The old saying "you're suppose to learn something new everyday and you are never too old to learn something new" applies to this book. I am a past breeder of hunting dogs. You think training and grooming and feeding correctly that after a time, you feel very confident in your knowledge when a book like this comes along and challenges your brain! Believe me, I have read many a book about dogs, covering a wide range of topics. My husband actually bought our granddaughter a copy while out shopping. I skimmed the book on our drive home and knew I had to have a copy. I ordered my copy from Amazon when we returned home. She loves animals and enjoys all my dogs. So it has been fun talking about what we learned as we read it. She is amazed that I am still learning and refreshing my mind at my age. (I am 66 and she is 7!!)
