The Dog In Sport (Hardcover)

Originally published in the 1930's. The author was a well known sportsman with much experience in working with many sporting dog breeds. This fascinating book contains much detailed history and anecdote which will prove of great interest to all who own or hunt with the various breeds. Contents include: The Dawn of the Dog - The Saluki - Foxhounds, Harriers and Beagles - The Chesapeake Bay Dog - The Dachshund - The Greyhound (three chapters) - Coursing Days - The Red Setter - Partridge Days - The Gallant Terrier - Manchester Terriers - The Dog in London Sport - Retrievers - The Spaniel - The Pointer - Deerhounds and Sport in Ireland - The Irish Wolfhound - The Scotch Deerhound - The Sealyham Terrier - Other Terriers and Little Dogs - The Zenith of the Dog. etc. The book contains some forty illustrations. Many of the earliest dog books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
