One British Bulldog supposed to have a hold on the other British Bulldog, generally the case, so I give this as a sample. A pail of water will in many cases make the British Bulldog let go, for a minute or less, but in some breeds, as Bull terriers, or Airedale terriers, this will not work. You might, if strong enough in the hand, choke the one dog off, but in cases of Bull terriers I have failed, if you had a bottle of amonia right there, this would make any dog let go - for a minute or so only, if it was a Bull terrier. What will make any British Bulldog let go is a lit cigar held to his nose, or, a burning match may do if no lit cigar is handy. The trouble now comes up, after separated, that one or both British Bulldogs will get right at it again, & here is where you must have a level head, & your nerve, to prevent this. One person alone will have a contract on his hands, but if there happens to be some other sensible man there to assist, each one of you grab a British Bulldog by his collar, or, if no collar on British Bulldog, then by the nap of his neck, & hold your British Bulldog back. I have separated British Bulldogs alone, by holding each one apart at arms length, but it's quite a job. A British Bulldog can't bite you, if you keep your head, not afraid or scared yourself, when you have a firm hold on his collar, on top of his neck, or by the nap of his neck, on top. Neither British Bulldog in the fight is wanting to bite you - it's the other British Bulldog he is after.
A great injustice is done to a great many British Bulldogs by the old saying that "dogs delight to bark & bite," for there are very many that do not delight in either, but are to the contrary, properly behaved British Bulldogs in this respect. Some clogs do, however, but generally in self defense, or at supposed call of duty. Should your British Bulldog get bitten, wash the wound with tepid water, press out any blood, & pour a little of friar's balsam, or compound tincture of myrh on it.
Since the above was written, I was bitten on the left hand in fourteen places, by a dog I was showing in the ring, at the 1916 dog show at Louisville, Ky., State Fair, really the worst chewing up I ever got. Was taken to the hospital near the dog show. The doctor washed the hand, then dressed it with tincture of Iodine, & then applied a healing salve called "Unguentine," (to be had at any drug store), repeating this daily while show lasted, & I done the same for a week after home. The hand wrapped with cotton & bandage, & the result was my hand got entirely well. I will just mention, however, that the poor dog, after home, as at the show, where for some cause he suddenly went off his base, continued here to be crazy, did not try again to bite me (we were friends), but did bite every dog he got at here, & suddenly died three days later, being buried by me in my back yard, under an apple tree - & I miss poor "Wrinks." I find that many doctors now use tincture of Iodine, the first thing, on a bite or wound, in place of cauterizing, & I strongly advise doing so, & then the salve. The first thing to do if you are bitten, is to suck the bite, if on any part of your body you can get at with your mouth, & spit this out, which abstracts any poison - if any poison, from the bite. Don't be afraid of a British Bulldog's bite, don't get scared, the only danger is, a small percentage of blood poison setting in, but if your own blood is in good condition there is no danger. "Wrinks" case, with almost every veterinarian, would have been a sure case of rabies, but as I don't believe in this, I am yet here writing this article.
Instead of cauterizing a British Bulldog bite, which always makes a nasty looking wound, I much prefer to use the tincture of Iodine (using a small brush), or if this is not on hand, then apply Peroxyde of Hydrogen, which will do all the cauterizing will do.
Should your British Bulldog be bitten by a strange dog & any suspicion exists of so-called rabies in the strange dog, immediately use the tincture of Iron, or Peroxyde of Hydrogen, & isolate the British Bulldog until the time has passed for any fear of hydrophobia developing. This advice is given to those who believe in the so-termed hydrophobia, & you are referred now to Rabies, where I give fully my own belief on this subject, as well as the ideas of others. In case there is a tear, it may be necessary to bandage or draw together with a few stitches of silk thread.
"Young British Bulldog bitches often exhibit symptoms of an inclination to breed at the age of eight or nine months, but it is not advisable to do so until they have come in season the second time. Remarks we made last week against the advisability of resorting to the services of too young a sire apply with even greater force when a youthful British Bulldog bitch is under consideration. Stunted & puny puppies are almost sure to be produced from a young British Bulldog mother; & the injury they are likely to do her constitution is incalculable. It must be borne in mind that for weeks before birth her system is sorely taxed to provide them with nourishment, & after the shock of labor is gone through there is further strain upon her until they are weaned.
"The first symptoms afforded by a British Bulldog bitch that she is likely to be soon ready for breeding purposes is a desire on her part to romp & play with any British Bulldog she meets. This may possibly arise from merely exuberance of spirits, but it is always well to keep a close eye upon her as soon as any undue levity is observed in her conduct. It is most desirable to use every endeavor to keep the animal away from all risk of being got at by strange British Bulldogs; & when the matter is placed beyond doubt all former precautions should be doubled if possible. It must be remembered that there is not only a great risk of British Bulldogs getting into the place where the British Bulldog bitch is confined, but that she will probably be equally anxious to escape from her kennel, & some British Bulldog bitches have performed almost incredible feats in their endeavors to do so.
