In All About The Basset Hound,
Jeanne Rowett Johns provides valu-
able practical guidance for the new
owner, the novice breeder and the
exhibitor, taking them step-by-step
through the stages of choosing a
puppy, mating, whelping and rearing.

She has set out to help those who are
new to Bassets by putting forward her -
own personal views on the subject,
drawing from her long experience with
this popular breed, and giving the
reader the benefit of her knowledge
by disclosing certain methods and
rules which she has observed over a
number of years and herself put into
practice with most satisfactory results.

In suggesting how to build up a suc-
cessful kennel, she makes a point of
giving details of the way in which a
consistent standard of breeding and
showing can be maintained.

The book contains some newly pub-
lished photographs of famous Basset
Hounds of the past decade, and
chapters dealing with the impact that
these well-known pillars of the breed
have had upon the contemporary
Basset Hound.

Also included is an
up-to-date index of well-known pre-
fixes and their owners, and a special
feature about the Basset Hound in
America.
