5.0 out of 5 stars If you plan on getting a Dalmatian, this is the book for you, February 12, 2000

By A Customer

Most books on specific breeds available at the pet stores are written "generically." In other words, they don't really talk about the particular traits of the breed that are important for a new owner to know. This is a great book about a wonderful but often misunderstood breed by a well-know Dal breeder. She not only lets her reader know about how a typical Dal thinks and reacts, but also gives excellent information on diet which is important for this particular breed. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know more about the breed but doesn't want to invest in one of the more expensive Dalmatian books.
