Book description
THE MODERN WIRE HAIRED FOX TERRIER - ITS HISTORY, POINTS amp TRAINING
BY LEONARD E. NAYLOR A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT. Originally
published in 1933, this extremely rare early work on the Wire Haired Fox
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 of the day. The book's 144 pages cover all aspects of
the Wire Haired Fox Terrier. Begining with the history of the breed, it
moves on to discuss buying, breeding, feeding and showing amongst many
other topics. There is a "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 Wire
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. CHAPTERS INCLUDE: - I. -
