Inhaltsangabe
This book is about sporting terriers, that much-loved, quintessentially British, quite admirable group of dogs, favored for centuries by the more humble type of hunter. Sporting Terriers is not a manual covering training, grooming, nutrition, and dog care; it is a celebration of terriers' contribution to the sporting scene, an examination of their form, their function, and their future, in an increasingly urban society. Painstakingly researched and brimming with information, it covers the emergent terrier breeds and foreign ones, as well as the long-established pedigree breeds of the show ring.

This is an interesting and useful new work by Colonel David Hancock (Heritage of the Dog, Bullmastiffs - A Breeder's Guide, etc.). Hancock examines the current state of terrier breeds in the light of where they came from. He then examines the direction many breeds are taking for the future, and considers a number of what he terms emergent breeds. Underlying the discussion throughout is the author's huge, life-long experience. A good book which has much to say which is original and useful. . Artikel-Nr. 26054
