This superb book of the Fox Terrier was first published in London 1889
and even today remains a classic book of the breed. First editions are
very rare, expensive, and much sought after. Vintage Dog Books have now
republished it, using the original text and the splendid illustrations
by the famous dog artist Arthur Wardle. Rawdon Lee was a celebrated
author of several important dog books and was Kennel Editor of "The
Field." The books one hundred and fifty-seven pages contain seven
detailed chapters on: Old Writers on Terriers. History and Origins.
Terrier Values. Early Shows. Famous Dogs. Ear Dropping and Other
Malpractices. Kennels. Scale of Points. Working and Training.
Wire-haired Fox Terriers. Yorkshire and Devonshire Strains. Rev. John
Russell's Terriers. Breeding and Rearing. Preparing for Shows. List of
Clubs. Etc. This is a fascinating read for any Terrier enthusiast or
historian of the breed, but also contains much information that is still
useful and practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly
those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works
in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
