A concise handbook that surveys numerous dog breeds, outlining origins, physical standards, temperament, uses, and points scales for judging; it provides breed-by-breed descriptions and typical colors and measurements, illustrated with half-tone images and marginal sketches. Practical guidance covers selection of puppies and adult dogs, daily care and management, treatment protocols for common illnesses, and feeding and conditioning for exhibition. Appendices supply technical terminology and a breeders’ directory to assist novices. The tone is practical and aimed at owners of one or two dogs, simplifying more complex kennel literature for lay readers.
Champion Scottish Leader.
Origin, Uses, and * Scale of Points are the same as the rough-coated variety, with the exception of the coat, which should be very dense, broken-haired, lying smooth, tough without being rough to the touch, with thighs slightly bushy.
The tail at root is covered with longer and denser hair than on body, the hair gradually growing shorter at the tip; the tail is bushy, but has no feather.
