The popularity of the retriever breed of dogs has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. Through specialized training, their range of usefulness has been greatly extended, so much so, in fact, that many Sportsmen employ a retriever as an all-around dog. but no breed of dog can be expected to deliver its best without proper training. This schooling, so essential to the attainment of a finished dog, differs in many respects from that given to field dogs-- pointers, setters, and spaniels. This book fills the definite need for an authoritative work dealing not only with the training of retrievers, but also their selection and care, the various breed standards, history and general background of this great group of dogs.

This antique text contains a comprehensive treatise on the use of retrievers as gun dogs, including detailed information on their breeding, training, health, and history. A retriever is a variety of gun dog that is often employed by a hunter to retrieve game. Commonly gun-dogs are split into three major groups: retrievers, flushing spaniels, and pointing breeds. Bred primarily to retrieve birds or other game and return them to the hunter undamaged, retrievers make excellent gun dogs as well as loyal companions. This book is perfect for game enthusiasts with a particular interest in retrievers, and constitutes a wonderful addition to any collection of antique hunting literature. This text has been elected for modern republication due to its timeless educational value, and is proudly republished here with a new introduction to the subject.
