Bold, comical, and built to go to ground after the badger, the Dachshund packs a hound's courage into a low-slung frame. Eric Fitch Daglish brings a naturalist's eye and an engraver's care to this thorough study of the breed.
The Book of the Dachshund is the work of Eric Fitch Daglish (1892 - 1966), the naturalist, wood-engraver, and prolific writer on dogs. It covers the smooth, long-haired, and miniature varieties, tracing the breed's history in Germany and Britain and setting out the standard of points, alongside practical chapters on management, feeding, and grooming for owner and breeder alike.
