THE BULL TERRIER By Williams Haynes A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC
REPRINT Originally published in 1912, this extremely scarce early
work on the Bull Terrier is both expensive and hard to find in its
first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the
original text as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The
author was a much respected authority on various breeds of dogs,
but favoured the Bull Terrier above all. Written in the author's
own inimitable style, the book's one hundred and thirteen pages
consists of seven detailed chapters: The "White 'Un." - The Bull
Terriers History. - Training the Bull Terrier. - Terriers in
Health. - Terriers When Sick. - The Principles of Dog Breeding. -
Dog Shows and Their Rules. This is a fascinating read for any Bull
Terrier enthusiast or historian of the breed, but also contains
much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of
the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works
in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original

What makes dogs so unique? They are the only species that favour
the company of humans over their own kind. A dog looks at us with a
deep understanding and empathy perhaps greater than our own. In
this charming book of dog photography, Vincent Lagrange records
this treasured intimacy with our four-legged friends. Applying the
techniques of portrait photography, which he learned in his youth
at his father Marc Lagrange's studio, he captures our canine
counterparts in crisp, perfectly illuminated pictures that allow
their own soulful personalities to shine through. Text in English
and German.
Stella is a Saluki, a purebred Arabian Desert princess and somewhat
of a diva. Much to her chagrin, she has fallen into the hands of a
family of infidels and is forced to reside with them and their
revolting common dog. She, on the other hand, dreams of a life
amongst her fellow Bedouin canines, roaming the deserts and hunting
for game. Stella spends her time plotting a regime change, passing
her days in "captivity" by tormenting both the infidels who think
they own her and their dog. This is the diary of a sleek canine
princess, who documents her days with her "owners" and the methods
she employs to torment them. The story takes place over a two-year
period in the home of British ex-patriots living in Saudi Arabia.
This clever novel will take you where you have never gone before.
Living With Infidels: The Diary of a Saluki - A Hound's Tail is a
story you will not soon forget. First-time author Karen Ibbotson
was inspired to write this tale by the crazy antics of her dogs.
Born in North Yorkshire, she currently lives in Saudi Arabia.

"Within what I hope will become this dog-eared work" says Stephen
Poxon, "365 shaggy dog stories are homed with verses of Scripture
to encourage, inform and possibly even amuse. Use them as a dog
might treat a puddle - to gaze upon with curiosity, to dip into, or
to have a jolly good splash around. It might be that a line from a
reflection will lead you towards a deeper concept. It might be that
a thought provides a timely contemplation for the day, relevant to
your circumstances and concerns. A year's worth of delightful
reflections on dogs known and loved, each leading into a
consideration of some aspect of God's character. "It is my prayer,
as a dog devotee who tries to follow God, that these readings bring
reminders of His love. As the seasons change and experiences vary
between good, bad, and indifferent, may our relationship with a
loving Heavenly Father remain a rewarding constant."
