Notes: "Louise Petrie-Hay charts the history and development of each of the gundog breeds from their early beginnings to the present day. She discusses the suitability of particular breeds for the types of shooting available and gives advice on selecting, breeding, rearing and general care. She goes on to cover training principles with specific points relating to the main breeds working today: retrievers, spaniels, pointers and pointer/retrievers. Finally, she includes a chapter on rules, regulations and judging."
