This edition was extremely popular with Russian hunters, so the first edition of the book sold out very quickly. When presenting the material, the author did not go so much into the theory of this issue, as he preferred the practical way of presenting the topic, especially since the material for writing this publication was carefully checked by the author on his own experience as a passionate dog lover. The publication pays great attention to the upbringing of the dog, the content and training without beating, as well as the choice of the dog and its description, the main things that should be guided when purchasing a dog/puppy. The rest of the essay is devoted to the training of police dogs (divided into five sections); diseases and treatment of dogs; other information on the content, taming and device of the dog. With the application of the description of breeds of hunting dogs and Russian canine hunting. Translated from the German Westerik A. I. (1844-1906)-Lieutenant General, participant in the suppression of the Polish uprising, head of the 3rd district of the border guard in Odessa.
