This review is from: Gordon Setters Today (Hardcover)
Jose has the knowledge of the breed and has very kindly passed it on to us in this very useful book. The information is priceless to those of us who are relatively new to the breed. I know it has helped me on many occasions. It takes pride of place on my book shelf.

Author's background provides valuable British insights.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gordon Setters Today (Hardcover)
The author of Gordon Setters Today is a respected breeder/judge in the British Isles. American Gordon Setter fanciers will recognize the Lourdace prefix, which she has used for over 20 years. Ms. Baddeley has won
national awards for her achievements in the breed, and had the honour of judging Gordon Setters at Crufts in 1994. She is also the author of the British section for the Gordon Setter Club of America's last 10-year-review. The book includes sections on the Gordon in Britain, North America, Australasia and Europe, and has numerous fascinating photos.

Good Variety of Information for the Experienced Dog Owner,
By "willothewispw" (Midlothian, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gordon Setters Today (Hardcover)
Contains information on various kennels in the US, and abroad. Has a small chapter on grooming for show, but is definitely geared towards someone who knows what they are doing. Beautiful photos of past champions, as well as good illustrations and photos to help you find a correct conformationed show dog. Highlights Gordons both as Show and Field Dogs. Nice coffee table book.
