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. BNDING/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. This guide shows how, by simple, practical steps combined with the right attitude, any dog owner can produce a docile, biddable pet that is a pleasure to own. The success of the author's methods comes from knowledge of the instincts, temperament and purpose of different breeds - the result of many years living with working dogs. Aspects of dog training covered include: the peculiarities of various breeds - why some are reluctant to return to hand, others are natural stock worriers and yet others 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; how to control a dog in the countryside, and how to discourage the chasing of cats and sheep; restraint training (sit, lie, stay) and why it is important for a dog to be taught restraint; why and how a dog should be taught to jump; new ideas about reward and punishment. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
