The Ninth Pup ~ Quail Plantation Stories
Combining the techniques of Robert Ruark. Anton Chekhov and O. Henry, Tom Word draws a portrait of Deep South quail plantations where for a century and a quarter, the very rich have relished hunting and fishing in the company of horses and mules, pointing dogs and retrievers, and sagacious countrymen in a tradition reminiscent of the great sporting estates of Great Britain.
“For anyone who loves to quail hunt or follows field trails... or who has friends that do, this book is a must have.”
“Great stories about field trial competition. If you love bird dogs dogs and competition, you will love this book.”
