As both a dog owner and writer, I never knew there were so many varied web sites for research and, even better at times, just for fun. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves and/or writes about dogs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting idea, but ..., November 25, 1999

.... definitely take the sites recommended for specific breeds with a few grains of salt - not everyone who advertises themselves as a breeder on the web and uses all the right buzzwords is a responsible, respected breeder.
