Sporting Terriers - Their History, Training and Management
About this book
This book contains a detailed guide to terriers as used for sport, with chapters on their history, selection, breeding, training, general management, and more. Profusely-illustrated and full of timeless, practical information, "Sporting Terriers" is highly recommended for modern terrier owners and breeders, and it would make for a useful addition to allied collections. Contents include: "Ancient and Mediaeval Earth Dogs", "The Tudor and Stuart Period", "Terriers and Terrier Work of Our Own Times, With a Description of All the Modern Sporting Terriers", "Qualities Which go to Make a Good Working Terrier", "The Fox", "The Badger", "The Otter", "Equipment for Badger - Digging", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on working terriers.
