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.

Thornfield Knockout.
With the exception of the coat, which should be broken, the origin, uses, and scale of points of this breed are identical with the smooth-coated variety.
The harder and more wiry the texture of the coat is, the better. The dog should not look nor feel woolly, and there should be no silky hair. The coat should not be too long, but it should show a marked difference from the smooth species.
