This book meticulously documents the emergence of pointing dogs, beginning from their roots in Spain and Portugal to their refinement in Britain and further proliferation around the world. It highlights the breed's specialized skill in standing still to 'point' the location of game, which has been honed through selective breeding and training over generations. Richly illustrated with paintings, engravings, and photographs, the book not only explores the functional aspects of these dogs in hunting but also delves into their role in society and influence on canine breeding practices. This comprehensive narrative not only serves as a tribute to the breed but also as a valuable resource for enthusiasts and historians alike, offering insights into the cultural and practical aspects of hunting dogs. ; Octavo; 275 pages Facsimile Edition of the 2nd Edition; Third Impression.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. ] Hardback, octavo, VG+ in Very Near Fine dj (dj fitted w/ protective mylar sleeve). Mostly a wonderful copy incl the printed tissues over the plates in this reprint of the 1906 2nd edition. Previous owner had carefully folded flexible stiff plastic around the dustjacket and had carefully taped it into place. The plastic was taped only to plastic, not to the inside covers. The tape did not brown in the least, but there were adhesive remnants that had to be removed w/ solvent. Adhesive removal went quite well for the most part but there are a few spots & a few tape outlines that "appear" as light graying, though which seem to actually be translucence and not discoloration. The translucence does not appear on the f&b pastedowns, but only on each free endpaper (and which is visible on either side of each free endpaper). There also had been a small 2-line pencil notation on the ffep ("Purchased 3-3-1980") which had some adhesive running through it. This notation was lightened but slightly smeared by the use of the solvent, and it now seems resistant to erasing. In his 1977 Publisher's Note Derry G. Argue indicates that the textual contents are complete in this reprint edition, but that only 8 of the illustrations were reproduced (now scattered throughout the book), while the original Illustrations page (listing 22) still appears following the Contents page. Book's weight is approaching 2 pounds, so safe packaging might require additional shipping charges for Priority or International. RWR5 Sports Recreation Hunting Game Dogs.

"About nine years ago I said in my haste, 'I will write a complete record of the Pointer.' Ever since I have been hunting up the materials at home and abroad, and to aid the pursuit I have been obliged to learn from its commencement the language of one of the countries involved in my research. .My fitness for writing the practical part of this book mainly depends on my having been reared literally from earliest infancy among pure pointers, though afterwards I experimented, on my own account, with the houndy ones. For my father, dying when I was but a few weeks old, left instructions that his pointers were to be preserved for me, instructing Charles Ecob his favourite keeper, to look after my sporting education. His wishes were carried out to the letter, and no child could have had a kinder or more competent tutor; and it is owing to those early years of training that I have a working knowledge of kennel-management."
