This book was very breed specific, terrific detail. I would recommend this book many times over to CC breeders and cc pet owners.

As someone who unexpectedly fell into Chinese Crested ownership, I was looking for some general information on the breed. This book was very helpful. There was a lot of information in it and a lot of photos of the different looks this breed can manifest. There was also a lot of information on breeding the dogs that wasn't useful for my particular situation. However, there also was some good info on the genetics of this sometimes strange beast, which helped me to understand why the breed is the way it is. A lot of the information on the quirks of the breed, I believe, is pertinent to the hairless variety but not the powderpuff and it was at times difficult to weed through and determine what to expect for my powderpuff. However, as a general information book on the breed, this book is very good and written by a long time judge and breeder. The book seems older, because the author uses older, black and white photos, but still very useful.I would love to see a newer edition published, with colour photos to show the different markings of the breed.

This is a very basic book on the breed. It is ok for someone who doesn't know anything about the Crested and the pictures are good but it doesn't give nearly enought detail information for people who already own a Crested.
