The toy breeds - Pekingese, Pomeranian, Toy Spaniel and their kin - are the little companion dogs bred purely for the pleasure of their company. In The Up-To-Date Toy Dog, Lillian C. Raymond-Mallock sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.
First published in 1924, Lillian C. Raymond-Mallock's account sets the toy dog'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 toy dog owners, breeders and breed historians.
This edition features:
- Traces the origins and history of the toy dog.
- 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.
