Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Originally published in Germany in 1923. This is the English edition translated by J. Schwabacher. Probably the most important book ever published on this popular breed. The illustrated contents include: The Shepherd dog and Herdsmans dog, their Origin and Relationship The Nature and Service of the Shepherd Dog Breeding Rearing Judging Training Kennels etc. Many of the earliest dog books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Vintage Dog Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Synopsis
Originally published in Germany in 1923, "The German Shepherd Dog in Word and Picture" is the English translation of what is probably the most important book ever published on this popular breed. This volume is highly recommended for owners and breeders alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Shepherd dog and Herdsman's dog, their Origin and Relationship," "The Nature and Service of the Shepherd Dog," "Breeding," "Rearing," "Judging," "Training," "Kennels," etc Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
