The popularity of the dog as a companion as a guardian of property as an assistant in the pursuit of game and as the object of a pleasurable hobby has never been so great as it is at the present time.

This review is from: Dogs and All about Them (Kindle Edition)
This book is available for free on te web. At the moment I write this Amazon does not offer this book in Europe, but via the web this book can be downloaded from anywhere. The printed editions have pictures, but the eBook versions don't. This book written by Robert Leighton (1859-1934) was first published in 1910. The printed version has 364 pages (wordcount: 123,770). The book contains a general history of dogs and practical information on breeding, management, some common ailments of the dogs and their treatment. The emphasis of the book however is on breeds of dogs and their history. Over 50 different breeds are discribed in this book. The information given is at some points dated. For example: the colours considered to be correct for poodles are given in this book as: black, white, brown and blue. The colours that are considered correct today are: black, white , brown, grey, and apricot. This 'Dogs and All about Them' is a nice and very readable book that gives interesting information on the history of dogbreeds, but the information it gives is dated. This book is more of a history book than a practical guide on dogs today. I do recommend this book to doglovers!
