When you buy a six or eight week old pure bred puppy you have a reasonable idea as to what size the puppy will attain at maâ€" turity, This is hard to determine with a mongrel puppy unless of The question of purebred versus a mixed breed puppy is largely one of personal taste and financial resources. Many large dogs are very gentle but a large dog that tends to be cross is a menace to the neighâ€" bourhood and eventually will bring you heartache and perhaps a law suit for medical bills. If you have allergy | problems in your family your doctor may suggest a Poodle or Schnauzer since these dogs shed very little. Large breeds may also provide a useful service to you if you‘re a hunter or want protection against burglars. However, please rememâ€" ber large dogs require great amounts of exercise and it is un fair to confine them in ‘a small yard or have them chained day after day. QUESTION: I am interested in buying a dog. What steps should I take to insure that I will be happy with my purchase? ANSWER: First you must deâ€" cide which kind of dog is best for your house. If you have a large lot, live in the country or close to a ravine then perhaps you‘ll want to choose a large breed. â€" Table Service â€" Sun. thru Thur. 11 am â€" 1 am Fri. & Sat. 11:30 am â€" 3 am Free Home Delivery 766â€"8008 or 766â€"9888 1221 Weston Road (2 blocks N. of Eglinton) SPAGHETTI HOUSE & PIZZERIA Te‘ Auase 50 Church St., Weston Tips On Buying The Right Kind Of Dog Wood‘s Trucking Co.

ACADIAN RESTAURANT Because Hydro is losing money on apartments, it is suggested that deposits for tenants be raised from $10 to $15. A bylaw to this effect will be drawn up and subâ€" mitted to York council for apâ€" proval. York Hydro is investigating this idea. There are approximately 18,000 home owners of single famâ€" ily dwellings in the borough but probably only. 10,000 will qualify for a return of their deposits. This could add up to $150,000 in refunds. Homeowners in the borough of York who have paid their hydro bills on time for at least 10 years may have their original deposit returned with interest. j If younger the puppy may not be completely weaned and ready to start on solid food and if the puppy is over 3 months of age it will not adapt to your home nearly as well. The most impressionable age for a When you have decided where you‘ll visit call the Kennel to make an appointment to see their pupâ€" pies. You‘ll save yourself a lot of time and driving by calling first and of course you‘ll also make sure that the breeder has time to disâ€" cuss the puppies with you. The best age for a puppy to go to its new home is 6â€"8 weeks. If you decide on a purebred pupâ€" py and you have a friend who can recommend a breeder to you then you‘re set to make a visit to the kennel. If you don‘t know anyone that can recommend a breeder call a veterinarian in your area or the Canadian Kennel Club. Should you decide on a mongrel then visit the local ‘dog pound or the Humane Society. course you are sure of its parentâ€" age. It is true that many pure breeds have inherited health probâ€" lems, example, hip dysplasia in many large breeds and knee cap dislocations in many toy breeds. The incidence of these problems is much lower in puppies of mixed breeding.
