Whether at rest, work, or play, or hamming it up for the camera, Jack Russell terriers can’t help but be adorable. Originally bred as hunting dogs in 19th-century England, these days they spend more time chasing photo ops than foxes—at least in the world of photographer Andy Hughes, who spends his days canine-spotting across the UK and U.S. to document the intelligence, tenacity, and quirky personalities of these endearing animals. A somewhat embarrassing discovery—that Hughes had more photos of dogs than people—led him to celebrate his dog’s-eye view of life, culminating in a trip to the Sunshine State Jack Russell Terrier Club Trials in Florida to capture the paws célèbre in motion. The playful and spontaneous shots in I, Jack Russell are accompanied by Hughes’s happy musings about the hounds that have him spellbound. Contributions by two renowned dog experts set the photos in context. Meer info

Discover the real bully dogs and the truth about these often-misunderstood yet ever-popular canines. The whole fraternity of bully breed owners and devotees will revel in this long-overdue celebration of the six bull-and-terrier dogs that are the focus of this Kennel Club Classic edition. With eye-popping photographs and the spot-on narrative provided by world-renowned author, judge and bully breed historian Dr. David Harris, The Bully Breeds tells the true story of these controversial dogs, from rats to riches. Trace the bullies from their beginnings as illegitimate participants in bull-baiting rings, ratting matches and dog-fighting pits to their rise to respectable employment as companions, athletes, show dogs and service dogs. Meet the descendants of the original bull-and-terrier dogs--gladiators that combined the strength and power of the Bulldog with the agility, speed and intelligence of the terrier--who today are among the world's most devoted purebred dogs, the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Boston Terrier, Bull Terrier, Miniature Bull Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. In this tenacious and somewhat stubborn sextet, we befriend the truest of canine comrades, whose affection, loyalty and sense of humor make them endure as great champions. Additionally, Dr. Harris introduces us to about a dozen "new" bully breeds that are developing today as breeders aim to recreate the Bulldogge of old. The Bully Breeds is an insider's account of life with a bully, highlighting the characteristics, abilities and accomplishments of these breeds. The author also examines the concerns of modern-day bully owners, including breed-specific legislation and the responsibility to own dogs that are good ambassadors for their breeds. As the subject of celebrated paintings and sculptures, the bully breeds have enjoyed prominence in artwork through the centuries. This valid aspect of the breeds' history is discussed here in an elaborately illustrated chapter contributed by the world's top expert in canine art, William Secord. Meer info
