Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. Later Printing. Description: Dust jacket art by Martin Knowelden. Several black and white photo illustrations. Following is taken from the jacket blurb: ''To begin with, the author disperses the myths which surround this type's origins, then moves on to give comprehensive advice on the choice of a terrier, its rearing and entering as a working dog. Aspects of breeding are then covered, together with show entering and the treatment of common ailments. Side by side with the practical advice, he includes a wealth of readable and entertaining anecdotes.'' The author hopes his book will ''give at least an insight into the history, psychology and working abilities of a dog who should never become a show-bred piece of uselessness, but should remain the useful little hunter and all-round worker it is today.'' This was originally published in 1980. BINDING/CONDITION: red binding with gilt spine text; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket. 8vo (about 9.5 inches tall). 158 pages.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Brian Plummer is the author of 28 books on different canine breeds In this book, he summarizes for the first time the secrets of his enormously successful methods, and his unique relationship with many different types of dog. He shows how, by simple practical steps combined with the right attitude, any dog owner can produce a docile, biddle pet that is a pleasure to own. The proven success of his methods comes from a deep knowledge of the instincts, temperaments and purpose of different breeds - the result of many years living with working dogs. Other aspects of dog training covered by this indispensible book include: the peculiarities of various breeds, why some are reluctant to return to hand, others are natural stock worriers, how some are so hyperactive that they are impossible to live with; why certain breeds are more feared than others, and the problems associated with owning such breeds; why dogs should be trained, and the problems the owner is likely to experience when he/she fails to train a dog and stock-breaking, how to discourage the chasing of cats and sheep and how to control your dog in the countryside.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
