AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming edition of this technical work, passionate and richly illustrated, which explores the hunting universe through an in-depth study of breeds, behaviors, and uses of hunting dogs within the French context of the mid-20th century.
R. de Kermadec, an author specializing in rural sports and traditions, develops a detailed typology of hunting dogs, including pointers, retrievers, and game dogs, describing their origins, specific skills, morphologies, and temperaments. He emphasizes the selection criteria, training, and maintenance suited to each type of hunting — whether for feathered game, furred game, or hunting in plains, woods, or mountains.
The text, both didactic and imbued with a deep love for nature and hunting traditions, is accompanied by precise and expressive illustrations by François Castellan, which bring to life the postures, hunting scenes, and iconic breeds such as the setter, the pointer, the épagneul breton, or the griffon.
