Ashton Cross

The Pekingese Dog Ashton Cross

Originally privately published by the author in 1932. The author was a well known dog breeder and expert on the Pekingese. This extremely well illustrated book contains many detailed chapters on: History of the Breed - The Typical Pekingese - Buying - Training - Housing - Care in Health - Care in Sickness - Breeding - Showing - Judging - The Commercial Side - Pedigrees - Clubs - Directory of Breeders etc. Many of the earliest dog books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
