BULLDOGS AND BULLDOG BREEDING
BY H. ST. JOHN COOPER
A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT
Paperback Edition
Originally published in 1905, this extremely rare early work on the bulldog is almost impossible to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series.
The author was a highly respected breeder of the day. The books 164 pages cover all aspects of the Bulldog. Beginning with the history of the breed, it moves on to discuss buying, breeding and showing amongst many other topics. It also features over 60 photographs of champion bulldogs of the day. Included in the original text are a number of adverts featuring stud dogs and dog food all with additional photographs of bulldogs.
This is a fascinating read for any Bulldog enthusiast or historian of the breed but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today.
Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Vintage Dog Books are reprinting these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork
