Everything you wish you knew about Persians,
By Song & story lover (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Persian (Book of the Breed S) (Hardcover)
Synopsis:
A reference to keeping Persian cats which offers advice for the breeder, exhibitor and pet owner on caring for these pedigree animals and includes a history of the breed. In this book, two world-class experts, one British and one American, draw on their combined experience as breeders and judges of Persians to provide the most comprehensive study of Persians so far published. Thompson and Wickham-Ruffle look at the origins and evolution of the breed, give invaluable advice on choosing a Persian, and discuss how to groom and care for it. There are chapters on breeding and judging as well, with an in-depth analysis of the Breed Standard. Illustrations, which feature a stunning color section, include a gallery of outstanding examples of Persians from the early days of the Fancy to the present day. Written for the breeder, judge and owner, this is the book that all Persian enthusiasts have been waiting for.
