This review is from: Dog Breeding as a Fine Art (Paperback)

Even as Amy Fernandez receives additional awards for this book, it becomes harder and harder to find. Perhaps a publisher would like to pick up a quick bundle by republishing Amy's book? The Chinese Crested community would appreciate having it made available.
