Book Description
Dogs of the Shepherds is a book for all those who admire the most valuable of all the working dogs, the pastoral breeds: sheepdogs, cattle dogs and flock protection dogs, the indispensable farmer's servants and companion dogs for thousands of proud dog-owners across the globe. Painstakingly researched and packed with information, this book is not a manual covering training, grooming, nutrition and dog care; it is very much a reflective review of the pastoral dogs' contribution to the working and companion dog scene. It is a searching examination of their past, their performance and their prospects in an increasingly urban society. Essential reading for all those with an interest in these handsome and quite admirable dogs, and lavishly illustrated throughout.

Book Description
From the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey comes the Anatolian Shepherd Dog, a rugged, powerful guard dog who possesses both agility and endurance. Standing 29 inches at the shoulder and weighing up to 150 pounds, the Anatolian Shepherd is an impressive working dog and one of the most adaptable canines in the world, having been developed in the most demanding environs of his homeland. This Special Limited Edition is the only book of its kind dedicated to this noble Turkish breed, written by well-known dogman Richard G. Beauchamp. With specific instructions on selecting a puppy, rearing, housebreaking and training the dog, this colorful book is a much-needed addition to the existing information on the Anatolian Shepherd breed.

Book Description
Originally published in Germany in 1923, “The German Shepherd Dog in Word and Picture” is the English translation of what is probably the most important book ever published on this popular breed. This volume is highly recommended for owners and breeders alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “The Shepherd dog and Herdsman’s dog, their Origin and Relationship”, “The Nature and Service of the Shepherd Dog”, “Breeding”, “Rearing”, “Judging”, “Training”, “Kennels”, etc Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
