BEAGLE
A
miniature Foxhound, solid and big for his inches, with the wear-and-tear
look of the hound that can last in the chase and follow his quarry
to the death. The Beagle's coat is short and requires minimal grooming.
A regular brushing and bath will help control the shedding process.
No Beagle should be allowed to roam free, as its nose will surely
get it into trouble. Future Beagle owners should be aware that Beagles
are known to bark as part of their hunting heritage.

BOXER
The Boxer is an alert, self-assured,
and fearless dog. The Boxer is a playful and fun-loving dog who
is often called the ''Peter Pan'' of the dog world as they seem
to maintain that youthful exuberance. Instinctively a ''hearing''
guard dog, his bearing is alert, dignified and self-assured. With
family and friends, his temperament is fundamentally playful, yet
patient and stoical with children. Deliberate and wary with strangers,
he will exhibit curiosity but, most importantly, fearless courage
if threatened. However, he responds promptly to friendly overtures
honestly rendered. His intelligence, loyal affection and tractability
to discipline make him a highlydesirable companion.

Cocker
Spaniel
He
has a sturdy, compact body and a cleanly chiseled and refined head,
with the overall dog in complete balance and of ideal size. He stands
well up at the shoulder on straight forelegs with a topline sloping
slightly toward strong, moderately bent, muscular quarters. He is
a dog capable of considerable speed, combined with great endurance.
Above all, he must be free and merry, sound, well-balanced throughout.

French
Bulldog
The
French Bulldog has the appearance of an active, intelligent, muscular
dog of heavy bone, smooth coat, compactly built, and of medium or
small structure. Expression alert, curious, and interested. The
French Bulldog's coat is smooth and short and easy to keep clean.
The French Bulldog is happy in any loving environment. They are
house dogs whose niche in life is to be an adored pet. While principally
bred to be companions, the French Bulldog is remarkably intelligent
and serves as a good watchdog.

Basset
Hound
The
Basset Hound possesses in marked degree those characteristics which
equip it admirably to follow a trail over and through difficult
terrain. It is a short-legged dog, heavier in bone, size considered,
than any other breed of dog, and while its movement is deliberate,
it is in no sense clumsy. In temperament it is mild, never sharp
or timid. It is capable of great endurance in the field and is extreme
in its devotion.

Bulldog
The
Bulldog is revered for his loving disposition and ability to get
along with other dogs. He loves the companionship. The Bulldog's
coat should be brushed weekly, although his facial wrinkles will
need daily cleaning. The general appearance and attitude should
suggest great stability, vigor and strength. The disposition should
be equable and kind, resolute and courageous (not vicious or aggressive),
and demeanor should be pacific and dignified. These attributes should
be countenanced by the expression and behavior.
