Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ...to any such present-day supposition, our practical readers may confidently be referred to Lord Saltoun's experience (given in a previous chapter) that "a 31-inch height" went along with firstrate efficiency on the hill; and to Mr Menzies of Chesthill, who, in stalking with dogs at least as large, " never saw better, although he had seen bigger ones" do well; also to other like cases cited throughout. True, general forest precedent would doubtless tend against size, along with its cognate points of speed and courage, under 1 See especially Colonel Hamilton Smith's two masterly volumes; also Martin (Knight's Weekly Volume Series). preference for mere use in "beating," tracking, "baying," and retrieving at large, as quite subordinate to that brilliant marksmanship which the new Express rifle facilitates. But from innumerable circumstances already adduced, no one can fail to see that a much wider and more exciting field has opened abroad, where the very opposite becomes growingly the case; while, moreover, in order to meet its full demand, there are at any rate numerous English homebreeders who can and will produce what is here indicated as the chief appliance required to make foreign wild sport enjoyable to the full. Under the wider zoological aspect now in view, a strong argument would thus appear to come up, on the side of those who controvert the long-entertained hypothesis that this dog is originally of wolf origin. Other objections apart, the wolf, like the hyena, stands disproportionately high at shoulder, and even then does he seldom attain an average of from 27 to 29 inches in height, his ordinary "running weight" being from about 60 or 70 to 80 or 90 lb., though one monster of 110...

Book Description
This book (Scottish Deerhound) provides you with a through description and positive attributes of this breed including origin, purpose, history, normal heights and weights, acceptable colors and behavioral traits. Our books differ from most books on dog breeds because this book also provides you with a comprehensive and authoritative source of all the known predisposed hereditary health syndromes for the breed. You will find extensive references for each problem described. We also provide the breed club address for this breed and a list of laboratories and organizations that can provide professional help and information. As a small animal veterinarian, I have always been intrigued by the way dogs have been bred to fill a purpose in life and further impressed that they also tend to love performing that service. Greyhounds and other sight hounds are built for speed with aerodynamic bodies consisting of small head, deep chest, narrow waist and large leg muscles. On the other hand Dachshunds take their name from German words meaning badger dog and they use their long nose, long body and short legs to both track, enter and dig into badger dens. After developing a practice that catered to clients with show dogs, my interest in each breed continued to grow as I studied and observed more and more about the unique predisposition and incidence of health problems in each breed. Breeders of purebred dogs for show were a challenge and inspirational for me to research and help them with their unique health problems. Historically references to hereditary problems are scattered throughout various Veterinary medical texts and journals such as ophthalmology, neurology, gastroenterology, cardiovascular and dermatology. This book, as well as the other books and articles I have written, is researched and compiled with the intention to provide both veterinarians and dog owners with comprehensive and authoritative predisposition information under the breed name. At the date of this publication, The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation and the The Kennel Club of England reports over 400 known hereditary health syndromes throughout the dog kingdom. At the writing of my first book in 1983, less than 50 hereditary issues are able to be predicted and or diagnosed. Sequencing of the canine genome, DNA tests, metabolic testing including blood tests and urine testing; plus, phenotypic examinations such as radiographs, ultrasound, and CERF or OFA eye registry exams by a Board Certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist have advanced the science of breed related health and behavioral problems. This book will provide veterinarians, researchers, pet owners and breeders with a comprehensive guide to all the known problems veterinarians and dog owners should consider during pet selection and throughout each life stage of our canine friends.
