THE DOG BOOK 



BY 

 JAMES WATSON 



MR. WATSON has been a dog breeder and student for thirty or forty years, both here 

 and in England. This long experience, both as a judge at shows and as a prac- 

 tical fancier, has been supplemented by exhaustive research ; in consequence, his 

 book is really the first adequate treatment of the dog in America. It is full of practical 

 information as to buying and breeding dogs, their care and the like. Then each separate 

 breed is taken up and described at length; how it originated, what its special qualities are, 

 the points of a perfect specimen, and its value. The tremendous increase of interest in 

 dogs and canine matters during recent years is well shown by the number and prosperity of 

 the Kennel Associations, and this work will, beyond question, be the standard on the sub- 

 ject. It is the only volume here or in England in which the possibilities of photographic 

 illustrations for dog portraits and animals in motion have been made use of. 



Elaborately illustrated from photographs ; to be in ten parts, each of about 80 pages ; 

 price per part, bound in heavy paper, $1.10, subscription.
