Good Chessie information; more specific to the breed,
By z15043@apsc.com (Bloomfield, New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chesapeake Bay Retrievers (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This new Barron's paperback is a much better guide to Chessie ownership than the Henschel book. References Chessie's throughout the book. Example: Specific guidelines on how to shop for a Chessie pup - not just pups in general, depending on your need - show, hunt, or companionship. This 100 page book will get you off to a good start, or help explain the Chessie's reputation, help with training, and increase your general understanding of this underappreciated breed. Get it!

I realy thought that this book was a great source of information! It told you how to groom and care for your chesepeake. It also said alot about where and how the breed originated. It is realy good for new Chessie owners.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chesapeake Bay Retrievers (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book--lots of information about the Chesapeake Bay Retriever breed and good pictures. It's the perfect book if you're new to the breed (like I was) and just want a general reference book about Chessies--or just want to know more about them.
