Fills a real void in dog sport writing., Jun 4 2000
By Lori Ziemba "book worm" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gazehounds & Coursing: The History, Art and Sport of Hunting With Sighthounds (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Mr. Salmon relates much needed information on a rather esoteric subject. The easy to read, anecdote-filled style brings the sport to life. This is not a dry "how-to" book, although it IS loaded with information and good advice. It is very hard to find information on field coursing, and I'm grateful to the author for taking the time to write this book.

The reality of what dogs are meant to do!, Aug 9 2000
By elliott j farkas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gazehounds & Coursing: The History, Art and Sport of Hunting With Sighthounds (Hardcover)
This is a great book for anyone that has a purebred dog of any type. Dutch Salmon drives home the point on why breeding for show ruins a breed of dog and the real art and science in maintaining a breed (or cross breed)is to breed for function and that form will follow. If you own a sighthound breed or cross, this book will encourage you to get out there with your companion and use him or her to there potential. There are alot of books on chasing a lure around and most devote a small chapter on hunting, which is what these dogs are (or were, sadly) meant to do!! Lots of info on most of the popular breeds and the game they chase and sometimes even catch. Best of all, it's full of stories of the authors experiences in the field that read like poetry. Well worth the money. I can't wait to read Dutch Salmon's other books. This book should be given to all the show dog people who still think that bench champ can still do all the things it's ancestors could.

Greyhound Book, Mar 20 2010

This review is from: Gazehounds & Coursing: The History, Art and Sport of Hunting With Sighthounds (Hardcover)
A lot of history and pictires. I think every Greyhound owner should have this book. I learned about what makes a hound a certain type and appreciate that is also about how the different types interact with prey and why certain types are better after certain prey and certain terrain, etc.
Listmania!
