Here arje a few of the do's and don't$_that are offered: If undecided as to breed, a visit to a dog show, where a variety of breeds are on exhibit, should prove helpful. If no dog show is being held in the vicinity, visits to local kennels of different breeds will help make up your mind. ^ Don't get a puppy too young -- not under ten or twelve weeks. The younger the puppy, the more caf-e it requires. If you are not sure, the puppy is healthy, insist on a yeter*; inary statement before purchase. $-*0. If you want to be sure the pup is purebred, request a re^i^-, * tration certificate, which should also show a transfer to you 4lf < the new owner. Before taking the pup home, be sure to select a spot in thjft house he will be able to call his own. Place his bed there -- an ordinary box filled with shredded paper will do -- and put near it a toy or rubber ball or bone to help him cut his teeth on and divert his attention from mischievous deeds. "Don't stuff him and don't handle him unnecessarily when you get him home, else you may end up with a sick or dead pup. If you are rerflly wise, you will arrange to have him delivered a few days before or after the Christmas day excitement.
