The Bulldog - A Complete Anthology of the Dog -

Once the dog of the old baiting ring, the Bulldog was remade in the nineteenth century into the sweet-natured, tenacious national symbol of Britain. The Bulldog gathers the scattered early literature of the breed – its history, description, character and management – into a single readable volume.

These collected accounts range across the Bulldog's history and origins, its description and character, and the practical business of rearing, breeding and showing it, assembled from the works of the fanciers and authorities who knew the breed best.

A rewarding companion for Bulldog enthusiasts and breed historians alike, this modern edition keeps a wealth of early material in print and within easy reach.

This edition features:

• Brings the breed's foundational writers together in one collection.
• Covers the breed's history, origins, description and character.
• Includes period guidance on breeding, rearing and showing.
