ABOUT THE BOOK: Three successful trainers and handlers of pointers and setters in field trials have combined their knowledge to produce a book that aims, as Professor Beazley says in his preface, “to provide would-be trainers of setters and pointers with a reliable source of information from which they may obtain guidance in the preparation of bird dogs for field trials.”
It discusses the purpose and style of bird dogs, gives excellent advice on, among other things, general training, pointing, roading and flushing game; has a chapter on judging, which indicates to prospective competitors some of the more widely accepted principles on which field trial judges make their decisions; and finally gives some very useful information about field trials. Enthusiasts, whether experienced or not, will welcome this book.
