5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Dog Book, May 11, 2004

This review is from: Bloodhounds (Dogs Set V.) (Hardcover)

Starts with the history of Bloodhounds in Belgium at St. Hubert's monastery, where Bloodhounds were known as St. Huberts. Discusses the temperament and has a detailed description of the breed. There is a section of proper care including need for veterinary care, good food, exercise, and love. See the fabulous detail of the writing, "Today, about 400 different dog breeds exist....Some can weigh as much as 200 pounds (91 kg). Others are small enough to fit in the palms of your hands. Despite these differences, all dogs belong to the same scientific family. It is called Canidae. This name comes from the Latin word canis, which means dog." Finally, Bloodhounds looks at puppies and getting a dog. The glossary is very good and the web site www.adpub.com is recommended for further information. Good index.
