Running Dogs - Or, Dogs That Hunt By Sight - The Early History, Origins,
Breeding & Management Of Greyhounds, Whippets, Irish Wolfhounds,
Deerhounds, Borzoi and Other Allied Eastern Hounds
Book description
A fascinating selection of early writings on the running dog or sight
hound. Two hundred well illustrated pages deal with history, origins,
breeding, management, sport, showing, etc. Most of this compilation
dates from the early 1900s and is sourced from first editions of rare
dog books of that period. Breeds discussed are The Greyhound and Allied
Eastern Hounds - The Whippet - The Borzoi - Deerhounds - Irish
Wolfhounds - Prairie Longdogs - etc. Many of the earliest dog books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are
republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
