Such a happy resultis not at all likely, for even were the constitutional infir-mities themselves, of the sire or dam not transmitted, theremust be, almost invariably, passed on to the offspring atleast a predisposition to those infirmities; or, in otherwords, the puppies if not absolutely weakly must be spe-cially liable to have, some time in their lives, the diseaseand weaknesses of their parents.
