Breeding Better Dogs

The pedigree charts and stick dog illustrations provide an easy method for interpreting the pedigrees of potential dams and sires, and for predicting the qualities in their expected litters.

  • Condition: New
  • Notes: BRAND NEW FROM PUBLISHER! 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Tracking provided on most orders. Buy with Confidence! Millions of books sold!



Show Dogs: A Photographic Breed Guide Overview


The American Kennel Club recognizes over 160 breeds of dogs in seven categories: Hound, Working, Sporting, Non-sporting, Terrier, Toy and Herding. Thousands of Americans own purebred show dogs, and year round, local kennel clubs host events at which judges evaluate how closely individual dogs conform to breed standard. Ribbons and trophies are bestowed and points are accumulated. The penultimate event in a show dog s life is Westminster held in New York every year since 1877 which attracts hordes of visitors and an international media bonanza. In 2005 Life magazine assigned photographer Kate Lacey to cover Westminster. She decided that instead of documenting the scene, she would rig up a seamless backdrop to make elegant portraits, much as Richard Avedon once captured glamorous celebrities. Though partial to poodle mutt mixes herself, on this assignment Kate became entranced by show dogs, and their exquisite grooming and acclimatization to attention made them ready subjects. After the assignment ended, she continued traveling to dog shows in a quest to photograph every one of the AKC-recognized breeds. Some of the dogs in Show Dogs are veterans of years of shows, some are winners and some are losers and some are just puppies; but their achievements in the ring are not the point. With each portrait you ll just see the nickname given by the people who love them, not their official championship names, which convey their titles and lineage. The dogs in this book are like supermodels off duty, showing us a personal side in a candid moment. What we love about these dogs is not their fancy parentage and titles, but exactly what we love about every dog in our lives; their quirky and wonderful dogginess.

Dog Agility Training And Equipment

Dog Agility Training And Equipment Review






Dog Agility Training And Equipment Overview


Have more fun with your dog by turning him into a high-performance athlete, and increase his life span at the same time with these easy-to-learn dog agility training routines.

Under-active dogs have less endurance and stamina and are almost always overweight. This leads to increased strain on the heart, lungs and skeletal systems. When a dog's body has to work harder than it was intended to, sickness often follows close behind.

Dogs may look different than we do, but their bodies function pretty much the same as ours. Their hearts, lungs and other internal organs can suffer from physical neglect just like ours can.

A healthy diet and a good exercise program will do wonders for your dog and, to tell the truth, exercising your dog will go a long way towards keeping you in shape at the same time!

A domesticated dog's lifestyle isn't anything like a wolf's or coyote's. Wild canine relatives get all the exercise they need from hunting and staving off their enemies. Domestic dogs have a soft life and that typically shows up as poor muscle tone, reduced stamina and a big belly. Unless you own a working dog, you probably know exactly what I mean.

But let's face it. Exercise can be just as boring for dogs as it is for many people. But what if you could give your dog all the exercise he needed and do it in a way that could provide both of you some serious fun at the same time?
We're talking about agility training, a recognized competitive sport that pits dog and owner against other dogs and their owners in a competition to complete an obstacle course within a specified period of time.

Courses vary in design, but most of them include challenges like ramps, tunnels, see-saws and hurdles. Dogs are challenged to do things like weave through poles or run through a tunnel and then scale a ramp.

The sport demands teamwork between the dog who must perform all of the activities and the owner who is tasked with guiding the dog through the course as quickly as possible using basic commands.

It's just as much about the dog’s skill as the skill of the owner or handler.

Dog Agility Training and Equipment is designed for anyone who wants to:

Help their dog build strength and stamina.

Challenge themselves and their dogs to become winners.

Meet other dogs and owners in a friendly competitive environment.


Wouldn't you love to come home with a First Place ribbon that your dog earned with their skills and not their good looks and breeding?

The Whippet or Race Dog: Its Breeding, Rearing, and Training for Races and for Exhibition. (With Illustrations of Typical Dogs and Diagrams of Tracks) Overview


Originally published in 1904 this extremely scarce early work on the Whippet is both expensive and hard to find in this edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and illustrations as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. Freeman Lloyd was an expert on dogs and wrote several books on various breeds. This book on the whippet was his best, and is much sought after by true "whippeters." As a respected member of the National Whippet-Racing Club, he wrote from his wealth of experience of this wonderful little racing/hunting dog. The book consists of over a hundred pages divided into sixteen detailed chapters and is illustrated with vintage photos of typical dogs and diagrams of tracks, including an additional gallery of photos at the rear. Contents Include: Make, Shape and Characteristics. Breeding. The Whippet as a Snap-Dog. As a Race-Dog. As a Sporting Dog. As a Show Dog. As a Companion. Training. Tracks and Racecourses. Racing Rules. Management of Meetings. Tables of Times, Distances and Weights. The Rules of Handicapping. Kennels. Food and Clothing. Diseases. This is a fascinating read for any whippet 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.

We Give Our Hearts to Dogs to Tear: Intimations of their Immortality

We Give Our Hearts to Dogs to Tear: Intimations of their Immortality Review






We Give Our Hearts to Dogs to Tear: Intimations of their Immortality Overview


From the author of the classic book, Playing God in Yellowstone, comes a rare book about the relationship of dogs, people, and the land they inhabit. Alston Chase tells a deeply personal and exceptionally moving story of his relationship with his animal companions over a period of thirty years. The title of the book was inspired by the words of Rudyard Kipling: "When we are certain of sorrow in store/ Why do we always arrange for more/ Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware/ Of giving your heart to a dog to tear."

The book is at one level about the Jack Russell terriers Ifrit, Bungee, and their own friends as well as the people who nominally owned them and other dogs as well. Alston Chase tells of his search for the immortality of dogs, what makes them special, and why we willingly give them our hearts knowing that someday they'll die and leave us bereft.

Chase's connection to his dogs is strong as the pull of the land that he loves. He writes of both, and the spirits of both, as "inseparable ghosts." To Chase, land is a community of living things that is born and eventually dies, like dogs and people - but their spirits live on.

Rich in poetic citations, We Give Our Hearts to Dogs to Tear presents a deeply moving belief that though people and dogs may perish and the land may change beneath one's feet, the essence of each individual soul is immortal.
