"Prize Dogs" is a classic guide to breeding dogs with a special focus on exhibiting and showing. This profusely-illustrated guide contains all the information a dog breeder ought to know, including chapters on selection, general management, housing, ailments, and much more. "Prize Dogs" constitutes a must-read for serious breeders and would make for a fantastic addition to collection of allied literature. Contents include: "Classification of Breeds", "Kenelling", "Feeding", "Exercise", "Washing and Grooming", "The Management of the Stud Dog and Brood Bitch", "Handy Calculator", "Rearing Puppies", "Docking and Dew Claws", "Simple Ailments", "Preparation for Exhibition", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book today in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on dog breeding.
