Robert Leighton, one of the leading dog authorities of Edwardian Britain, wrote this guide for everyone who ever loved a dog. He tours the great breeds one by one, from collies and terriers to spaniels and hounds, describing their histories, characters, and care with deep knowledge and evident affection. Published in 1910, it captures the golden age of the working and companion dog. Dog lovers will enjoy meeting their favorite breeds as they were a century ago, told by a man who knew them all.
