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.
