Publisher Description:
THE SAINT BERNARD - A Presentation of the Origin, History and Development of this Noble Breed. Its Care, Training, Showing and Breeding. By Joseph H. Fleischli. Originally published in Chicago in the early 1930s, this scarce early work on the Saint Bernard is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and illustrations as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author was a noted show judge and breeder of champions. He writes with all the glow and enthusiasm of a true lover of this most noble of breeds. The Saint Bernard is a breed famous in story, legend and history and deserves nothing less. One hundred and ten pages contain ten Detailed chapters: Origin and History. History and Development of the Saint Bernard in America. Nature of the St. Bernard. Official Standard and its Interpretation. Breeding Principles. Whelping. Training. Health and Management. Showing. Profitable Kennel Management. The contents are well illustrated with numerous photographs and illustrations. This is a fascinating read for all breeders, exhibitors, owners and lovers of the Saint Bernard, which also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
