The Cairn Terrier (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic) by Florence M Ross
Originally published in 1925, this extremely rare early work on the Cairn Terrier is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOKS have republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASIC BRED BOKS series. The author was a highly respected breeder of the day. The book's 110 pages cover all aspects of the Cairn Terrier. Beginning with the history of the breed, it moves on to discuss buying, breeding, feeding and showing amongst many other topics. There is an interesting chapter on The inter-breeding of Cairn and West Highland White Terriers and Baroness Burton (a noted breeder, exhibitor and judge of the day) contributes 2 chapters - Present-Day Cairns and The Show Cairn. There is also a Standard description of the correct appearance and scale of points and a host of excellent photos of famous dogs of the day. This is a fascinating read for any Cairn Terrier enthusiast or historian of the breed and also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
