popularity is beginning to wane.

For the city type of home and especially for those who live in apartment
buildings, the following dogs are the most suitable, due to their size and their
adaptability to city life:

Boston bull terriers, French bulldogs, dachshunds, wirehaired fox terriers,
smooth fox terriers, cocker spaniels, Scottish terriers, Irish terriers, the
Pekingese, the Pomeranian, the sealyham, miniature schnauzer, Japanese
spaniel, and the Yorkshire terrier.

For the suburban home, the dogs just listed and the following are the most
suitable breeds:
English and Irish setters, Irish water spaniels, the springer spaniel, Airedale-
terriers, collies, Dobermann Pinschers, German shepherds, Dalmatian
hounds, chowchows, German schnauzer (medium size), pointers, beagle
hounds, Gordon setters, bull terriers, and bulldogs.
For the large estate or farm, the following dogs may be added to those listed
for the suburban home:
Russian wolfhound, Irish wolfhound (the largest of all dogs), St. Bernard,
mastiff, Great Dane, Newfoundland, Labrador retriever, Shetland sheep dog.
If you are in a section where there is considerable hunting each year, the
following hunting breeds may sell well:
Springer spaniels, Irish water spaniels, beagle hounds, rabbit hounds,
coonhounds, deerhounds, foxhounds, Labrador retrievers, English and Irish
setters, pointers, Llewellyn and Gordon setters.
Regardless of the fact that in your locality there may exist a market for the
larger breed of dog such as the St. Bernard, mastiff, Great Dane, etc., the
beginner may do well to cultivate another market in which he can sell the
smaller breeds. The reasons for this are obvious. You need a large amount of
ground to maintain kennels for the larger breeds, and the food bill for these
breeds is an important item in your overhead as you will realize once you
have seen a St. Bernard eat.
Raising dogs naturally entails a great deal of work—kennels must be kept
immaculate to ward off disease, the dogs must be brushed and combed, their
food must be carefully prepared and they must be fed at regular periods.
