Reviews
"FROM THE FIRST issue of Country Life in 1897—when the Princess of Wales posed with her borzoi—to today, dogs have been stitched into the magazine’s very fabric, a constant presence in its pages and in the lives of its readers. Country Life’s Book of Dogs by Agnes Stamp, published by Rizzoli, gathers that long affection into an illustrated tour of Britain’s canine heritage, guided by breed histories, anecdotes, and photographs that range from field to fireside. It follows the Royal Kennel Club’s groupings—hounds, terriers, gundogs, pastoral (herding) dogs, utility, and toys—inviting the reader to wander from otterhounds and pointers to corgis and pugs with the same delight one might feel crossing a country lawn...In his foreword, Royal Kennel Club chairman Tony Allcock underscores the book’s timely purpose: to celebrate beloved companions while shining a light on Britain’s “vulnerable native breeds,” the worthy but overlooked dogs that once worked our fields and guarded our thresholds." — QUEST MAGAZINE
