5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best book on the subject to date!, 7 Sep 1999
By A Customer
The authors have created a work that EVERY prospective dog owner should read! Kilcommons and Wilson are frank and brutally honest in their discussion of dogs: who should get a dog, what dog ownership REALLY entails, why some people would be better off with a stuffed toy instead, and which breed to consider and where to obtain that dog. As a breeder and as a Rescue worker, it is very heartening to see the truth told about our particular breed. If people read this book, perhaps they would NOT choose our breed, and we would have far fewer "throw-away" pets to rescue and re-home.

The authors have created an exceptional book! They are right on the money with their appraisal of each breed discussed, and furthermore, the book is fun to read! Thumbs up to this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars I thought this book was very good but too selective., 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
I appreciated the candor the authors used in describing the different breeds they covered in their review. I think their scope was too narrow however and they could have included more breeds than they did. For example - Irish Terriers are wonderful family dogs but they are not listed. Sure they are not common but neither are Borzois which are listed. Still I think the book is an excellent resource for someone searching for a dog breed.
