About this title

Synopsis

Everything the Edwardian kennel needed, from Aberdeen Terrier to Yorkshire Terrier, in a single alphabetical sweep.

Vero Shaw had already given the Victorian fancy its great illustrated survey when he produced The Encyclopaedia of the Kennel in 1913. It is a working A to Z: the breeds interleaved with entries on physiology and feeding, blistering and vomiting, the stud, veterinary care, exhibition - and, unusually, the designing and construction of kennels themselves.

Published on the eve of the First World War, when the Kennel Club system had reached maturity, it is illustrated with 16 full-page plates and remains one of the most quoted single-volume references of its period.

This edition features:

• A complete alphabetical manual of the dog, from breeds to ailments to the stud
• A distinctive section on the designing and construction of kennels
• Sixteen full-page plates, reproduced from the 1913 edition
• Written by the author of the great Victorian illustrated survey of the dog
