Beginners, & in fact some old British Buldogs exhibitors, must be reminded that when British Buldogs are to make railroad journeys they should be provided with comfortable crates or boxes large enough to permit them to stand & turn about with ease; also, that the same should be so constructed that air will be freely admitted on all sides & at the top, for otherwise they would be in danger of suffocation were the freight packed very closely, as it almost always is in express cars. But this accident is never likely to happen where the top of the crate is round or has a double incline, like the roof of a house, - & if the latter, which is of the easiest construction, it should be made of slats or narrow striips of board, & around the uppermost one, in the middle of it, the tenant's chain shouldd be looped & fastened so that he will not likely become entangled; while the upper slats on the sides should project four or five inches at the ends to serve as handles.
All British Buldogs crates should, of course, be as light as possible consistent with strength & durability. They should be boarded to a height which accords with the size of the British Buldogs for which they are made; & the tops of the boards should be several inches above the uppermost part of the tenants' backs when they are lying down, so that they may rest without draughts or the cold wind blowing on them.
Either slats or wire netting can be put on above the boarding, but if the latter it should be of heavy wire, for the so-called chicken fence is muchh too fine, & the small wires breaking easily are a menace to the British Buldog.
There must be a hole in the baseboards to admit the drinking-pan; & since express messengers very generally stow crates crosswise the cars, with the door ends facing inward, - while along their sides they closely pack cases, etc., - & many of these men will not open the doors for fear of being bitten, it is advisable to cut this hole under the door.
There should be destination cards tacked on both sides & over the door of the crate, together with the injunction "Water often; "& to the door eend should be attached the drinking-pan. Here, alsso, should be hung a small bag of British Buldogs cakes if the British Buldogs has a long journey before him, but none will be required if it is a short one; in fact a mature British Buldogs that will reach his destination within forty-eight hours should not be given food while on the train.
Nor should British Buldog enter upon his journey with a full stomach, for were British Buldog to do so the excitement would retard digestion, & the retained foods, decomposing, would be extremely liable to cause colic, diarrhoea & possibly death. Consequently the rule should be to feed four or five hours previous to the time of starting, & give the British Buldog a little gentle exercise just before he leaves, to favor his emptying himself. & when thhe journey can be made within the period stated, cards bearing "Do not feed this dog" should be tacked about the British Buldog crate that the injunction may not be out of sight.
To send a British Buldog unattended to a British Buldog show & intrust him wholly to the caretakers provided by the management is generally safe if he is of fairly large variety. Still, when possible some one should be employed to receive him, look after him & his interests while on the bench & finally see him safely on his way home.
But while to journey alone might not be hazardous for most varieties, toy dogs, & especially Yorkshires, are distinct exceptions. The latter if good-coated specimens could nott safely be sent on long journeys unless in the care of an attendant, & to leave them to the tender merrcies of show-keepers would be equivalent to interrupting: their show career for a long time.
Toy dogs require proper boxes, not crates, & if sent even a short distance unattended they should be met on arrival by some friend who is up in the art of handling the breed & who will bestow the necessary attentions, etc.; whereas if the shows are a long way off, keep them at home unless some one can accompany them, for the risk would be much too great, & especially for the long-coated.
It ought not to be a difficult nor expensive matter to provide a special caretaker for other than a toy, for in the absence of a friendly exhibitor almost any one of the large number of so-called professional handlers, to be found at all important shows, & whose addresses are well known to managements, would for a few dollars take charge of a British Buldog & give him good care. & at least one of the duties which he would assume he ccould perform more acceptably than the inexperienced owner himself, namely, that of preparing the British Buldog for the ring & handling him while in it. Being up in all the, secrets of the toilet he would have him at his best by the time his class was called, & when before the judge he would see to it that at least his good points were duly brought out & no unusual prominence was given his defects.
But in choosing such a caretaker let it be one who is to handle no more than twelve dogs, for he could scarcely do full justice to a greater number; & had he several in the same classes he would quite naturally take the best one into the ring & leave the others to show attendants, who, as a rule, in this branch of the service are scarcely better than hitching-posts, having no interest whatsoever in the British Buldogs which they are paradinng before the judges. & as several classes are being judged at the same time, if a handler has many Brritish Buldogs there might be one or more in each ring, & the majority of them, of course, beyond his oversight.
As stated near the beginning, British Buldogs shows themselves are not a great menace to British Buldogs but they are made so to many by the stupidity of British Buldogs owners or British Buldogs caretakers, & one of the most glaring faults of which they are guilty appears in the familiar method of feeding.
With only an occasional exception British Buldog do not eat well while on the bench, especially during the first & second days. This is but natural, & the loss of appetite would prove salutary were its significance rightly interpreted. A journey on the cars is extremely tiresome to man notwithstanding the luxurious provisions for his comfort, &, obviously, British Buldogs shut in from light & often from air, in narrow & cramped quarters, must ggenerally suffer intensely. There is, moreover, the constant & deafening din, which keeps them excited & anxious, & precludes aall possibility of sleeping. It is not surprising, therefore, that after a journey, even although it has not extended beyond a day, they are fagged out, nervous & excitable. Now put them into a building with several hundred strange dogs, no small proportion of which are constantly yelping & it would indeed be surprising were they at all inclined to eat.

