The Bulldog - A Dog Anthology (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic)

By Various and Herbert Compton

Sober, stoic, and unmistakably English, the old Bulldog wears the face of a fighter and the temper of a friend. This anthology gathers vintage writing on the national dog of England.

The Bulldog - A Dog Anthology brings together essays and breed accounts from scarce Victorian and Edwardian sources, including Rawdon Lee's Modern Dogs (1894), James Watson's The Dog Book (1906), and Vero Shaw's The Illustrated Book of the Dog (1879 - 1881). It traces the breed's transformation from the bull-baiting ring to the beloved companion of the modern hearth.

This edition features:
