Jack Russell Terriers and Their Friends - Delightful Photographs (Hardcover)

Beginning in the nineteenth century, when the hunting parson Reverend Jack Russell first bred the terrier that bears his name, these dogs have become great favorites of all species of creatures, from their owners and friends and neighbors to other canine breeds, cats, barnyard animals, and especially horses. Widely popular as both working and companion animals, Jack Russell Terriers can be found scampering around stables, dashing along riding trails, and at the rail of equestrian competitions of all varieties.
With more than fifty color and black-and-white photos of terriers in action and in repose--to the extent that these perpetual-motion machines are ever in repose!--and accompanied by evocative literary quotations, Jack Russell Terriers and Their Friends is the perfect companion for everyone whose life is touched by or entwined with these loveable creatures.
