Hounds of the World by David Alderton
Hounds represent the oldest group of dog breeds in the world with their origins dating back many thousands of years. This unique book features superb photographs of hounds outdoors in their natural environment, as well as close-up portrayals of individual dogs. The accompanying text adopts a chronological approach to its subject, explaining the development of the hound lineage, and the different types of hound that have evolved down the centuries. Mention is made of those breeds which are now extinct, such as the St Hubert Hound, and their legacy, as reflected in contemporary breeds. Their ancestries, physical characteristics and character are all discussed, making this book an invaluable reference source.| SKU | Unavailable |
