Sinopsis

A breeder's handbook from the Scottie's great fashionable decades, written by the woman behind the Santa kennels at Epsom Downs.

Dorothy Gabriel bred, showed and wrote about the breed for years, and The Scottish Terrier - It's Breeding and Management is the distilled result: origin and history, description and character, the stud dog and the brood bitch, buying and kennelling and feeding, whelping, the rearing and training of puppies, exercise, grooming and preparation for the ring, the specialist clubs, and the Standard of Points as it then stood. A closing chapter covers Cairns, still close kin in her day.

It is a practical book, written for the owner who means to breed seriously, and it is illustrated with plates of the dogs she and her contemporaries were putting in front of judges.

This edition features:

  • A complete owner-breeder handbook, from origin and character to the show ring
  • The stud dog, the brood bitch, whelping and the rearing of puppies, set out step by step
  • The Standard of Points and the specialist clubs of the day
  • A closing chapter on Cairns, by an author who bred and showed both

This vintage book contains a detailed guide to owning and keeping Scottish terriers, with information on history, breeding, rearing, exhibiting, and more. Man has been keeping these small, delightful canines for hundreds of years, and this volume explores this relationship between man and terrier, as well as offering the reader tips on keeping and breeding them. Highly recommended for Scottish terrier owners and those with an interest in dog breeding in general. Contents include: "Origin and History", "Description and Character", "The Stud Dog and Brood Bitch", "Buying, Kennelling, Feeding", "Puppy Rearing and Training", "Exercise", "Grooming and Preparing for Show", "Specialist Clubs", "Standard of Points", "Things to Remember", and "Cairn Terriers-by Kate L.
