"This book is designed to acquaint the prospective hunting dog owner with the characteristics of the numerous hunting breeds so that he may choose the dog best suited for his particular requirements. It does not concern itself with several breeds listed by the American Kennel Club under the Sporting Dogs (Hounds) Group, such as the Afghan Hound, the Saluki, the Basenji, the Dachsund, the Borzoi, the Scottish Deerhound, the Greyhound and the irish Wolfhound. These are all hunting dogs in their native elements but are seldom used for hunting purposes in North America. The many breeds described herein are all practical, seriveable members of the American hunting dog kennel, all capable of exceedingly useful work on upland game and/or waterfowl."
