This comprehensive, step-by-step guide is for anyone interested in owning or working pointing dogs. Aimed at complete novices and those with more experience, it is easy to read, and written with great enthusiasm for the subject.
It helps you select a breed and source good breeders, choose your puppy, and covers its early socialisation and care - then clearly describes how to train each aspect of the pointing dog's work. Completing the 'full circle' it moves on to breeding future generations.
Lavishly illustrated with over 80 full-colour photographs and diagrams, it also has helpful, fault-solving charts.
