5.0 out of 5 stars Dachshunds, May 6, 2007

By	David H. Golden - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a recent owner of Dachshunds (a male and two females)with the intent to breed each female at least once, this was one of the most informant books I have read. There are lots of good books available, but I found this to have most of the information under one cover.
