Fine new copy. "Brian Plummer has bred dogs virtually all [his] life and has experience most of the problems attendant with the birth… of puppies. He readily admits that he has also made most of the mistakes dog breeders makes, though his scientific training has perhaps allowed him to check and dodge most of the unscientific hokum that sometimes clouds the minds of conventional dog breeders. This practical and comprehensive book is essential reading for anybody who intends to breed dogs, be it an occasional litter or as a full time occupational. It is full of telling and instructive anecdotes coupled with sound professional advice from one of the UK's top breeders. The book covers all aspects of breeding, from choosing, and maintaining breeding stock through to the birth and rearing of puppies and on to their sale. It also deals candidly with some of the less palatable aspects of dog breeding including vivisection, culling and the disposal of kennel waste."

B/w illustrations by Martin Knowelden. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt. Slightly bumped and used but good-plus in like dust-wrapper. Account of Plummer's dev…elopment as a hunter, from boyhood exploits with lurcher and terrier to adulthood, with many interesting digressions. Includes chapters on cock-fighting and bird-catching, cooking and eating badgers, foxes and rats, hawks and hawking. Although Plummer often comes across as bonkers, many of his apparently eccentric actions, such as badger eating or covering himself with a concoction of badger grease and herbs, were experiments to establish the plausibility of claims made by other writers. Being perpetually surrounded by people incapable of sharing this pioneering spirit of enquiry seems the source of his restlessness and the driving force behind the hundreds of books he wrote in his lifetime. This is not to say that Plummer did not have deep problems, as he himself describes in Hancock's My Life with Lurchers. .

The Creator gave the hare speed and beauty, but condemned him to be forever pursued, and so Lepus is hunted by a variety of enemies from the day his doe brings him into the world - hounds, hawks, and lurchers - but one hunter in particular, Brennan, is obsessed by the black-spined hare. Just as Lepus becomes a legend among the hunters, so Brennan acquires a legendary lurcher, Czar, with a formidable reputation and it seems as though Brennan will achieve his object and take the hare who has so persistently eluded him."

Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine in dust-wrapper. Brian Plummer recounts the story of his most famous Jack Russell Terrier bitch. "Omega i…s Brian Plummer's most famous Jack Russell terrier, star of many a rat hunt, and his book chronicles her life and adventures in the context of the author's quest for the perfect ratting terrier, a dog that might perhaps go down in history as 'the Plummer Terrier'." "The book is also a celebration of his exploits on his favourite hunting ground .For thirteen years I've hunted David's farm, thirteen of the happiest years of my life, thirteen years marred only by my failure to cope with my job as a teacher. Now in three weeks the farm will be shut down, the buildings sold, the meal sheds emptied and the rats will go. For a while they'll hang around, .but after that, nothing; and my life will take on the same meaningless note it had before I met David. The starting of this book will be difficult, the end all too damnably easy." .
