Description

DOG BREAKING - A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE TRAINING AND MANAGEMENT OF SHOOTING DOGS. By "Wildfowler." (Lewis Clements) A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT Originally published in London 1915, this scarce early work on Gundog Breaking (Training) is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and illustrations, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author was a well known sportsman and writer who was commissioned to write a series of articles on gundog training for the "Shooting Times and British Sportsman." These were so well received, that by popular demand he condensed these into "Dog Breaking." which was then published with the addition of numerous photographs and illustrations of various Gundog breeds and their work. Ninety pages contain detailed chapters on: : Puppyhood Education. Pointer and Setter Field Breaking. Field and Covert Spaniel Breaking. Water Spaniel Breaking. Retriever Breaking. Training a Keepers Night Dog. Points of Sporting Dogs. This is a fascinating read for any Gundog enthusiast or shooting man and contains much information which is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
