Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Hardcover, illustrated, 480 pages
From the Inside Flap
"The Belgian Shepherd Dog has over a century of history behind it since it was first recognized as a breed by a group of dedicated breeders in various parts of Belgium. Much of the information and history abut the breed has been written in French. For most of us in America, this has presented a language problem. This book gives us a new opportunity to learn about the breed from the author who has more than 30 years experience owning and breeding these dogs. The information she imparts will be helpful to English-speaking devotees of the breed. Readers should enjoy travelling down the pages of this book "from start to finished!" (Mrs, Barbara A. Krohn- de Fauve Charbonne Belgians)

This review is from: Belgians from Start to Finished (Hardcover)
This book IS the best book on Belgians that I've found. With information on raising, training, showing, grooming, and breeding. Great pictures and information on all four "varieties" Sheepdog, Malinois, Tervuren and Laekenois. Don't miss out on this excellent book!

A "Must Have"!,
By Lynn South (Marengo, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Belgians from Start to Finished (Hardcover)
This book is one of the most comprehensive works on the Belgian Shepherd breeds/varieties yet written. Every Belgian owner should have it on their bookshelf. As a Belgian Sheepdog fancier of 25+ years, and possessor of several breed-related books, I find the information found in this book invaluable and recommend it to all my puppy buyers.

Comprehensive Look at Belgians,
This review is from: Belgians from Start to Finished (Hardcover)
I am very pleased with the depth of the coverage. This book offers a wealth of knowledge for beginners but has enough details for those who have been in the breed for awhile. I was slightly disappointed that almost all of the photos depicted the author's line. Although rightfully proud of her lineage, other breeders offer different but also correct structure and types of the breeds and should be offered for comparison. Also, at times, the author uses terms without adequate definition (like "European" type).
Overall, this is a wonderful book that will be kept for ready reference.
