Scottish Deerhound with Notes on its Origin and Characteristics

A rough-coated Highland sighthound bred to course the red deer, the Deerhound is among the most ancient and stately of breeds. In The Scottish Deerhound, E. Winston Bell sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.

First published in 1892, E. Winston Bell's account sets the Scottish Deerhound's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.

Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Scottish Deerhound owners, breeders and breed historians.

This edition features:

• Traces the origins and history of the Scottish Deerhound.
• Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
• Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
• Restored from the original text and illustrations.