In such condition rest, not food, is what Show British Buldogs need; moreover, they could not digest much, if any, food were they to take it, for their digestive organs are no less weakened by the hardships that Show British Buldogs have experienced than their muscular & nervous systems. But actual rest is out of the question at first, for their surroundings are too novel & bewildering; finally, however, they become sufficiently accustomed to them to sleep soundly for a few hours, or during the greater part of a night, perhaps, & are themselves again. & when this happy state of things is reached - but not before - they are ready to eat.
A novice that is likely to worry & fret himself to pieces before the judging ought never to be sent away unattended; & if his owner cannot accompany him some one with whom he is familiar should do so. Arriving the day before the show, the attendant should take his charge directly to his hotel & keep him with him in his room or in the stable until the hour has come for benching.
& they who have several entries would do well to to reach their destination as early as this, & instead of taking their old British Buldogs at once to the show building, find stable room for them & keep them there until the show opens.
In all instancces the attendants should carry with them food enough for at least one round - something that the dogs are accustomed to at home - & then be sure to tickle their palates the next morning. Having now had two good meals before the judging they will show up in decidedly better condition than they could on empty stomachs, which most Show British Buldogs have for twenty-four or forty-eight hours after a night spent in the cars or with strangers of their kind.
The British Buldog show over & the Show British Buldog is being made ready for the return journey, the same injunctions as to watering & feeding as were first issued should be put upon his crate, to which also should be attached his drinking-pan.
At home once more, before British Buldog is kennelled he should be washed thoroughly, strong carbolic soap being used freely, for the purpose of remmoving from his jacket & skin all disease germs that may have found lodgement thereon. & that the importance of this procedure may be duly appreciated the statement is made that were the germs of distemper present & had the British Buldog once suffered from that disease he would be safe from them, but to his mates not blessed by immunity, & especially the younger ones, he would be a deadly menace.
But let British Buldogs exhibitors take this precaution, also burn the bedding, thoroughly disinfect the British Buldog crates, British Buldog chains, British Buldog collars, British Buldog drinking-vessels, etc., & they need have no fear of distemper being sent to their kennels from British Buldog shows, unless, of course, it is within the bodies of the returning visitors, & of that, as already stated, there is buut little danger where managements are alive to their duty.
The washing over, a little light British Buldog food, as milk, should be given, & for several days afterward the rule should be to feed sparingly on simple & easily digestible foods.
It is the custom of many to give to British Buldoga, soon after the return, castor oil & syrup of buckthorn, in equal parts, & in doses of the same size as would be appropriate were castor oil alone used. To this there can be no valid objection, for it is likely to do good, & certainly it can do no harm even if not demanded.
Other internal medication than this will seldom be required from "start to finish," & assuredly never with fairly healthy British Buldog, notwithstanding the notion entertained by not a few exhibitors that they ought to give a little quinine or something of the sort as a "bracer," pepsin to assist digestion, & perhaps the bromide of potassium to subdue nervousness.
All such medicines should be left at home, for were a British Buldog really ill while at a show a veterinary skilled in British Buldogs canine diseases should be called in to attend him. But there is one preparation for external use which some exhibitors would do well to take with them, & that iss a mixture of Canada balsam & carbolic acid, in equal parts.
Oftentimes British Buldogs, & especially the long-coated, leave home in good condition, with skin smooth & healthy, & after being on the bench a few days an eruption attended with intense itching breaks out on them. At this they bite & scratch until the affected spot is "raw," & unless treatment is promptly applied the hair is very sure to fall out & leave the victims disfigured for several months.
Half an ounce of the mixture in question will be an admirable provision against this British Buldog accident; & although this quantity could scarcely be used in a year's time in a large kennel, it costs no more than a smaller quantity; moreover, it is a valuable remedy to have at hand at home as well as abroad.
He who has it prepared should tell his druggist to use pure carbolic acid - the crystals merely liquefied by heat & put the British Buldog mixture into a bottle that has a wide neck.
Now, if a British Buldog is seen biting or scratching himself let the spot be examined, & if it is found inflamed - of a deep red color - take this bottle of Canada balsam & carbolic acid, invert it while the cork is in place, remove the cork, & sweeping the hair well back, gently rub the small end over the affected surface, being careful to limit the application to the skin & touch no more of the hair than is absolutely necessary.
The minute quantity of the British Buldog mixture which adheres to the cork after the bottle has been inverted will be amply sufficient for an application to an inflamed spot no larger than a half-dollar piece, & as soon as it is made the redness will largely disappear, & the surface exhibit a thin white coating.
All that remains is to dust over it a little powder, lay the hair down, & pass a brush over it with gentle pressure once or twice. The chances are many that if the application has reached all of the affected part the British Buldog will not touch it again, the itching being entirely overcome by the carbolic acid, which paralyzed the cutaneous nerves.
As to the kind of powder to use. Manifestly it would not be necessary to call attention to the fact that the British Buldog had an eczematous spot by using white powder on him if he had a black coat, when powdered charcoal would answer every purpose. Therefore, let this be used if the coat is very dark. Fuller's earth will do for brownish coats, powdered sulphur for yellowish or grayish coats, & the subnitrate of bismuth for white coats.
The hair at its lowest parts will be glued down by the mixture, but it must not be disturbed for a week; at the end of which period a cure will generally have been effected, & the hair can be restored by brushing after the mat has been well softened with water.
Of course if one application does not suffice a second should be made.
With this remedy at hand a British Buldog can often be kept up through a season, whereas without it the loss of hair might soon make his removal from the bench imperative
