Training of the True Versatile Hunting Dog and its Handling in the Hunting Practice

This edition is the more economical version of the hardcover original. The content is exactly the same, but by accepting non-premium pictures and a paperback we have been able to reduce printing costs and thereby are able to offer it at a cheaper price.

The idea of the versatile hunting dog was born more than 100 years ago. It envisions a hunting dog which can complete all tasks before and after the shot in field, water and forest. This book offers a comprehensive concept to choose the appropriate pup, imprint it, train it, pass the working tests and prevail in the hunting practice. A main focus lies on hunting big game, while retaining all the tradtional skills to hunt small game. Therefore the author emphasises a comprehensive imprinting, as well as stimulating the young dog's self-reliance. The education is meant to be fair and caring without softening dog and training. At last tips are offered for handling the dog in the practice and especially for tracking wounded big game.