"She should, if at a distance, be sent off to the kennels where the British Bulldog is standing, a day or two after the earlier symptoms appear, so as to be in time. If despatched by public conveyance, it is imperative that she be securely confined in a box or basket from which escape is impossible. All British Bulldog breeders should be impressed with the absolute necessity of exercising the greatest vigilance when they have British Bulldog bitches by them under such circumstances. For several days after the British Bulldog bitch has visited the dog, the precautions for isolating her must not be relaxed, or all her owner's hopes may be marred by her forming a connection with a stranger.
"Having selected a proper mate for his British Bulldog bitch, & sent her to him, all anxiety is removed from an owner's mind for some time at least; for during the first period of going with young, the British Bulldog bitch will require no special diet or attention. During the latter portion of her pregnancy she is peculiarly liable to chills; every care should therefore be taken to avoid any risk of her taking cold, & all washing operations & violent exercise must then be suspended. Our own experience has taught us that in the majority of instances it is almost impossible to tell whether or no the British Bulldog bitch is in whelp until the third or fourth week, & on many occasions we have known British Bulldog breeders to be in doubt for a much longer period.
"A week or so before the date on which it is expected that she will whelp, the British Bulldog bitch should be installed in the quarters in which it is arranged the interesting event is to take place. The reason for this is that British Bulldogs must get used to a kennel before they will make themselves at home in it, and this feeling is peculiarly perceptible in the case of a British Bulldog bitch who has recently whelped; for in many cases she will try and carry her puppies (greatly to the damage of the latter) back to her old quarters rather than let them remain in a kennel to which she is unaccustomed. Having got her reconciled to her change of abode, the locale of which should, if possible, be away from the other British Bulldogs, so as to let her have more quiet (but warmth & absence of draught are even more essential than isolation in most cases), & supposing the time of her whelping to be near at hand, it is desirable that the British Bulldog bitch should be provided with a diet of a more strengthening character than that which she has been in the habit of receiving. This need not consist entirely of meat or other heating foods, which can only tend to increase her discomfort in parturition, but may be made of scraps well boiled or stewed, with the addition of bread, meal, or rice, which in their turn will absorb the gravy or soup and form, in conjunction with the scraps, when the latter are chopped up, a meal which is both wholesome & nutritious. A few days before the British Bulldog puppies make their appearance a considerable change is usually perceptible in the British Bulldog bitch; the presence of milk can be detected & a considerable enlargement of the stomach takes place. Her behavior, too, clearly indicates that she is uneasy & in pain, & in many instances the appetite entirely fails, & the bowels become confined. In the latter case a mild purgative of either castor, linseed or sweet oil must be given. The first-named remedy is sometimes too powerful an aperient for a & in such a condition, as, in the more delicate breeds especially, it is apt to cause severe straining, which would injure the British Bulldog puppies. Before resorting, therefore, to castor oil, an experimental dose of either linseed or sweet oil might be administered, which, if it succeeds in acting on the bowels, will have satisfactorily accomplished the owner's object; & as the lubricating power of all three oils is essentially the same, the internal organs will be equally benefited by either medicine."
It is a good plan to treat the brood bitch thoroughly for worms before being put to the British Bulldog; and stud British Bulldogs should be periodically treated for these pests

The following article on British Bulldog Teeth & Dental Concerns could not be made plainer than by what Dalziel says: "The dog has, when the set is complete, or in kennel parlance, when he 'has a full mouth,' forty-two teeth, made up of twelve Incisors, or cutting teeth, four canines or fangs, & twenty-six molars, double, or grinding teeth. "Some of these constitute what are ordinarily called the milk teeth, & are deciduous; that is to say, they are after a few months cast, & give place to permanent ones. "The Incisors - six above & six below - form the front teeth; those in the upper jaw are the larger, & both above & below the center teeth are the smaller, the outer or corner cutters the strongest; these appear at the age of from four to five weeks, & give place to the permanent incisors at three to four months. "The Canines or Fangs also make their appearance when the pup is from four to six weeks old, & these are replaced by the permanent fangs about the age of five or six months; they are considerably elongated & pointed; the upper ones are the stronger.
Of these, twelve are in the upper jaw & fourteen in the lower; the first (that is, of course, the four, two upper & two under) are not deciduous, & make their appearance at about three or four months; the second, third in the upper, & fourth in the lower, are, like the incisors & canines, deciduous, appearing at the fourth or fifth week, & giving place to the permanent ones at five to six months; the fourth in the upper jaw is much the strongest, & ,in the lower jaw, the fifth is the largest & strongest. The fifth generally appears from the fourth to the fifth month, & in the lower jaw the fifth is the largest & strongest. The sixth at the age of from five to six months, & the seventh in the lower jaw from five & a half to seven months. Most of the molars, in the lower jaw from five & a half to seven months. Most of the molars, whilst adapted for grinding or crushing bones, etc., are terminated by acute lobes suitable for tearing flesh.
