From Hoofbeats to DogstepsFrom Hoofbeats to Dogsteps

The inspiring memoir by Rachel Page Elliott, pioneer in the study of canine movement and a noted breeder and trainer of Golden Retrievers. From the author of Dogsteps. A New Look, the classic work on canine movement and structure. This is the memoir of the remarkable life one of dogdom's most beloved and respected leaders who changed how we evaluate movement in dogs. Born to a loving and educated New England family, Rachel Page Elliott, known to all as Pagey, was encouraged to develop her interests and talents wherever they would lead her. And lead her they did, to a life-long fascination with animals, first to horses, then to dogs. Each passion created adventures and opportunities that make her life story so fascinating. With a growing family and a farm in the country, Pagey bred and competed in a wide range of dog sports with her "Featherquest" Golden Retrievers. Her interests led her to the scientific study of canine structure and movement and ground-shaking research that changed, and is still changing, widely-held beliefs about how dogs move. Curl up with this reminiscence of the life of a woman ahead of her time in her independence and passionate study of her interests and be inspired to follow your own instincts to live life more fully!
