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
