The author states in his notes that Nature’s apparent methods, effects and requirement have been extensively dealt with to protect the kennel from drugging, and displacing that by hygienic and dietetic practices. Every important subject has been fully discussed. The simplest language was chosen and needless technical expressions excluded. The illustrations of dogs add value, as they are true to life, and some have the nearest approaches to perfection.
