ADVICE ON COCKER SPANIEL.
from Mr.. r. L. D., Washington.)
Far be 1t for me to give advice!
However If I can be Of assistance
to a fellow dog owner nothing
would please me more. I am not
professional handler or dealer, q
mere amateur.
You may find that the Rock
Greek Kennel Club sponsors such
an obedience class as you want. If
by chance they do not, your best
bet, if you want perfection, is to con-
tact a professional trainer or some
sucker like myself who, in their
after business hours, will put their
last ounce of energy into the morale
breaking procedure of teaching
"Ffdo" to heel, fetch, stay, etc. For
tunately, I do not have the time, or
my services would be offered!
AS to the matter of the ears be-
ing too long, grooming will take
care of this. Please don't ask me
the exact details of this task as it
takes real artist to groom men,
ber of the canine clan correctly. If
I may be so bold, suggest that you
feed your charge small amount of
egg yolk and some wheat germ.
However, all of these suggestions de-
pend on the age of the subject, and
are, naturally, merely my opinions
If you want the facts, my advice is
to go to your local veterinarian
You say, well, I hate to go to him
because I know so little about ami
mails" Think how your meek lit
the cocker feels, he can't even say
doc! I've got a little pain here.
Your veterinarian is there to helr
you not to make you feel stupid!
P. S. NO! Definitely I do moi
read the Woman's Page! This was
prompted by the little woman who
is an ardent reader of The Star
She and dogs are my pastime MY
pleasure is making them happy)