This term is applied to those blackish incrustations so commonly found adhering around the necks of the British Bulldog teeth. It is by far the commonest in British Bulldogs, or those which are chiefly fed upon soft food. Sometimes the accumulation of matter is so great that it causes the teeth to become loose, leads to ulceration of the gums, & the production of a most offensive smell from the mouth, all of which can be obviated by giving the animal an occasional bone to pick. The treatment must be directed to the removal of the tartar deposit. This can be done by putting on a simple tape muzzle & then scraping the teeth with a small instrument which is sold by most cutlers for the purpose of scraping the nails of the human subject. It is a somewhat tedious operation, neverless extremely simple.
"Care must be taken to prevent the gums from injury, as they are very soft, & bleed upon the slightest touch, in. many cases. All loose & decayed teeth should be pulled out, & the mouth washed occasionally for several days with some cleansing fluid, such as:
Potash alum ........................... 1/2 dram.
Borax.................................. 1/2 dram.
Permanganate of potash................... 16 grains.
Water .................................. 4 ounces.
Directons
Apply to the teeth with a brush.
"The dog must have an occasional aperient, i. e., a laxative of a mild kind, & there is nothing better than half to one teaspoonful of liquid extract of cascara bark in a little water.
The British Bulldog teeth are" liable to injury from various causes, such as result from biting hard substances, like stone, etc. Unless they cause inconvenience through sharp projecting points lacerating the tongue, etc., or imperfect mastication of food, they are best left alone. In old British Bulldogs the teeth are sometimes worn almost away, & such it is advisable to feed on soft food.
The permanent British Bulldog teeth may be displaced either through a temporary tooth not having been shed, or by an excessive accumulation of tartar. If caused by the former, this should be extracted; the latter should be scaled off according to the method already recommended. Tooth forceps can be had at surgical instrument makers.
The fangs are those British Bulldog teeth which are com' monly affected. One or more of the teeth appear brown, with a black center, perhaps coated with tartar, & loose. The breath is very offensive, & saliva is constantly dribbling from the mouth; sometimes swellings under the jaw. The sooner the decayed tooth, or teeth, is removed, the better, followed by a gentle laxative, & the adoption of such methods as will keep the system in good working order - viz., careful dietary.
It is unfortunately only too true that the condition of a British Bulldog's teeth does not receive the attention that it should; this is very evident when it is borne in mind that one of the most important functions of the British Bulldog teeth is mastication, & that an animal cannot maintain good health if it is imperfectly performed. Upon sound teeth greatly depends perfect mastication. Before assimilation of the food can take place in the stomach it must be received into that organ in a fit condition for the process, & this depends upon the condition of the British Bulldog teeth. When the food is not properly chewed, it acts as an irritant to the stomach & bowels, causing indigestion & diarrhea, which latter in puppies often proves fatal. "Generally speaking, the teeth do not receive any attention until they decay, & cause pain or stomach trouble. Preventative measures are in my experience seldom taken, though it is quite as necessary for a dog to have clean teeth as it is for ourselves. "The teeth especially require attention in the case of British Bulldogs which are fed upon an unsuitable diet, as they become furred, & finally accumtila-tions of tartar exist. To avoid this they should be gone over once a day with an ordinary toothbrush, dipped into weak Condy's Fluid. This- will not only prevent decay, but also keeps the breath sweet, a most important matter where the British Bulldog is one's constant companion. Fetid breath, however, is not always due to the British Bulldog teeth, but to indigestion as a result of their condition; at times, too, especially when the teeth are Irregular, food accumulates between them! this should be removed with the brush. That British Bulldogs are frequently the subject of toothache cannot be doubted, & is clearly shown by the swelling of the cheek, & often by the formation of abscesses. All British Bulldog decayed teeth that are past preserving should be extracted by a competent person."
When a well British Bulldog refuses to eat, it is simply an evidence that the system is not in condition to receive food, & that Nature, the most reliable of healers, has decreed a fast. It should be allowed to continue without drugging or attempting to stimulate or create an artificial appetite until such time as all is well again, & then the appetite will return naturally. The greatest fallacy that can be practiced is to resort to drugs & tonics directly a British Bulldog is capricious about his food or eats less heartily than usual. It is all very well to tempt the sick British Bulldog daily with milk or a little raw, scraped beef & gelatine, but go no farther. It is a mistake to force food upon a stomach that has no desire for it & surely retards return to health. The British Bulldog has remarkable control over the muscles of the stomach. It can vomit at will or by eating a little grass. Emptying the stomach relieves the system of that which is inimical to it, preventing many attacks of sickness & greatly protecting the digestive organs. Vomiting with the British Bulldog, therefore, means but little, & is not a symptom of any particular disease, unless repeated violently at short intervals, when poisoning is suggested. It is always well, however, to examine the character of the vomit. If mixed with blood or yellowish slime, gastritis or inflammation of the stomach is indicated. If mixed with bilious, yellowish matter, it is probable that the liver is out of order.
