Originally published in 1933, this extremely rare early work on the
Kerry Blue Terrier is both expensive and 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, exhibitor and judge of Kerry Blue
Terriers. This was the first comprehensive book of the breed to be
written. The book's eighty pages cover all aspects of the Kerry Blue
Terrier. Several of the nine Detailed chapters have been contributed by
other well known experts on the breed. Commencing with the origins and
history of the breed, it moves on to discuss buying, breeding, feeding
and showing, amongst many other topics. There is an illustrated
"Standard description of the correct appearance and scale of points" and
a number of excellent photos of famous dogs of the day. This is a
fascinating read for any Kerry Blue Terrier enthusiast or historian of
the breed and 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 republishing these classic
works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original
text and artwork.
