The Airedale Terrier (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic)

By Holland Buckley

Book Overview

THE AIREDALE TERRIER BY HOLLAND BUCKLEY A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT. Originally published in 1905 with later editions, this extremely rare early work on the Airedale Terrier is both expensive and hard to find in any 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 who was devoted to this, the largest breed of the Terrier family. The book's one hundred and four pages cover all aspects of the Airedale Terrier in its eight Comprehensive Chapters . Commencing with a detailed look at the origins and history of the breed, it moves on to discuss buying, breeding, feeding and showing amongst many other topics. The author rounds off with some interesting chapters on the Back Blood of the Breed and Some American Fanciers. There is also a Standard description of the correct appearance and scale of points and a number of excellent photos of famous dogs of the day. This is a fascinating read for any Airedale Terrier 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 republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
