Vintage Dog Scrapbook - The Newfoundland

Huge, gentle, and born to the water, the Newfoundland is the great lifesaving dog, a webbed-footed worker of the Canadian coast. This treasured anthology gathers vintage writing and rare photographs celebrating the Newfoundland.

Part of the Vintage Dog Books library, The Vintage Dog Scrapbook - The Newfoundland collects essays, breed notes, poems, and period photographs drawn from classic interwar dog books such as About Our Dogs (1931) by A. Croxton Smith, Dogs of the World (1931) by Arthur Craven, and Hutchinson's Dog Encyclopaedia (1935). Together they capture the breed as it was known a century ago, in the words and images of the fanciers who prized it most.

This edition features:

• A collection of rare interwar photographs, many seldom seen since first publication
• Essays and breed notes gathered from the classic dog writers of the 1930s
• A vivid portrait of the Newfoundland as it stood a hundred years ago
