Synopsis
Not every dog is equally well-suited for the hunt. A hunting dog not only needs to be appropriate for the terrain, but must also be a good fit with the specific needs of its owner. This book describes the criteria for selecting a suitable breed and gives basic principles for the training, care and appropriate housing of a dog. In a separate section, characteristics of more than forty breeds of hunting dogs a?? from the fox terrier to the laika - are presented in pictures and words, including information on their suitability for hunting and their physique and nutritional needs. Last but not least, the practical glossary and an index make this book a valuable companion for anyone who enjoys hunting dogs.
