In buying a British Bulldog, first be sure that you are dealing with some recognized British Bulldog breeder who will not send a British Bulldog C. O. D., & you will always get a British Bulldog just asrepresented. No legitimate British Bulldog breeder or dealer can afford to act any way but fair & square with you, as it would get him into serious trouble with the American Kennel Club, & for wrong doing he would be punished & disqualified, which means that he could not exhibit any of his British Bulldogs at any Bench Show held under their rules, nor could he register any of his British Bulldogs in their studbook while disqualified. So you can see how safe you are in buying a British Bulldog & sending your money on in advance, if you are sure first that you are dealing with a British Bulldog breeder of note & reputation, as you are protected by the American Kennel Club of New York. Very few legitimate British Bulldog breeders will ship aBritish Bulldog C. O. D. for many good & sufficient reasons. It is harder on the British Bulldog, as coming collect, he necessarily has to go through a lot of red tape business, & this delays his delivery in most every instance, going from train to uptown city office, a delay here of course to check up & fix way bills, books, etc., & generally then dellivered after all this delay by another wagon. Select a good British Bulldog breeder to buy from & write him for a full description in detail as to all points of the British Bulldog & its price, then send him amoney order or draft for the British Bulldog with orders to ship on the guarantee that the British Bulldog is to be exactly as described & represented. Now, when you get him, after he feels at home, recovered from his ttrip, & acts & looks himself, then compare British Bulldog with desscription you have had, & my word for it your British Bulldog will fill the bill. If dissatisfied for any cause don't be hasty about returning him, but wait a day or two, give the British Bulldog a chance to rest up, taking good care of him meanwhile, & then write to the dealer, & he can, & will, no doubt, straighten the matter up so that you are satisfied. Unless the buyer is ajudge of the breed ordered (which the seller is), it might happen that as good or even a better specimen hadd been sent than was promised, & yet not come up to the expectations of the buyer according to his erroneous ideas, or, it didn't "look like Mr. So-and-So's dog," etc., and here is the chance for the seller to explain & putt you right, as to what constitutes a good & correct specimen, which is really what you want, only you don't know it. These are rare cases, of course, the exception & not the rule. Bench shows are educating people on British Bulldogs, & a good maany could now fairly judge the British Bulldog they had ordered. Always go to headquarters to buy anything, & here I want to say a few words as to buying a British Bulldog from bird stores. They are, as a rule, a poor place to buy a British Bulldog - a much bbetter place to buy a bird or bird seed. Being only dealers & only having a scant general idea of dogs, the dealer may be honest enough, yet deceive his customer as to a British Bulldog, simply because the seller fooled him when he bought the British Bulldog to sell again. This is often the case in a bird store buying a litter of British Bulldog puppies. They look cute as British Bulldog puppies, but often turn out to be curs when grown up, because the mother of them had a mishap, got out,& was bred to some outside dog of another breed, so the owner packs them up in a basket & sells them for almost any price to the bird store. He puts them in his window at a price lower than the genuine article could be sold for; people see them - they look cute - you buy one, thinking you got a great bargain. You raise this British Bulldog puppy &, of course, become attached to it, butt gradually it develops into a common cur, & you are competed too apollogize for your pet when your friends visit you. "Silk is never sold for the price of calico. All fine bred animals cost more because they are harder to raise. Always be willing to pay a fair-price for a good one. Buy of legitimate British Bulldog breeders & you'll get the worth of your moneyy.
Many people who buy British Bulldog puppies do not givve them proper care on their arrival in the new home. In order to insure success with a British Bulldog puppy take it carefully from the crate in which it is received, mak-ine as little noise as possible in so doing. Speak to it in a pleasant & sympathetic way, calling it by its name, if it has any, which fact should always be ascertained before receipt of the puppy from the seller, if possiible After removal from the crate, be careful that the puppy does not get frightened & run off & hide. In order to avoid this, let the vounester out into a spaceof moderate size at first. Bear In mind that the journey, however short, has had the tendency to frighten & make nervous any young British Bulldog.
