In Hunting Laika Breeds of Russia Beregovoy addresses their origins (barking hunting spitz used on a variety of game), discusses four breeds in depth (Karelo-Finnish Laika, Russo-European Laika, West Siberian Laika and East Siberian Laika), their foundation stock, relationship, similarities, differences, hunting styles and how they interact with the people who use them. Their character - a topic often left out of typical breed encyclopedia entries or reference works - is thoroughly explained and put into perspective. There are in-depth details of physical and physiological characteristics and the changes that occur over time and with the interference of civilized society. Topics covered for each breed include life in country of origin, confinement, diet, interaction with people and animals, reproduction, attitude toward other dogs, domesticated and wild animals, and health. The author is keen on maintaining the correct selective perspective in keeping these breeds as authentic and functional workers. There are several black and while photos of the dogs in action.
The author is both a scientist and a serious dog person, with significant, practical, first hand experience of living and hunting with traditional people who depended on their dogs for their subsistence. A true cynologist, although he does not call himself one, the author merges two diverse yet complimentary areas of knowledge in his passion for primitive dogs.
The references and bibliography are as solid as they come, and should provide a pared down reading list for those with as serious an interest. Highly recommended.
