Under the motto: "The hunting dog should be a useful and lovable companion in the field, but not an athlete," a hunting dog book has been created that has all the potential to become the standard work for the coming decades: "Dogs – the better hunters. Breeds, training, hunting" by Andreas Gass. The author makes a bold selection of breeds that he still recommends to hunters today. Breeds that have been eliminated through beauty breeding are no longer mentioned. New guidelines for breeding are discussed. Over 50 accurate color photos show the dogs in their rightful environment, namely in the field. Entertaining portrait photos of real "characters" among the dogs complete this book.
