This book meticulously documents the emergence of pointing dogs, beginning from their roots in Spain and Portugal to their refinement in Britain and further proliferation around the world. It highlights the breed's specialized skill in standing still to 'point' the location of game, which has been honed through selective breeding and training over generations. Richly illustrated with paintings, engravings, and photographs, the book not only explores the functional aspects of these dogs in hunting but also delves into their role in society and influence on canine breeding practices. This comprehensive narrative not only serves as a tribute to the breed but also as a valuable resource for enthusiasts and historians alike, offering insights into the cultural and practical aspects of hunting dogs. ; Octavo; 275 pages Facsimile Edition of the 2nd Edition; Third Impression.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1989). (1906) 1989 reprint of 1977 Derry Argue facsimile of 2nd edition. 8vo (141 x 222mm). Ppxiii,275. B/w illustrations, bibliography. Gilt border and titles to red boards and spine. Very good in slightly used dust-wrapper. This is the 1989 reprint of Derry Argue's 1977 facsimile of the second "popular" edition of 1906, for the first time reproducing all of the original plates. "About nine years ago I said in my haste, 'I will write a complete record of the Pointer.' Ever since I have been hunting up the materials at home and abroad, and to aid the pursuit I have been obliged to learn from its commencement the language of one of the countries involved in my research. .My fitness for writing the practical part of this book mainly depends on my having been reared literally from earliest infancy among pure pointers, though afterwards I experimented, on my own account, with the houndy ones. For my father, dying when I was but a few weeks old, left instructions that his pointers were to be preserved for me, instructing Charles Ecob his favourite keeper, to look after my sporting education. His wishes were carried out to the letter, and no child could have had a kinder or more competent tutor; and it is owing to those early years of training that I have a working knowledge of kennel-management." Chapters include: Early history; Later history; Shows and working trials; Characteristics of the pointer; Breeding and selection; Alien crosses; Shooting over dogs; Breaking; Kennel management; List of books. .
