excellent information

Having a 5 month old Crested puppy, I purchased this book to find out more about the breed, and I did. Yes, you can surf the web and get info, but in this book, the information is all together in one spot. The book is well organized and gives general information on almost every topic. What I liked about this book over other books is the fact that the book gives the differences between the hairless and the powderpuff, which is what my puppy is. For every new Crested owner, this is a great reference book.

great read for the crested lover!

I have come across millions of crested books, and this is by far my favorite. it is extremely informative, and very detailed. the pictures are great. it covers everything you would need to know, right down to alot of diseases, illness's, flea treatment, things not just associated with the breed. the history section was FABULOUS! great pictures, great book, worth every penny.

Excellent book about Chinese Crested!

I am going to be owning one of these dogs very soon and I wanted to have as much information about them as possible. This book provided history (such as all American line Chinese Crested can be traced to Gypsy Rose Lee!) as well as health, grooming and training information. I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted to learn more about this wonderful breed.

Really very informative about every subject!

This Book is just great because it has a lot of good structured information in it about almost every thing. I also like a lot that it has a lot detailed medical info with tips and advise about (even natural) treatments and preventions. I think its oneof the best dog books I ever read without the book being too huge/redundant.
