Dog Breaking is a nineteenth-century manual on training gun dogs, written by Major-General W. N. Hutchinson. It offers practical methods for breaking retrievers, spaniels, setters, and other sporting breeds, with advice for hunters who value both dog and gun. It is worth listening to for its window into Victorian field sports and traditional training techniques.
