Book Overview
Nineteen British terrier breeds, described in 1922 - the year the group was still settling into the shape we know.
Darley Matheson's Terriers - An Illustrated Guide takes each of the nineteen terrier breeds of these islands in turn - origin, history, description and the standard as it then stood - and then turns practical: feeding, washing, grooming and exercise, the stud dog, the brood bitch and her management, and the ailments and accidents a terrier is likely to bring home with it.
Thirty-one photographs of typical dogs of the period are reproduced from the original edition. Written while the Kennel Club was still formalising terrier standards and newer breeds were coming onto the register, it is a snapshot of the group at a moment of change.
