| Summary | "Sporting Dogs: Their Points and Management in Health and Disease" by Frank Townend Barton is a comprehensive guide on the breeding, training, and health management of various sporting dog breeds, written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a companion to Barton's previous writings on non-sporting and toy dogs, providing detailed insights into the distinctive traits, handling, and training techniques necessary for sporting breeds. It covers a range of breeds popular among sportsmen, exploring their physical characteristics, historical backgrounds, and practical applications in the field. The opening of the text introduces the English Pointer, tracing its ancestry to the Spanish Pointer and Southern Hound, and highlights its importance in sporting scenarios. Barton outlines the key physical features, temperament, and areas of care that aspiring breeders and trainers should focus on when selecting and managing Pointers. It emphasizes the significance of training in close partnership with the handler and suggests that prospective owners should trial their dogs before purchase to ensure suitability for their shooting activities. As a whole, this section sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of various sporting dog breeds, discussing their management in both health and disease.
