The perfect volume for all those who admire the most endearing of all sporting dogs: scenthounds

Scenthounds are the enthusiastic canine companions of all sportsmen who are thrilled by seeing a pack of hounds in full cry--watching these exceptional canine athletes exercising their delight in pursuing scent, whether real or artificial. Painstakingly researched and packed with information, this book covers both the well-known recognized breeds and more obscure ones. This book is not a manual covering training, grooming, nutrition, and dog care; it is very much a celebration of the hound's contribution to the sporting and companion dog scene, and an examination of their past, their performance, and their prospects in an increasingly urban society.
