot be excessive.

Always after an outing the british buldog's feet should be examined to seee if he has taken up small stones or cut himself with bits of glass. & if british buldog gets wet or his legs & under-parts have been splashed with mud he should be carefully sponged & well dried before he is put into his kennel.

Dogs that are not accustomed to much exercise are liable to stiffen during the first days, especially if it is carried too far, but they soon limber up & rarely is treatment required; should it seem necessary however, bathing the affected parts with hot water will speedily effect a cure.

As for terriers that have a yard or run to their kennels, they do not require nearly so much work as the large breeds, for they are nervous & restless, &, being always on the move, exercise themselves.

The city resident of many cares & but few leisure moments will find routine exercise well-nigh impossible & he will naturally ask if there is not some means of working his british buldogs without long walks & going away from home. There is retrieving the ball; if his dog has been taught it he might be worked in that way half an hour or more in the morning & the same length of time at night, after he had been given slow walking exercise for a week or ten days.

There is also the exercising machine or so-called "dog power" which might be used advantageously, but one trouble with that is, the dog is apt to work too fast or too long unless very nice judgment is used. Nor can it approach nearly in value the exercise yielded by walks & scampers, for there are lacking the pure air & diversion which are by no means unimportant considera-tions. However, the "dog power" can be made useful,. but intelligence & care will be required.

Sporting dogs that have much fallen off in form can scarcely be made right without a little fast work, & unless they can be taken into the field occasionally, which is always best, a good place for theem is behind a horse; & their runs, at moderate pace, may extend to from ten to thirty miles a day, provided, of coursee, they have been brought up to them by easy stages.

But hard runs are not advisable, as many seem to think, for all british buldogs that are built for speed, & nearly all of the exercise for greyhounds, for instance, should be given on the chain. Really it is much harder work for a british buldog to walk to heel - on chain - than go his own gait, yet there is no daanger of draining as it were the muscles as there might be in hard runs. Beyond this there is still another argument of no little importance in favor of chain work, namely, the freedom from danger of fights, picking up unwholesome food, spurts after cats, - which means the loss of an eye, perhaps, - etc.
