Editorial Reviews

Review

The standard American work on the subject. (English Field )

The lasting authority for American huntsmen. (New York Evening Post )

By Joseph B. Thomas, MFH, and for anyone who thinks he knows everything about breeding or developing a real pack of foxhounds, or for the new breeder or MFH Huntsman ect. this is a must. I learned more about Breeding and reaffirmed more about hunting and hounds than any book I've ever read. And its easy to understand in an entertaining manner. (Friends Of The Penn-Marydel )
