These hunting dogs primarily fall under the setter and pointer breeds, and Arkwright has included everything that an owner would need to know. Anyone who has any interest in shooting and hunting culture will find this book of substantial use. The Pointer and His Predecessors includes topics such as: Characteristics of the Pointer Breeding and Selection Shooting Over Dogs Breaking and Training Kennel Management Amidst the plethora of factual information are Arkwright’s own theories and anecdotes on the topic of pointing dogs. Arkwright discusses their origin as he pulls biblical quotes and examples to pinpoint where in history these hunting dogs were first spotted. He also recalls on his own experiences with the hounds to exemplify his passion for game dogs. The Pointer and His Predecessors is the top choice for anyone interested in hunting with dogs.

This anthology includes chapters taken from each of the following books, all of them written by renowned breed experts of their day. All of the original photos and illustrations are also reproduced. Contains Chapters From: THE ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF THE DOG By Vero Shaw - This rare and desirable work was first published in parts over the years 1879 - 1881 and thoroughly described every aspect of over sixty breeds of dogs. Vero Shaw was a leading authority and editor of dog books and periodicals in the late nineteenth century, but this particular comprehensive work stands as a final testimony to his immense knowledge of the subject. Each breed was discussed in detail. Their physical points, temperaments,, and special abilities are given; celebrated dogs are discussed and pictured; and the history of the breed and pedigrees of famous champions are also provided. This classic work strongly influenced the direction of dog breeding in its time and for decades after. Also, BRITISH DOGS - THE VARIOUS BREEDS. THE POINTS, SELECTION, SPECIAL TRAINING & MANAGEMENT, AND SHOW PREPARATION By W. D. Drury with contributions from numerous authorities. Originally published in two volumes in 1888, but a new edition of 1903 encompassed both volumes. It discusses in great detail over sixty dog breeds with many photographs and other illustrations. The chapters are penned by experts on the particular breeds and this book is now considered one of the finest reference works in the English language. Also, A HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE MODERN DOGS (SPORTING DIVISION) OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND -The author of these three titles was Rawdon B. Lee. He was well known as the editor of "The Field," and also author of the histories of "The Fox Terrier," "The Collie," and other important dog books. The three volumes were devoted to every breed of dog found in Great Britain and Ireland. Every aspect of their history, breeding and management is discussed in great detail. A particular feature of these books were the numerous detailed full page drawings by the famous dog artist Arthur Wardle, which are reproduced here in fine detail.

Excerpt from The Pointer and His Predecessors: An Illustrated History of the Pointing Dog From the Earliest Times Since the publication of The Pointer and his Predecessors in its original form, a demand appears to have arisen for a cheaper, more portable edition, which shall be suitable for everyday use. To meet this demand the present volume has been designed, to synchronise if possible with a similar edition in French. It has been carefully revised throughout and a few additions have been made chiefly to the chapter on kennel management: otherwise it remains unaltered. The general arrangement is identical, with the exception that the descriptions of the illustrations, formerly in a separate chapter, have been distributed, so that each may be opposite the picture of which it treats; and the forty original plates have been reduced to twenty-two of the most apposite in order to make the book as compact as possible. After consideration, the chapter that deals with Shows and Working Trials has been left untouched because since 1901, the year when it was written, there has been no appreciable change in the policy of the various canine Societies. One fresh subject alone seems to me to require consideration. The late Mr. C. J. Cornish, in the course of a most thoughtful criticism of this book for 'Country Life, ' remarked, 'There is only one bed-rock subject which Mr. Arkwright does not discuss, and that is the history of the growth and transmission of the gift or habit of pointing.' This omission not having been due to any cloudiness in my own mind as to the derivation of the phenomenon, I am now presenting my view of the subject without claiming for it any special originality.
