THE COUNTRY DOG

The country dog leads a more natural life than either his city or suburban relatives. He has plenty of space and opportunity to run off energy. Most of the time, the country dog can be turned outdoors with small risk of his getting into trouble. All in all, the country dog enjoys an existence that is fairly close to that of his early ancestors.

But it must not be supposed that all one has to do with the country dog is to turn him out and forget about him. The country dog owner still has responsibilities toward the dog and neighbors. Country dogs should certainly be taught the basic commands. If a country dog is to serve a special purpose on the farm, such as a herd or stock dog, he will need specialized training.
