This is the first book to be dedicated exclusively to this subject. It identifies the individual breeds represented in this medium, which include greyhounds (both English and Italian), pugs, poodles (both as game animals and as pets), spaniels (particularly the King Charles variety), setters, pointers, dalmatians, great danes, mastiffs, salukis, terriers, wolf dogs, Pekingese and dachshunds. Most of the major porcelain factories of the period produced dogs, including Rockingham, Derby (at King Street as well as Nottingham Road), Chamberlain Worcester, Grainger Lee Worcester, Royal Worcester, Minton, Copeland & Garrett (and its successor Copeland), Davenport, Samuel Alcock, Charles Bourne, Lloyd Shelton, Madeley and Dudson, but some examples came from unidentified factories.

Dennis Rice is the author of Porcelain Animals of the 19th Century, published by the Antique Collectors' Club in 1989. His knowledge of and enthusiasm for these very collectable figures makes this an excellent source book.
