Celebrate the timeless bond between people and their canine companions with Country Life’s Book of Dogs, a beautifully illustrated volume that captures over a century of dogs as seen through the pages of Country Life magazine. From loyal working dogs in the field to elegant companions lounging in stately homes, this book is both a tribute to beloved breeds and a portrait of English country life.
Organized according to Royal Kennel Club classifications, the book profiles 70 dog breeds, including hounds, terriers, gundogs, herding dogs, toys, and utility breeds. Each entry pairs stunning modern and archival photographs with breed histories, anecdotes, and charming lore.
Readers will encounter stories of iconic estates such as Badminton House, Castle Howard, and Holkham Hall, along with glimpses of the Royal Family and their dogs at Balmoral, Windsor Castle, and Highgrove. The book also raises awareness about vulnerable breeds at risk of extinction, such as the Norwich terrier and otterhound, while honoring beloved non-native breeds tied to British nobility, from Queen Victoria’s cherished Pomeranians to aristocratic pugs.
Elegantly designed and rich with history, this volume offers dog lovers, Anglophiles, and design enthusiasts alike a heartwarming look at the enduring role of dogs in culture and country living.
