About this book
The book addresses sporting dogs, their points and their management in health and disease, with illustrations drawn from photographs. The description of the Pointer calls for long forearms with plenty of bone and muscle, medium-length pasterns and hard soles. The discussion of the Pointer's tail specifies strength at its attachment, a gradual taper to a fine point and carriage level with the back.
The account gives steel-grey or blue, silver-grey, and fawn as colours for the Skye. The coat discussion requires an outer coat reaching the ground for the show bench, but calls that length objectionable for work. The treatment of gunshot wounds distinguishes shots lodged beneath the skin from injuries penetrating the flesh and possibly the internal organs.
