Again, with very hard-worked hunting dogs a break- fast has only proved in some cases a source of indigestion and diarrhoea. But, in any case, dogs should never be hunted or violently exercised just after a meal. It has been proved that in such cases food may remain for hours undigested in the stomach, the animal's energies being used up, especially by the muscular system. Dogs may be allowed such exercise as they will them- selves take in play just after a meal, or very soon after, at all events. The feeding of toy dogs, on account of their delicacy of constitution and unnatural mode of life, requires special care. Meat must he sparingly given, yet not absolutely withheld. Milk and its various preparations with eggs, may be well substituted, with stale bread, biscuits, etc. When only a single dog is kept, as is perhaps usually the case, table scraps make an excellent fare, given twice a day in moderation, but avoiding rich gravies and pastry except in small quantity. In the large majority of cases the family dog is fed too often and too much, and were it not that he is generally a h^rdy mongrel, the results would be more frequently manifest in skin disease and other troubles. Rice is an excellent staple, when/well boiled, for toy dogs that are poor feeders. When dogs are allowed many bones of a kind,that can be masticated and swallowed, they are apt to become constipated, owing to the excess of lime, etc., forming in- soluble 8<Mps in the intestine. Errors in feeding are responsible for more derange- Kl^^^.
