The Greyhound Its History, Points, Breeding, Rearing, Training and
Running (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic)Dalziel, Hugh Originally
published in London 1886, this rare early work on the Greyhound is both
expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have
now republished it using the original text and illustration. The author
was a highly respected expert on dogs who wrote several important breed
books. He was also Kennel Editor of The Bazaar. The book contains six
detailed chapters on: - History of The Modern Greyhound. - Coursing. -
Breeding. - Rearing. - Training. - Waterloo Cup Winners from 1836 -
1886. In addition VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have also added a significant amount
of extra material gleaned from other early writings on greyhounds. There
are two extra chapters added, one written by distinguished dog writer,
Vero Shaw, and the other by the noted dog researcher and historian,
James Watson. Both chapters contain much further detail on the
development of the greyhound and also a wealth of superb black amp white
illustrations and photographs of famous dogs of the day. This is a
fascinating read for any Greyhound enthusiast or historian of the breed,
but also contains much information that is still useful and practical
today. Chuse the Greyhound pied with black and white: He runs more swift
than thought or winged flight. 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
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork
