As
hunting generates such fierce debate in Britain today, it
seems an appropriate moment to examine the two best
classical works on the subject. For both authors hunting was
primarily for hares with hounds. Xenophon describes the
establishment needed, how to use it in the field and
justifies hunting as the first part of education and the
best training for war. Arrian's treatise, some five hundred
years later, is a commentary on Xenophon's; to bring it
up-to-date, as he says. He describes the revolution in
hunting that the introduction of gaze-hounds had caused and
many charming anecdotes about his hunting experiences and
his favourite hound. Both give a vivid picture of the daily
life of two wealthy Greeks at leisure which the modern
huntsman will find familiar. |

W. V. Soman |
The Indian Dog |
Popular Prakashan |
Here
for the first time a revealing light is thrown on a totally
neglected subject - Indian Dog. Much literature on the
foreign varieties of canine breeds is available and the dog
lovers in India are very often inclined to prefer these
breeds. But Maj. W. V. Soman points out that India too can
boast of a wide variety of breeds equally fine, impressive,
strong and useful, allowing a vast choice for selection for
different purposes. He describes them in detail and suggests
that with sincere efforts and scientific application the
breeding of dogs of Indian origin can give improved and well
typed out progenies within a few years. A catalogue of
forty-three art plates showing the different varieties of
Indian breeds is appended to this book. |

Dogs: A new understanding
of canine origin, behavior and evolution
ISBN 0-226-11563-1 |
The University of Chicago
Press
www.press.uchicago.edu |
Biologists, breeders and trainers, and champion sled dog
racers, Raymond and Lorna Coppinger have more than four
decades of experience with literally thousands of dogs.
Offering a scientifically informed perspective on canines
and their relations with humans, the Coppingers take a close
look at eight different types of dogs - household, village,
livestock guarding, herding, sledpulling, pointing,
retrieving, and hound. They argue that dogs did not evolve
directly from wolves, nor were they trained by early humans;
instead they domesticated themselves to exploit a new
ecological niche: Mesolithic village dumps. Tracing the
evolution of today's breeds from these village dogs, the
Coppingers show how characteristic shapes and behaviors -
from pointing and baying to the sleek shapes of running dogs
- arise from both genetic heritage and the environments in
which pups are raised. |

De Canibus: Dog and Hound
in Antiquity |
J. A. Allen & Co. |
The decline of letters
which set in after the fourth century A.D. led to nothing
being written on the subject of the dog and hound for almost
exactly a thousand years and one of the objects of this book
is to try and fill in this wide gap in canine history. In
addition, an endeavour has been made to trace the descent of
some of the modern breeds of sporting dogs back to their
ancient forebears, and at the same time an occasional glance
has been directed at the diseases to which the flesh of dogs
has always been unfortunately heir. |

The Story of the African
Dog
ISBN 1-86914-024-9 |
University of Natal Press
(2002) |
The African dog, or
Africanis, is the original domestic dog of southern Africa,
whose ancient origins can be traced back to the prehistoric
wild wolf packs of Arabia and India. This unique and
fascinating study recreates for us the journey of the dog's
primitive canine ancestors, from their earliest presence at
the fire of Stone Age humans, through the evolution from wolf
to protodog to domestic dog and subsequent migration into
the African continent with nomadic Neolithic herders. |
