Originally published in New York in 1914, this scarce early work on the Foxhound is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and illustrations, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author was a well known foxhunter whose knowledge of Foxhounds was unsurpassed. His experiences of breeding and hunting hounds for more than a quarter of a century are detailed in one hundred and forty pages containing ten informative chapters: The Foxhound. - Breeding and Training Hounds. - Training and Hunting. - Feeding. - Kennels. - Diseases and Remedies. - The Bench Show. List of Don'ts. - Glossary of Technical Terms. - Foxhound Field Trials. This is a fascinating read for any enthusiast of the breed, of whatever nationality, and contains much information which is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Fox-hunting was an ancient and royal pastime and a popular sport during the 19the century. Unfortunately, people knew very little of the foxes and even less about hunting them. The author aimed to provide information on the fox's habits, the science of hunting, and several techniques to effectively help everyone participate in this sport. He wanted to help people learn by following his clear instructions. Even though fox hunting was banned during the earlier half of the 20th century, this book is still of historical importance in sporting literature. It helps get a good idea of how passionate the people were about hunting.
