The first book ever devoted to the breed, written in 1914 by the woman who made a speciality of the blue.Lady Dunbar of Mochrum bred and studied Chows for many years, and The Chow Chow, published in 1914, is the earliest monograph on them: history and origins, characteristics, the colours - with particular attention to the blue variety she was known for - management, ailments, breeding and rearing, the coat, training, and the breed as a sporting dog.The breed had come to Britain through the East India trade, gathered royal attention in the 1880s and had a club of its own by 1895, so a 1914 monograph catches it just as the English fancy was taking it seriously. It is still cited by Chow historians as the foundation text.This edition features: The first book devoted solely to the breed, first published in 1914Colour, coat and type, with a specialist's account of the blue varietyManagement, ailments, breeding and rearing, from years of the author's own practiceIllustrated with photographs of the leading dogs of the period
