Gun-Dog Training - Pointing Dogs by Kenneth C Roebuck
I found this a fascinating read, particularly as it gives an insight into how different shooting with dogs can be in different parts of the World.
How the Americans do it
I think most gundog handlers in Britain would enjoy reading this book, if only to see how the author uses pigeons and quail for training his young dogs to point.
This is a very comprehensive and readable book, that I recommend.
