Dogs And All About Them is a comprehensive guide to the world of dogs, written by Robert Leighton. The book covers a wide range of topics related to dogs, including their history, breeds, characteristics, behavior, training, and care. The author provides detailed information on over 200 dog breeds, including their origins, physical characteristics, and temperaments. He also offers practical advice on selecting a dog, training and socializing puppies, and caring for adult dogs. In addition, the book includes chapters on dog shows, breeding, and health issues. Dogs And All About Them is a valuable resource for dog owners, breeders, trainers, and anyone interested in learning more about man's best friend.Many years ago Mr. Alfred de Rothschild tried, through his agents in China, to secure a specimen of the Palace dog for the writer, in order to carry on the Goodwood strain, but without success, even after a correspondence with Pekin which lasted more than two years; but we succeeded in obtaining confirmation of what we had always understood: namely, that the Palace dogs are rigidly guarded, and that their theft is punishable by death. At the time of the Boxer Rebellion only Spaniels, Pugs, and Poodles were found in the Imperial Palace when it was occupied by the Allied Forces, the little dogs having once more preceded the court in the flight to Si-gnanfu.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
