For centuries, the agricultural success of civilisations across the globe has relied upon the intelligence, stamina and unwavering loyalty of the farm dog. While sporting breeds have long enjoyed scholarly attention, the diverse and indispensable working dogs of the farm have often been overlooked. In this insightful volume, David Hancock redresses the balance, celebrating the remarkable animals that have served as guardians, herders, drovers and hunters.
From the world-renowned Border Collie to the sturdy heeling dogs of the British Isles and the formidable flock guardians of the Caucasus, this book provides a fascinating exploration of the evolution of pastoral breeds. Discover how these dogs were shaped not by fashion or cosmetic appeal, but by the functional demands of life on the land. By examining their history, roles and the ancient partnership between man and canine, the author pays tribute to the working wisdom of these essential companions. This is an essential read for anyone with an interest in rural heritage, canine history and the profound impact these hardworking dogs have had upon our global agricultural traditions.
