"Mr. Free writes from a first-hand knowledge of the management of a small kennel and has taken great pains to record those details which are of interest to every person who keeps a dog. Much of the information given has been acquired as the result of bitter experience and the reader who is about to start a kennel will save himself much labour and expense by a close study of the author's well-proved methods, which he describes so vividly". Chapters include: The kennels; Food and feeding; The bitch in whelp; The rearing of puppies; Discipline and training; Sport, the purpose of the kennel; Health in the kennel; Kennel requisites; Kennel records; Glossary of terms - the sport, the hound and terrier, the countryside; Hound and terrier names; A short list of interesting books; Appendix on puppy rearing.
