Dog Breaking
The Most Expeditious, Certain, and Easy Method, Whether Great Excellence or Only Mediocrity Be Required, With Odds and Ends for Those Who Love the Dog and Gun
Dog Breaking, first published in 1848 and given here in its revised and enlarged fourth edition of 1865, is a manual by Major-General W. N. Hutchinson, formerly colonel of the Grenadier Guards, on training sporting dogs for the gun. Promising the most expeditious, certain and easy method, whether great excellence or only mediocrity be required, he explains how to train pointers, setters and retrievers in the yard and in the field: to come to call, to drop, to quarter their ground, to point steadily and to retrieve without damaging game. Lively anecdotes and odds and ends on shooting, keepers, poachers and game rearing fill the margins of a practical book. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
