"Brian Plummer has bred dogs virtually all [his] life and has experience most of the problems attendant with the birth of puppies. He readily admits that he has also made most of the mistakes dog breeders makes, though his scientific training has perhaps allowed him to check and dodge most of the unscientific hokum that sometimes clouds the minds of conventional dog breeders. This practical and comprehensive book is essential reading for anybody who intends to breed dogs, be it an occasional litter or as a full time occupational. It is full of telling and instructive anecdotes coupled with sound professional advice from one of the UK's top breeders. The book covers all aspects of breeding, from choosing, and maintaining breeding stock through to the birth and rearing of puppies and on to their sale. It also deals candidly with some of the less palatable aspects of dog breeding including vivisection, culling and the disposal of kennel waste." Chapters include: The reasons for breeding dogs; Points to consider before starting up; Making a start; Rearing and maintaining breeding stock; Exercise; Stud dogs; The act of mating; Pregnancy; Parturition or the process of whelping; Rearing puppies; Selling one's wares; Dealing with clients; Hand rearing a litter; An idiot's guide to genetics; Breeding for vivisection; Disposing of elderly stock; Kennel staff; Bedding and the disposal of kennel waste; The future of dog breeding. Appendices cover, the Breeding of Dogs Act 1973, Licence for Keeping a Breeding Establishment for Dogs, Tail docking. PREVIOUS PRICE £14.95.

Lepus the hare is hunted throughout his life; by beagler, falconer and lurcherman. A novel of the life of a hare and his trials and hardships at the hands of his pursuers. "The world of Lepus the hare is the world of the hunted, of the creature whose only refuge is in speed and agility. The Creator gave the hare speed and beauty, but condemned him to be forever pursued, and so Lepus is hunted by a variety of enemies from the day his doe brings him into the world - hounds, hawks, and lurchers - but one hunter in particular, Brennan, is obsessed by the black-spined hare. Just as Lepus becomes a legend among the hunters, so Brennan acquires a legendary lurcher, Czar, with a formidable reputation and it seems as though Brennan will achieve his object and take the hare who has so persistently eluded him." The book includes acute observations of natural history and country sports from this legendary field sports author and commentator. .

Spotting to top edge, small mark to pp68-69. Good-plus in shelf-rubbed dust-wrapper. Account of Plummer's development as a hunter, from boyhood exploits with lurcher and terrier to adulthood, with many interesting digressions. Includes chapters on cock-fighting and bird-catching, cooking and eating badgers, foxes and rats, hawks and hawking. Although Plummer often comes across as bonkers, many of his apparently eccentric actions, such as badger eating or covering himself with a concoction of badger grease and herbs, were experiments to establish the plausibility of claims made by other writers. Being perpetually surrounded by people incapable of sharing this pioneering spirit of enquiry seems the source of his restlessness and the driving force behind the hundreds of books he wrote in his lifetime. This is not to say that Plummer did not have deep problems, as he himself describes in Hancock's My Life with Lurchers. .
