Recensione:
Lurcher types, pedigree sighthounds and some hunting terriers from all over the world, past and present, are portrayed, with descriptions and illustrations of their use... We have come to expect a wealth of super illustrations accompanying Colonel Hancock's work and here is the great strength of this book with photographs, drawings, paintings and statues depicting hunting dogs enriching almost every page. It is a worthy addition to the shelves of any lurcher fan who would like to know more about the beginnings of our type of hunting dog. --Countryman's Weekly
A fascinating, lavishly illustrated historical record of Lurchers through the ages, aimed at anyone with an interest in these beautiful canine athletes. --Dogs Today
For anyone who wants to know more about the lurcher and its unassailable place in our sporting lives a copy of Hancock's book is a must... His research is meticulous and the history of these hunting hounds is fascinating... The composition of the lurcher - breeding, speed and preparation for the show ring - are covered in depth. The book is genuinely informative and interesting, not merely a pictorial history, although the illustrations and photographs throughout are wonderfully produced. --The Field