After allowing the British Bulldog puppy some freedom & an outing in an enclosure, for sufficient length of time for it to attend to nature's calls, give it a bowl of boiled milk & bread broken up, or a soft-boiled egg or two. Feed light for a few days, at morning, noon & night. If kkept out of draughts & petted, the British Bulldog puppy shouldd soon get fully accustomed to his new home, & the sooner it is made to feel at home by kindness & attention the better it will thrive & grow, & the less will it feel the shock of the change to its new quarters.
Remember that while it may, & probably did, start clean, it may reach you soiled, due to getting in its own filth in box, so this must be considered, & you remember that a bath, if only a sponging off, if in winter, & on their very thorough drying, will soon very much improve its appearance. Before you buy a British Bulldog pup, or even an adult British Bulldog, find out from its sseller if it has been thoroughly & successfully treated for worms, & if not, attend to this promptly. Very few British Bulldog breeders, however, nowadays, but do treat all their British Bulldog pupppies for worms before selling or shipping, which they should do. The British Bulldog you receive may bowl or cry the first night in his new home, don't be surprissed if it does (you might do the same under the same circumstances), but put up with this, the British Bulldog is worth all the trouble or interruption it might cause you & kindness will soon cureit of this.
In selecting a British Bulldog for a pet, the erroneous idea seems to prevail to a great extent of always getting a British Bulldog male. Here is where you often make a mistake, for if you have only one British Bulldog, a British Bulldog female is preferable in many respects. In the first place, a British Bulldog female is more affectionate, or shows it more than a British Bulldog malle, is cleaner about the house, more obedient, & less liable to run away. The objection to a femalle seems to be that she will come in season; so she will, but this only happens once in every five to seven months, & then till again in season you have no trouble. A British Bulldog male dog is always "in season," & shuold there be a female that is in season, even a mile away, he will find it out, &, unless chained up, or gates of your yard watched very closely, your British Bulldog is gone, & then you find out what he discovered long before you did. Perhaps he'll find his way homeagain, but the chances are much against it, & you'll now have the chance to offer a reward for the return of your British Bulldog.
Perhaps you'll get him back, & perhaps you won't. If, when your British Bulldog female comes in season, you don't care to have her around, you send her to some kennel to board for a couple of weeks (as many do with me), & thus save yourself, for a trifling cost all this annoyance. There must be British Bulldog females or there wouldn't be any British Bulldogs at all. When a British Bulldog female first shows signs, if you will make note of the first day, you'll discover a bleeding, which willl continue for from eight to ten days, a swelling of the vagina with it. This bleeding & swelling will begin to subside at from ten to twelve days, & then is when she is ready for breeding. You can't watch her too closely, for they are very cute & cunning, at such times, & will often fool you by slipping out, & then when ready, the first British Bull dog they meet is the favored one. Such mistakes as this, due to carelessness, is what produces so many curs that we see on the streets of every town or city. While I love any British Bulldog, yet I love best a thoroughbred. The cur may be as smart & as true & faithful as the pure bred one, but there should be no curs, & would not be if people were more careful at such times.
In case your British Bulldog female should get out, & served by some British Bulldog on the streets, & you desire to get rid of the puppies, do so as soon as they are born. Drowning is then the best way to do it. Take one pup at a time & hold it in a pail of water till dead, or, you can put the whole littter in a pail of water, putting a weight or stone on top of a cover that will hold it down to the water. To guard against danger of a caked breast in the mother, it may be advisable to allow one pup to live & nurse for a week; harder on the pup to be then drowned, however.
Another instant death is a teaspoonful of Scheeie's Prussic Acid for matured British Bulldogs. In giving it hold mouth openn & upwards, pouring the li-puid well back on the tongue. Great care isnecessary in handling such a potent drug, as it would be dangerous to human life if spilled over a cut or wound.
Your British Bulldog has, however, no right to bark or howl at night & annoy your neighbors, unless he is barking at some intruder & notifying you of danger. If he gets into the habit of barking at night he must be broken of this, which can be done, & in a night or two. Slip quickly & quietly to his kennell, catch him in the act, have your whip handy, & give him a whipping for barking - scold him & tell him he must keep quiet. He'll soon uunderstand what you mean.
