Practical guidance for breeders and sport dog enthusiasts, drawn from a trusted field manual.
This revised two-volume edition combines the Courser’s Companion with a comprehensive Breeder’s Guide, offering actionable insight on breeding, rearing, and training coursing dogs. It covers when and how to breed, how to manage heats, feeding strategies, and methods to keep dogs in peak condition for field work, with careful notes on health, stock management, and care of bitches and whelps.
Discover clear, age‑old wisdom on issues like proper age for breeding, the best time of year, and how to feed and raise hounds, pointers, and other working dogs. The book also treats topics such as warding, temperaments, distemper prevention, and the impact of environment and cleanliness on a dog’s sense of smell and overall performance. It blends practical care with observations from experienced coursers, making it a useful reference for anyone involved in breeding or training sporting dogs.
- How to plan matings and select sires and dams for strong bloodlines
- Guidance on heat management, wardings, and preventing premature breeding
- Feeding and training strategies to maximize stamina, wind, and endurance
Ideal for breeders, trainers, and readers interested in historical, field-tested dog care and performance strategies.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
