Description
This book is about sporting terriers, that much-loved, quintessentially British, quite admirable group of dogs, favoured for centuries by the more humble type of hunter. Sporting Terriers is not a manual covering training, grooming, nutrition and dog care; it is a celebration of terriers' contribution to the sporting scene, an examination of their form, their function and their future in an increasingly urban society.
Features and reviews in Earth Dog, The Field and Fieldsports magazines. Reviews in Kennel Gazette, Dogs Monthly, Our Dogs and Dog Training Weekly magazines.
