BULLDOGDOM BY A. G. STURGEON A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT.
Originally published in 1920, this extremely rare early work on the
Bulldog is both very expensive and very hard to find in its first
edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original
text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series.
The author was a highly respected breeder of the day. The book's
188 pages cover all aspects of the Bulldog. Beginning with the
history of the breed, it moves on to discuss buying, breeding,
feeding and showing amongst many other topics. The book is
illustrated throughout with the lovely line drawings of R. WARD
BINKS, and contains a double-page spread of an original pedigree
document. There is a "Standard description of the correct
appearance and the several points in detail of a perfect Bulldog"
The final chapter features over 40 photographs of champion Bulldogs
of the day, a full descriptive write-up of each dog and their
pedigrees. Also included in the text are a number of period adverts
for dog products featuring Bulldogs. This is a fascinating read for
any Bulldog 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 reprinting these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork
