1.0 out of 5 stars What about the English Setters?, June 19, 2000

This review is from: English Setters (Kw Series) (Paperback)

On the cover of the book, "English Setters", there issmall yellow-enclosed print stating: "#1 Best Selling EnglishSetter Book". So, I bought the book thinking there must be a good reason for its best-selling status.

The book has 192 pages. Only 32 pages talk specifically about English Setters. And, of those pages many are full color glossy photos of adorable English Setters that cover entire pages. Ten of the first 32 pages are strictly photos with captions. So, what about the English Setters?

If you want beautiful pictures of English Setters, then this book is for you! But, why not get a calendar? There are just as many lovely pictures in a calendar.

The rest of the book is typical dog care mumbo-jumbo. How to groom dogs, feed dogs, crate-train dogs, housebreak your puppy, breed dogs...but nothing specific about English Setters. It seems as if two books have been combined together to take up space. Ridiculous.

I learned nothing new about English Setters in this book. I learned more from reading an article in "Dog World" about English Setters.

I was frustrated with this book and I want people to know it. END

This is a good basic breed information book on the English Setter, but leans more toward the Dog Show breed / standards than training a dog for hunting. Still very informative about the English Setter breed.
