Originally published in 1931. Probably the best book ever published on this subject. The author was a well known hunting man and breeder of Sealyham terriers. The well illustrated contents include: Historical References - Using Terriers with Foxhounds - Attributes of a Good Working Terrier - Opinions and Yarns - Hunt Terriers in the USA - In India - Hunting in China - On Earth Stopping and Artificial Earths - Question of Pedigree - Question of Coats - Breeders Opinions - Otterhound Packs - A Day with Border Terriers and Otterhounds - Otter Hunting with Terriers - The Rev. Jack Russell and his Terriers - The Old English Black and Tan Terrier - The Border Terrier - The Fox Terrier - Lakeland, Fell or Patterdale Terrier - Norwich or Trumpington Terriers - Scottish Terriers as Workers - The Sealyham Terrier - Training Terriers for Underground Work - Fox and Badger Digging - How to Dig and Take Foxes and Badgers - How to Work Bassetts - Badger Digging - Rats, Stoats, Hares and Rabbits - Boar Hunting with Terriers - Big Game Hunting with Terriers - Breeders - Clubs etc. Many of the earliest dog and hunting 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.
