BULLDOGDOM BY A. G. STURGEON A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT.
Originally published in 1920, this extremely rare early work on the
Bulldog is both very expensive and very hard to find in its first
edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text
and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author
was a highly respected breeder of the day. The book's 188 pages cover
all aspects of the Bulldog. Beginning with the history of the breed, it
moves on to discuss buying, breeding, feeding and showing amongst many
other topics. The book is illustrated throughout with the lovely line
drawings of R. WARD BINKS, and contains a double-page spread of an
original pedigree document. There is a "Standard description of the
correct appearance and the several points in detail of a perfect
Bulldog" The final chapter features over 40 photographs of champion
Bulldogs of the day, a full descriptive write-up of each dog and their
pedigrees. Also included in the text are a number of period adverts for
dog products featuring Bulldogs. This is a fascinating read for any
Bulldog enthusiast or historian of the breed but also contains much
information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the
earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s
and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE
DOG BOOKS are reprinting these classic works in affordable, high
quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork
