America's own breed, the natty Boston Terrier - the American gentleman - was developed in New England from bulldog and terrier stock as a companion. In The Boston Terrier and All about It, Edward Axtell sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.
First published in 1910, Edward Axtell's account sets the Boston Terrier's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.
Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Boston Terrier owners, breeders and breed historians.
This edition features:
- Traces the origins and history of the Boston Terrier.
- Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
- Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
- Restored from the original text and illustrations.
