Well illustrated with b/w photos, diagrams and maps. Exhaustively researched breed history. The Boer farmers and Rhodesian big-game hunters who nurtured the breed in its infancy did not have time to document their progress; for that, Helgesen turns to the huge body of period literature, from the memoirs of Victorian hunters to early breed accounts in Bulawayo newspapers. And nowhere will one find a more complete profile - not to mention a photograph - of Cornelius van Rooyen, whose breeding program formally created the famous 'African lion dog' to satisfy the hunting needs of his pack.
