Originally published in 1897 this was one of the rarest early monographs on this noble breed. The illustrated contents include: Early History of the Irish Greyhound - The Wolf Hunting Greyhound - The Nineteenth Century Claimant - Descent of the Modern Wolfdog - Hounds and Hunting in Ancient Ireland, etc. 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.
