BORZOI - THE RUSSIAN WOLFHOUND - ITS HISTORY, BREEDING, EXHIBITING AND CARE By Nellie L. Martin. A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT Originally published in 1931, this extremely scarce early work on the Russian Wolfhound or Borzoi, is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. Only a handful of books have ever been written on this truly magnificent aristocrat of the canine race. This particular title is an important, complete and practical work, and the author has endeavoured to show the breed as it truly is. Its origins and history have been well researched, with information on other topics being gathered from breeders worldwide, including the authors own wealth of practical experience with the Borzoi. The book's one hundred and eighteen pages contain numerous comprehensive chapters, each being illustrated with rare vintage photographs and line drawings: Origins and History. Famous Dogs of United States, Canada and England. Official Standard. Head, Body, Legs, Feet and Tail. Coat, Colour and General Appearance. Traits and Disposition. Training, Feeding and Kenneling. Preparing for the Show Ring. Breeding Principles. Handling of the Stud. Questionnaires. List of Russian Wolfhound Champions. Etc. This is a fascinating read for any Russian Wolfhound / Borzoi enthusiast or historian of the breed, but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.Keywords: Russian Wolfhound Borzoi Vintage Photographs Breed Books L Martin Books Series Aristocrat Practical Experience Nellie Handful Reprint Origins
