5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for those who bought their first Shar-Pei, March 24, 1999

This review is from: The Chinese Shar-Pei: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

This is a great book for all who just love Shar-Pei and whant a first guide. It gives all informations in a straightforward way. It is easy to read and cheap. I just wouldn't recommend it to professional breeders, those who want to make breeding Shar-Pei a profession.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good thing the book is not expensive, March 23, 2000

This review is from: The Chinese Shar-Pei: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

Although this book was not bare, it should have a more information for people who were wanting even some basic information on the Shar-pei. To me, it read like a book who's author did the research on the breed, but who had no first hand knowledge in owning the Shar-pei.
