Any dog breeder will concede that
to own one or two dogs is lots more
fun than to have to clean up after a
whole kennel full. Any experienced
owner of dogs will agree that to get the
ultimate out of doggy companion

THE ideal time to buy young puppy
is late Spring or early Fall. At
those times of the year the pup can
be kept outdoors a large share of
the time, can be easily house broken
for that reason, can get plenty of sun
shine without getting sunstroke, and
has the best chance of healthy, care

buying pup in the Summertime,
try to get one that was born in the
early Spring and is consequently we'll

Keep him in as cool place as pos

See that he has plenty Of
