Dear Mr. (or Mrs.) Wolfe,
by searching the Karlsruhe Virtual Catalog:
http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/hylib/en/kvk.html
I could find the following title of Vernet which could be helpful:
*Vernet, Carle: Recueil de douze chiens de diffirentes esphces
*S.l., s.a.. - 24 Bl.
*Enth.: Divers croquis de chevaux
(A copy of this title is held at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek at Munich)

Maurin.
