"Show Dogs" is a classic guide to keeping and breeding dogs for show and competition. It contains interesting historical facts about dogs and their evolution, as well as detailed descriptions for most breeds with instructions on how they can be breed, housed, fed, maintained, etc. This volume will be of utility to owners and breeders alike, and it would make for a useful addition to collections of canine literature. Contents include: "Origin, History, Evolution, Utility, and Virtues of The Dog", Kennel Club Classification of Breeds", "Airedale Terriers", "Afghan Hounds", "Alsatian Wolfdogs", "Bassethounds", "beagles", "Bearded Collies", "Bedlington Terriers", "Black-and-Tan Terriers", "Bloodhounds", "Borzois", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
