Summary

This volume contains a classic guide to rearing a retriever to be an efficient gun dog, with chapters on selection, breeding, breaking, training, and much more. Written in simple, plan language and full of handy tips, this timeless guide will be of considerable utility to modern hunters, breeders, and owners alike. Contents include: "Choice of Puppy", "Size and Symmetry", "Best Sex", "Early Days", "Age to Begin Breaking", "Breaking Tackle", "Early Lessons", "Waling at Heel", "Dropping", "Staying at the Drop", "First Lessons in Retrieving", "Education Up-To-Date", "First Walks with the Gun", "Gun-Shy Puppy", "Introduction to Game", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
