Articoli correlati a Gundogs: Their Past, Their Performance and Their Prospects
This book is about gundogs, those ever-willing companions of both sportsmen and discerning dog owners. Gundogs is not a manual covering training, grooming, nutrition, and dog care; it is very much a celebration of the gundog's contribution to the sporting and companion dog scene, an examination of their past, their performance, and their prospects in an increasingly urban society. Painstakingly researched, it covers the well-known recognized breeds and the more obscure ones from overseas, some quite unknown to the public.

Descrizione libro Condizione: new. (Hardcover, 2013). 2013 1st edition. 4to (189 x 246mm). Pp240. Colour & b/w photographs, bibliography. Black boards, spine titled in gilt. Mint new copy in dust-wrapper. The author asks: "how can we save our unfancied native gundog breeds? Do we need a homemade 'hunt-point-retrieve' breed? Should the Kennel Club run field trials? Do pointers truly have a Spanish origin? Did the spaniel actually come from Spain? Could the Labrador retriever have originated in Devon? Was the golden retriever just a variety of the flat-coat? Is the Chesapeake Bay retriever merely the Norfolk retriever relocated in Norfolk, Virginia? Would it benefit their genetic diversity if the setter breeds could be interbred (as in the 18th and 19th centuries) and the coat colour restrictions within breeds abolished? Should we restore the English water spaniel to our gundog list? Are our gundog breeds being bred wisely? Shouldn't the title of champion be based on a lot more than appearance? Do we now need a new covenant between gundogs and their masters? In his usual forthright way, he challenges the often over-romanticized breed histories, questions the soundness of the gundog breeds and asks for a greater awareness of their simple needs. .This comprehensive survey of the gundog's origins, its role and its future is essential reading for all those with an interest in these handsome, stylish and admirably loyal dogs."
