The Greyhound - A Treatise On The Art Of Breeding, Rearing, And Training Greyhounds For Public Running - Their Diseases And Treatment
Author: Stonehenge
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1528762533
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
This vintage book contains a thorough and timeless guide to breeding Greyhounds for racing purposes. It is written by the master of sporting literature, John Hartley Walsh. A comprehensive treatise on the subject, this book covers everything one needs to know for successful greyhound management, including information on subjects ranging from rearing and training, to diseases and treatment. As useful today as it was when first published, this antiquarian handbook is a must-have for modern greyhound breeders, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Michael John Hartley Walsh was an officer in the British Army, a surgeon, and the Chief Scout for the United Kingdom from 1982 to 1988. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

The Invention of the Modern Dog
Author: Michael Worboys
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421426595
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
The story of the thoroughly Victorian origins of dog breeds. For centuries, different types of dogs were bred around the world for work, sport, or companionship. But it was not until Victorian times that breeders started to produce discrete, differentiated, standardized breeds. In The Invention of the Modern Dog, Michael Worboys, Julie-Marie Strange, and Neil Pemberton explore when, where, why, and how Victorians invented the modern way of ordering and breeding dogs. Though talk of "breed" was common before this period in the context of livestock, the modern idea of a dog breed defined in terms of shape, size, coat, and color arose during the Victorian period in response to a burgeoning competitive dog show culture. The authors explain how breeders, exhibitors, and showmen borrowed ideas of inheritance and pure blood, as well as breeding practices of livestock, horse, poultry and other fancy breeders, and applied them to a species that was long thought about solely in terms of work and companionship. The new dog breeds embodied and reflected key aspects of Victorian culture, and they quickly spread across the world, as some of Britain’s top dogs were taken on stud tours or exported in a growing international trade. Connecting the emergence and development of certain dog breeds to both scientific understandings of race and blood as well as Britain’s posture in a global empire, The Invention of the Modern Dog demonstrates that studying dog breeding cultures allows historians to better understand the complex social relationships of late-nineteenth-century Britain.
