1. Modern Dogs from (1887) 420 pages
A history and description of the modern dogs of Great Britain and Ireland sporting division (1897) Volume 1
BY RAWDON B. LEE,
Illustrations by ARTHUR WARDLE.
PREFACE.
In the following pages an endeavour has been made to summarise the progress, and describe the Sporting varieties of the dog as they are at present known, and, I believe, appreciated, in the British Isles. Without losing any of the early history, my Avish has been to introduce matter bringing the subject up to date ; not only so far as the work of hounds and other dogs in the field is concerned, but
as they are as companions, and when winning, or attempting to win, prizes in the show ring.

A history and description of the modern dogs of Great Britain and Ireland non sporting (1899)
THIRD EDITION BY RAW DON B. LEE.
ILLUSTRATIONS BY ARTHUR WARDLE AND R. H. MOORE.
In accordance with the wish of my publisher, the title of the present volume has been somewhat amplified, to bring into greater ominence Pet, Fancy, and Ladies' dogs generally, which are more popular now than at any previous period of our history. It must not, however, be forgotten that the Toy Terriers appear in the volume of
" MODERN DOGS " which is entirely devoted to the terrier family.

DRAWN FROM LIFE
By R. H. MOORE
I think my book is somewhat out of the usual run of doggy books. While in no wise seeking to produce a scientific treatise, nor yet a natural history, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, my wish has been so to write on the subject as to stir up in the minds of any of my readers, unacquainted with the many charms possessed by dogs, a desire to adopt some kind of dog as a companion and friend, and to confirm the affection and regard of my multitudinous dog-loving friends, so that they may be disposed to extend the borders of their fancy, and possibly be interested and amused by some of the humours and vagaries of the Show Rings or the
Doggy Anecdotes.

5. British dogs, their points, selection, and show preparation (1903) 684 pages
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS OF TYPICAL DOGS,
THIRD EDITION BY W. D. DRURY
SINCE the last Edition of " British Dogs
" was issued, many
breeds but then little known have become popular ; while others quite unknown have come " to stay." This, combined with a more extended knowledge of the management of existing varieties, has rendered a new Edition absolutely necessary. As is fairly well known, the old work was in two volumes a form that was somewhat cumbersome and necessarily expensive. The present work has been compressed into one volume, and this without sacrificing any of those important details that have characterised the work since its inception. The aim has been to produce a modern work upon modern dogs ; and in doing so the claims of the fancier have been studied equally with those of that wider section known as the dog-loving public.

6. British dogs; their varieties, history, characteristics, breeding, management and exhibition.. (1879)
ILLUSTRATED WITH PORTRAITS OF DOGS OF THE DAY.
BY HUGH DALZIEL (" CORSINCON")
The object aimed at has been to give, as far as obtainable, a sketch of the origin of each breed, and an accurate description of the points of excellence of each variety as demanded by modern taste. Only the initiated know the minute distinctions between breeds and
individual dogs, patent to the subtle discrimination of the present-day philo-kuon. My fitness, if fitness there be, to convey this class of information much sought after nowadays has been acquired as canine critic for The Field, as kennel editor of The Country, and as a judge at shows, in which capacities I have visited many of the great exhibitions of the canine species in France, Germany, and America, as well as all the principal ones in the United Kingdom, where I have had exceptional opportunities of enlarging a knowledge of my favourite animals, which I had all my life been accumulating.

7. Dogs of China & Japan, in nature and art (1921) 332 pages
BY V. W. F. COLLIER
ILLUSTRATED
PREFACE
CHINA and Japan, their people and their customs, have
lured the foreigner in his thousands to the making of many books. No writer, however, has thought fit to devote much study to their canine race, though in the Far East, just as in Europe, the dog has been for ages man's chief
help and protector :
"The rich man's guardian and the poor man's friend, The only creature faithful to the end."
Those who have, in passing, deigned to notice the existence of dogs in the Far East have paused only for brief comment, usually by way of grasping another stick to beat the Celestial for gastronomic eccentricity or superstitious delusions, and have given to the Eastern canine races scarcely the proverbial dog's chance of being considered better than universally mongrel.

