The Harrier - A Complete Anthology of the Dog

Bigger than a beagle, smaller than a foxhound, and named for the job: one of the rarest hounds in the world.

The Harrier - A Complete Anthology of the Dog gathers the early writing on the breed from the rare kennel books in our library - chapters by the authorities of their day on a pack hound bred to hunt hare, and recorded in England as early as the thirteenth century.

Points, voice, stamina, pack work and the pedigrees of the celebrated hounds are all set out, with the original photographs of the leading dogs of the era reproduced throughout. The breed remains one of the least numerous in the world, which makes the period record of it all the more worth keeping.

This edition features:

• The early breed literature, gathered from rare and out-of-print kennel books
• The hound described by writers who saw the packs at work on hare
• Points, voice and stamina, with the pedigrees of celebrated hounds
• The original photographs of the leading hounds of the era, reproduced throughout
