The Dog

The Dog by William Youatt is a comprehensive guide to the history, breeding, and care of dogs. First published in 1845, this classic work has been updated and revised over the years to reflect changes in dog breeds and husbandry practices. The book begins with a discussion of the origin of dogs and their evolution from wolves, and then goes on to cover the various breeds of dogs, their characteristics, and the best methods for breeding and raising them. Youatt also provides practical advice on feeding, training, and caring for dogs, including tips on grooming, exercise, and health care.