DRAWN FROM NATURE BY J. G. KEULEMANS AND HAND-COLOURED.
For this purpose the rich and unrivalled stores of Canine animals accumulated in the British Museum of Natural History have been
most liberally and kindly placed at the disposal of the author by the authorities of that Institution. The writer cannot hope to have in
all cases rightly determined the vexed questions as to the limits of species and varieties and those of synonymy. He trusts, however, by
means of his studies, by full references to the literature concerning each species, and by carefully drawn figures from nature, and sometimes from life, to have at least provided a fresh starting point whence new explorations into the Natural History of the group may fruit fully take place. To facilitate this, he has been careful to have drawn, when possible, the actual types of original descriptions, and
no less than fourteen representations of such types have been here figured.

12. Practical dog training, or, Training vs. breaking (1882)
BY S. T. HAMMOND
The system of dog training described in this book is a new one. Its fundamental principles were adopted by the writer thirty years ago ; the details of the method, as here given, have been developed and perfected by him during that time. His own success with it has
encouraged the belief that its publication would be welcomed by the thousands of Air* ican sportsmen who own and handle field dogs. This belief, it is a pleasure to say, has been confirmed by the marked favor accorded to the successive chapters as they appeared in the
FOREST AND STREAM, from which journal they are here reprinted.
This system is humane and rational. It is also practical and efficient. Dog training differs essentially from dog breaking, both in method and spirit, and also in what may be accepted as the test of all systems, namely:
the results attained.
The pages of this book contain no theories.

The genetic and endocrinic basis for differences in form and behavior :
as elucidated by studies of contrasted pure-line dog breeds
and their hybrids (1941)
The spirit that animated his teaching', the philosophy that guided him in his relations with students, graduate students and colleagues, and influenced his attitude toward his profession is best illustrated by Doctor Stockard 's own words, quoted from a lecture given at the dedication of the Theobald Smith Laboratory at the Albany Medical College in 1937.
He believed that a laboratory should be "invaded by that shy and intangible spirit which inspires enthusiasm and creates devotion to research, a free dwelling for students of nature conscious of and charitable to the faults and virtues of all that surround them."
Doctor Stockard was a true lover of animals. Anyone who visited the Cornell Dog Farm at Shrub Oak must have been
impressed with the fondness of the Doctor for his animals and their affection for him.

14. The American hunting dog (1926) 284 pages
BY WARREN H. MILLER
MODERN STRAINS OF BIRD DOGS AND
HOUNDS, AND THEIR FIELD TRAINING
THIS volume is written to furnish an up-todate book confined exclusively to the breeds of
American hunting dogs in use to-day. Without a dog, sports afield are apt to prove rather barren in results in the game bag. Never before have American sportsmen relied so much on the dog as a finder of game.

WITH AN APPENDIX ON CANINE MEDICINE AND SURGERY,
BY W. GORDON STABLES, CM., M.D., R.N.
AS in former works relating to dogs but small attention has been devoted by the authors to the modes of classification adopted by the earlier writers on the subject, a brief notice of the principal cannot but be of interest. As to later works, in several encyclopaedias there has been an attempt made to classify the different varieties, but such classification has, so far as our observation carries us, invariably been founded on the structural development of the different breeds alone, and aot unfrequently on comparison with the characteristics of other animals, little or no attention having been paid to the various temperaments and capabilities of the several breeds. Visitors to the great shows of the present day, on the contrary, must be struck by the extreme simplicity of the arrangement of the catalogues, which invariably divide the candidates into two divisions, namely, one for sporting, and one for non-sporting dogs.

THE origin of the breed, alas ! like that of many others,
lies buried in the mists of antiquity. Whether the prototype of our modern bob-tail was, as some authorities
aver, a massive, powerful animal, whose duties included the guardianship of his flock against the attacks of bears
and wolves, must remain a matter of conjecture.

17. Training the hunting dog for the field and field trials (1901)
BY B. WATERS
DOG TRAINING, considered as an art, has no mysteries,
no insurmountable obstacles, no short cuts to success. It is a result of the patient schooling of the dog in manner analogous to that employed in the schooling of the child, with the distinction, however, that the former is prepared with a special view to a limited servitude when used in the pursuit of game. In the furtherance of this purpose, man, by certain methods, simply diverts the efforts of the dog to Ms own service.Once that his prey is found, man has great powers of destruction; but as compared to the dog, he is
distinctly inferior as a finder. By concerted action, man and dog can find and capture much more than either could if working independently. |
