It first started in 1836 and attracts thousands of spectators to watch and gamble on the coursing matches. It was founded by William Philip Molyneux, 2nd Earl of Sefton, and, originally, was supported by his patronage. This short volume contains more information on the cup as well as the winners and runners-up.
“Dogs and I” is a collection of the authors anecdotes, musings and recollections related to dogs, specifically breeding and showing them.
