3.0 out of 5 stars The Basset Hound (The World of Dogs), 13 Jan 2003
I purchased this book when it first came out and indeed, our kennel is included. Although the basics of Basset owning are well covered and the production (glossy paper with very good colour photographs)is excellent, unfortunately there are a great many errors in the history of individual kennels. These are mainly due to lack of proof reading (ie typos)! As on ongoing history of the breed in the UK, this is a pity. For this reason I only give this book 3 stars. However it is a must for any serious Basset owner's library.

3.0 out of 5 stars More a book for the breeder than pet owner, 21 April 2001
By A Customer
This book is jam packed full of information relating to breeding your bassett, tracing linage and finding the best breeders all over the U.K.

For the new bassett owner, such as myself, it is not really recommended - the information was far too detailed and much of it was, unfortunately, not very relevant.

However if you are looking to purchase a bassett or, alternatively, thinking about breeding your bassett then this book would be invaluable.
