The Whippet Handbook - Giving the Early and Contemporary History of the Breed, Its Show Career, Its Points and Breeding (a Vintage Dog Books Breed Cla

Bred from greyhound stock by the working men of northern England, the Whippet is a small, swift sighthound and a keen show dog. In The Whippet Handbook, W. Lewis Renwick sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.

First published in the mid-twentieth century, W. Lewis Renwick's account sets the Whippet's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.

Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Whippet owners, breeders and breed historians.

This edition features:

• Traces the origins and history of the Whippet. • Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard. • Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management. • Restored from the original text and illustrations.