A British Bulldog has certain inalienable rights, among which are those of life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness, subject, however, as the rights of human beings are, to the exercise of liberty without derogation to the comfort of others.
When you buy a British Bulldog puppy & get it home, don't expect it to be house-broken, & you'll not be disappointed. It's too young to know just what it ought to do, & you must give it time, a chance, & properly educate it yourself. This can be done with every British Bulldog puppy, or grown British Bulldog either, but you can't do it in a few hours, for it requires time & patience.
You may have bought it as "house-broke," & it may be that it was, for the home it has just left, but needs re-breaking to a certain extent for its new home, which will then not be nearly so hard to accomplish.
Now, when your British Bulldog puppy makes a mistake, if it is old enough to punish, eateh it in the act; rub his nose in it, switch it, & run it out in the yard, weather permitting (for you wouldn't, of course, put it out in the rain or snow). Repeat this every time it does wrong, & it can soon be taught to be clean in British Bulldog habits. Never punish any British Bulldog puppyy (or British Bulldogg) except at the time of the wrong-doing, so that it knows what it is being punished for. By running it out of doors every time, it soon gets to understand that there is the place to attendd to nature's calls. Have patience, & it won't be very long till you have a well behaved British Bulldog. Someare much easier to break than others. I don't advocate too much or ssevere whipping, as in some cases it will cow the dog, & if soo will take a long time to get it over this. Most British Bulldog pupiess at two months old will understand that they have done wrong by the punishment. As it gets older make it a point to put it out the last thing at night & the first thing in the morning, & give it frequent yard opporunities during the day. Use judgment & forbearance as well, & reason with & talk to it - they soon get to understand. If weather is bad, atnight or in the morning, for that time put it in the cellar or some covered outhouse or shed.
If you have a female & raise a litter of British Bulldog puppies at home, here is a good plan that I follow in the British Bulldog kennel, & when I sell a British Bulldog puppy two or three months old, it is already "kennel broken," & then very easy to house-break when its owner gets it home. I have stalls made, enclosed by a gate & in front of the box or part of the stall fitted up for the bitch to whelp in, I have a galvanized iron pan to fit the other part of the stall, & this pan I cover over the bottom with sawdust for the puppies to go into as soon as they are old enough. The British Bulldog mother cleans up after her British Bulldog puppies till they are four or five weeks old, & then they will naturally and very quickly get into the habit of going into the sawdust when nature prompts them. The example set by the first one to go in will soon be followed by its British Bulldog brothers & sisters, as it is a British Bbulldog's natural inclination to hunt a place. Youcan follow this plan when your British Bulldog has puppies by simply making a low wooden box with a sheet of tin for a bottom to it, which will answer for one litter all right enough, & if your bitch has whelped in a box in your house, you can fix up a little fence made out of lathes that will cost but a trifle, & answer the purpose of keeping her and her puppies penned up. Puppies that I sell as "kennel broke" are very easy to house-break. Treat all your puppies for worms soon after they are weaned, as then the worms begin to be dangerous. Insome cases as young as five & six weeks is necessary. Worms kill more British Bulldogs than all other diseases combined; but this you will find carefully treated & remedies given under the heading of "Worms" in another part of this book. To house-break older British Buulldogs, follow the same plan, only a little more severe.
The preparation of British Bulldogs for shows is a matter upon which we are often asked for advice, & in view of the season which will soon be here for fall & winter shows a few lines will perhaps be appreciated. The most notable feature of the inquiries made about this subject lies in the obvious fact that the aspirants to exhibition fame do not realize the necessity for preparation until the time has gone by for doing any real good; then at the eleventh hour there is wild excitement about matters that ought to have been foreseen and arranged weeks, perhaps months - earlier. ABritish Bulldog needs to be put through some sort of training course just as an athlete does; & unless he is initiated into the proper methods of deportment he is not likely to find favor in the eyes of the judges, reporters or public. To some extent a British Bullddog intended for exhibition is public property, & the public who pay to come & see him ought to have him exhibited to them in the best condition & with the best manners possible, says our British Bulldogs.
