This vintage book contains a complete guide to training a dog for hunting birds, with chapters on selection and breeding, breaking, psychology, equipment, and much more. Interspersed with personal anecdotes, this highly-readable handbook will appeal to modern hunters, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of vintage sporting literature. Contents include: First Days in the Field , Getting on Game , Gun-Shyness and Retrieving , Hunting Quail and Pheasants , A Successful Pheasant Hunt , Wonderful Work , Steadying to Shot and Wing , A Little Canine Psychology , Further Facts and Anecdotes , Finishing Touches , Things to be Aware Of , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on gun dogs.
