From Mr. Herbert's Preface. 



" In offering to the American public a new edition of Dinks and Mayhew 

 on the Dog, which, I am happy to find, is largely called for, I have been in- 

 duced to make a further addition by including the last admirable work of 

 Col. Hutchinson on Dog-Breaking, which will, I think, render this the most 

 perfect and comprehensive work in existence for the dog-fancier and dog- 

 lover. * * * The writers are — all the three — good friends to that best 

 of the friends of man, the faithful dog ; and I feel some claim to a share in 

 their well-doing, and to the gratitude of the good animal, and of those who 

 love him, in bringing them thus together, in an easy compass, and a form 

 attainable to all who love the sports of the field, and yet love mercy more." 



Opinions of the Leading Journals. 



"This valuable work embodies the experience of three of the most.capable writeri on 

 the subjects of which they treat — dog-breeding, dog-medicining, and dog-breaking. These 

 three departments are treated fully by these favorite standard authors, furnishing all the 

 information required relating to the canine race. We know of no book on the dog equal 

 to it in value and interest, alike to the sportsman and the naturalist. 



"With their usual liberality, the publishers have given highly-finished wood engrav- 

 ings of the different species. In material and execution the work is truly admirable. 

 We commend it, in the words of the popular editor, as the most perfect and comprehen- 

 sive work in existence for the dog-fancier and dog-lover." — Spirit of the Times.
