First published in 1928, this volume contains a timeless guide to breeding animals, with a special focus on breeding to type. Type breeding refers to breeding animals in order to produce traits that define certain breeds or are particularly desirable, with such characteristics usually being the basis for animal shows and competitions. This profusely-illustrated guide deals with all manner of animals ranging from dogs to cattle, and it will be of considerable utility to anyone with an interest in the subject. Contents include: “Breeding to Type”, “False Doctrines", "Pedigree", "Modern Heredity", "Mendelism", "Establishing a Strain", "Inbreeding", "Methods of Mating", "Colour", "Heredity and Disease", "Early Maturity", "Sterility", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.
