Book excerpt: Written as a companion guide to 'The Patterdale Terrier' (first published 2004), The Patterdale Terrier Companion is also an interesting and informative stand-alone read which is based on over thirty years of careful research and practical experience. Patterdale terriers have become increasingly popular as working dogs, show dogs and family pets during the past few years and they remain one of the few breeds which, thanks to several modern-day breeders and those who knew the original breeders, has a history that is both traceable and quite recent. The history of the Patterdale terrier, including famous stud dogs and brood bitches of various strains, is comprehensively recorded throughout the pages of this fascinating book, but this must be considered as far more than just a dog-breed book, as the breeders themselves, indeed, the creators of the breed, Cyril Breay and Frank Buck in particular, are discussed in detail, making this essential reading for all who are interested in this type of terrier and in understanding the temperament and characteristics of today's Patterdale terriers. Much mystery has surrounded the development of the breed, which careful research has at last uncovered, particularly where Cyril Breay is concerned, who was a mysterious and secretive man. Choosing and naming a puppy, basic training, socializing, feeding, housing, breeding, exhibiting and working Patterdale terriers are all subjects which are well covered and there is also included a comprehensive list of names well suited to Patterdale terriers, which many readers will find most useful. A practical companion guide, this book is also a complete guide for all who enjoy the company of Patterdale terriers. AUTHOR: Sean Frain has been keeping, working and breeding terriers for the past thirty-five years or so and has become known for his terrier books and articles appearing in publications such as The Countryman's Weekly. He has also written for, among others, Dalesman and Cumbria Magazine. He is the author of over twenty books and is currently living close to the Cumbrian border where Patterdale terriers have been bred and worked for decades. He has also carefully researched the bloodlines of working breeds of terrier and those who have bred them, over the past thirty and more years. His previous books include: 'The Patterdale Terrier The Traditional Working Terrier' and 'Working Terriers'. b/w photographs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

It is more concerned with the working and companion qualities of the various English and Welsh breeds and with their origins than with show dogs and grooming. Cummins delves deeply into the history of the indigenous terriers of England and Wales (including some breeds that are no longer with us and others that are not yet recognized by national kennel clubs) to determine what they once were and what they are today. From the diminutive Yorkie to the majestic Airedale, the author explores similarities and differences of the gallant breeds that make up the English and Welsh terriers. With this information, prospective owners can make informed choices when choosing a canine companion while breeders have the knowledge needed to develop an improved breeding program. After reading The Terriers of England and Wales both owner and breeder will have a new appreciation for these finest of dogs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive compendium of canine varieties—from purebreds to designer doodles—from the acclaimed author of The Spirit of the Dog. One glance around the local park will confirm that man’s best friend comes in many varieties. As the first animal domesticated by humans, dogs have been selectively bred for tens of thousands of years to be herders, hunters, guard dogs, and friends. The result is a plethora of breeds that are as different as the pint-sized chihuahua and the massive St. Bernard. Now there is a guide to each of them. Dogs Unleashed contains all the information required to differentiate breeds of canine. From the standard poodle to the Finnish spitz, readers will become experts of identification. Alongside beautiful photography, discover information on conformation, history, temperament, health risks, and more. This book even contains a section on today’s designer breeds like the labradoodle, the puggle, and the cockapoo. Ideal for researching a new family pet, or for general knowledge, this book reveals which dogs are the most expensive to keep, which are the best swimmers, and which breed has the longest life expectancy.

Book excerpt: Welcome to the fascinating realm of ratting and pest control, where ancient techniques merge with contemporary practices in tackling one of mankind’s oldest adversaries. In this guide, we delve into the captivating history of ratting, tracing its roots from old civilisations up to the organised attempts at pest control by Victorian England. We are going to discuss how traditional ratting methods have evolved over time, how canines are important when it comes to managing pests, and new strategies used by modern-day rat catchers. In these sections, we reveal the cultural relevance as well as the evolutionary path that ratting practices have taken, thereby giving us a better understanding of why they still matter today. From the simple effectiveness of wooden traps to the strategic placement of poison baits, we examine time-honoured tactics passed down through generations. Additionally, we will also review some popular breeds of ratting dogs, like the Patterdale Terrier or the tenacious Jack Russell Terrier which will also be illuminated here, We will examine and take into account their history, traits and training methods. Nonetheless, rat control is not only a tradition it also embraces innovation. We will look at contemporary means of controlling rats, starting with developments in rodent detection technology and the introduction of integrated pest management techniques. We will also travel through some legal considerations, in order to ensure that rat catchers perform their job in a safe and ethical manner. This manual is for everyone; you may be an experienced rat catcher who wants to expand your knowledge or a newcomer who desires to explore the incredible world of rat control. Welcome to our international journey into the practice of ratting, where you can get acquainted with some of the tools, efficient procedures and traditional actions that make this art a mix of novelty and historical heritage. Together, let’s take up this challenge and work towards keeping our homes rodent-free zones so as to enhance safety and well- being for all.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 'Travel Narrative Book of the Year' in 2005 by the British Guild of Travel Writers (BGTW), The Coast Road presents an idiosyncratic and illuminating snapshot of England and what it is to be English today. In this travelogue, award-winning writer Paul Gogarty travels 3,000 miles in a motorhome, exploring intimate coastal communities and ruminating on the future of the English coast. All points of the compass are covered; after an unsettling benediction at Dover's Eastern Docks he travels to Derek Jarman's Dungeness; to rakish Brighton and Madame Rosina's Bournemouth; the mudflats and Arabian sands of the north- west, where he joins a roomful of George Formbys in Blackpool; the now infamous Morcambe Bay; Billy Butlin's Skegness; and a parachuting vicar. The journey comes full circle in the secret creeks of East Anglia. The Coast Road is a warm-hearted tribute to England's coastline written by a romantic spirit who beautifully captures both the idiosyncrasies of the nation and the euphoria of the open road.
