About This Book

The manual surveys breed standards and points for gundogs, hounds, terriers, and related types, illustrated with photographs, and outlines kennel management, feeding and conditioning, training, and rules from breed clubs. It provides practical guidance on common ailments, parasites, injuries, minor operations, poisons and remedies, and diagnostic and surgical procedures, plus associations' standards and trial rules to aid breeders, exhibitors, and keepers in maintaining health and breeding sound working dogs.

FOOTNOTES

[1] Liver-coloured flat and wavy coated specimens are not at all uncommon, though not generally preferred.

[2] A moderate degree of development of the Membrana Nictitans (so called Haw) is not only typical of the Clumber, but advantageous. To remove this useful Membrane (unless for surgical reasons) is a cruel and useless procedure, deserving severe condemnation.

[3] The heights of the Crickhowell Harriers are as follows:—Dogs, 17½ to 18½ inches; bitches, 17 to 18 inches.
