Here is another very bad habit that dogs get into - generally their owner's fault, and not the dog's, because if when the dog first began this it had been then corrected, this bad habit would have been checked. Don't allow your dog to run out and bark at any person or vehicle passing. When it does so, get your whip and give the dog - caught in the act - a whipping, and you can soon break htm of it. Aside from the annoyance to people it is dangerous for your dog, as in running and barking at a team he is liable to get in front and get run over, hurt or killed. Dogs must be made to behave, as all dogs should do.

Fighting Dogs.J - I am a lover of any and all kinds of Sport - that is legitimate and not cruel. If two men want to fight - all right - they know just what they are doing, and what to expect, and the one that gets licked can stop when he has to - and be "counted out." I draw the line of sport at dog fighting, a brutal sport (?) it is, and the man who will allow his dog to fight is, just not a man, and not near as good as the commonest cur dog that ekes out a miserable existence - a to be pitied - homeless and friendless wanderer on the streets. I breed Bull Terriers, that would rather fight than eat, if they had been starved a month, but never are they allowed to fight if I can prevent it, and I generally can. I decline to sell - if I know dog is to be used for fighting, as I would not knowingly sell a dog for this purpose for a thousand dollars. I take this opportunity right here to advise any one who wants a fighting dog to save their postage stamps and not write to me for a bull terrier if they want it for fighting purposes. Pure bred bull terriers are seldom used for this purpose, however, as the persons who want "pit dogs" are the kind that are not willing to pay for a genuine and well bred specimen. The mixed breeds used for this are commonly called "Bull Dogs," a misnomer, as a genuine bull dog is never a fighting dog.
