Book Description
Excerpt from The American Book of the Dog: The Origin, Development, Special Characteristics, Utility, Breeding, Training, Points of Judging, Diseases, and Kennel Management of All Breeds of Dogs To the ladies and gentlemen who have responded so generously to my requests for contributions to this book, I am profoundly grateful. To their efforts alone is due the production of this the grandest work on the dog ever published, in this or any other country. Without the co-operation of such able and enthusiastic dog-fanciers, such a book would have been impossible. I am also indebted to these and to other kind friends for the use of drawings and photographs, many of which were made especially for this purpose, and from which many of the illustrations have been produced. I am grateful to Dr. Ni Rowe, editor of the American Field, for the use of several electrotypes, and to many others who have contributed to the success of the work in various ways.
