Book Description

Excerpt from The Setter: With Notices of the Most Eminent Breeds Now Extant, Instructions How to Breed, Rear, and Break, Dog Shows, Field Trials, General Management, Etc I have ever been 'going to do it' for the last twenty years, but ever too lazy and unwilling to commence. An old man now, over seventy-three years of age, in the 'sear and yellow leaf, ' a sportsman from my early youth, and with more than half a century's actual experience in breeding setters, perhaps my ideas on the subject may be received favourably, and even valued and appreciated by some. I intend this little volume to be practical and instructive, but at the same time as concise as the subject will admit of.
