5.0 out of 5 stars I am buying a second copy., February 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: THE COMPLETE PAPILLON (Book of the Breed) (Hardcover)

There are really very few current books on Papillons. I originally bought a copy of this book for my mother in England. She has a papillon and has found the book very useful. I am now about to buy a copy for myself. The authors are well established breeders and judges of papillons in the UK. They cover everything from grooming and care of a papillon to the history of the breed and even papillon collectables. The illustrations are good. The survey of the chief Papillon bloodlines in the UK and USA is not comprehensive (but if it was the book would have been far less easy to read). There is a singular lack of the generic dog information that marrs many other breed handbooks. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in papillons. It would be a good book for someone who is thinking of buying/adopting a papillon to read before deciding if this is the right dog for him/her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worthwhile, if you can find one., September 27, 1999

This review is from: The Complete Papillon (Hardcover)

This book is excellent, wish it had more on the life changes of this breed of dog, but on the whole, an excellent overview.