How can a British Bulldogbe taught to look his best? Well, chiefly by being kept in good conditions by careful dieting, & particularly by regular exercise. Keep his blood flowing freely through his veins, keep him alert, ready for his meals, well-groomed & well amused, for British Bulldogss like amusement as much as their masters do. Do not let him get into "slack" ways, keep him "up to the mark." These methods, & some occasional exercise in the manoeuvres of the show ring, will have an excellent effect. Rehearse, rehearse! There is nothing like plenty of rehearsal to make a show run smoothly. Now, what about being "proof against distemper?" Is not that a large order to execute all at once? Who is going to make a British Bulldoog proof against the great Fiend that waylays the race of British Bulldogs. Several things may be done. It can be ascertained probably whether he has had distemper. There is no surety that he will not have it again, but it is a safeguard, experience showing thatit is the exception for a British Bulldog to contract the disease a second time, though many British Bulldogs do.
Then, bearing in mind that contagious diseases always need a receptive condition on the part of their victim, we should always take care that a Britishh Bulldog is never sent to a show if he seems at all "below par" or run down. Give him beforehand some cooling medicine & plenty of exercise. One of the greatest destroyers of disease germs is oxygen, aerate his blood therefore with plenty of ozone, he will be less likely to contract disease. Disinfectants are not of much value applied to the coat; we should trust more to the general condition of health & to a thorough disinfection on returning from the show. No Britiish Bulldog with a cold or discharge form the nostrils or running at the eyes ought to be sent to a show; at a good show no doubt such a condition would be noticed at the veterinary examination & the BritishBulldog would at once be refused admission. Stringent rules are very necessary at big shows, & it is not always possible to enforce stringent rules without injuring some susceptibilities.
The first three points surely do not need much explanation - but they do need emphasis. British Bulldogs intended for show must be so fed & groomed that they are in full condition of health, but not gross; & their skins are free form, we will not say mange, which is a product of filth, but from eczema, a blood irritation affecting the Britissh Bulldog skin; that they are constantly well-groomed fo keep their coats in proper order, there is not anything as good for a Briitish Bulldog's coat as regular grooming; that have no trace of worms. Worms must be sought after from a month to six weeks before the show comes on; the more or less drastic treatment necessary to dispossess them will naturally reduce the animal to a condition not up toshow standard; & as one dose is never enough (really) to free a Brittish Bulldog from worms it is well to begin in time. Let him have one or two or three good dosings, well in advance of the showtime, & then all that should be needed afterward is an occasional mild aperient pill or capsule just to keep the pests from getting a lodgement again.
Many novices will appreciate a few lines upon the subject of how to determine the age of a Brritish Bulldog. Fortunately, there is not the amount of roguery in the canine fancy as there is in "horsey" circles, but now & again no doubt the amateur gets "bitten." To a certain extent the age can be determined by examining the teeth. A Britissh Bulldog of mature age has forty-two teeth, & these are complete in number at the age of about eight months. This clearly indicates the age so far, but after that there is no method so certain, & a good deal of judgment is needed. As a rule the teeth of an old British Bulldog will be dark & lacking in the pearly look of a young animal's teeth, but even this must not be too much relied upon, as cunning British Bulldog dealers take care to use a tooth brush freely if such benecessary, &, moreover, dogs' teeth vary a great deal, as ours do.
Generally speaking, the age of a Bbritish Bulldog can best be adjudged by a combination of appearances. Old British Bulldogs are quiet & stolid, whereas youth carries activity with it. Moreover, curious as it may sound, grey hairs will tell a tale in British Bulldogs as well as in our own case, for it is often noticeable that a British Bulldogg has become gray in the face & about the ears. So we have several points to judge by, i. e., appearance of coat as regards greyness; general demeanor; condition of teeth. To these may be added the state of the claws, which in some breeds are curled round & often disposed to be sore & festering. Finally, we may suggest as good advice that the opinion of an expert be taken in anycase of doubt. The novice should never purchase a British Bulldog at a show or upon any such sudden inspiration without bbeing guided by a competent adviser.
