5.0 out of 5 stars Good Dog!, June 16, 2004

This review is from: The Irish Setter (Learning about Dogs) (Library Binding)

Describes the breed's temperament, origin, and development. Also, discusses owning an Irish Setter. The president of the Irish Setter Club of America acted as a consultant on this book. Includes a photo diagram that labels such parts of a dog as the hocks, withers, and tail. There is an interesting section called "Quick Facts about Dogs." The book design is quite basic with a photo on every other page. The photos are of good quality, but look like they might be just as at home on a dog calendar. Most of the definitions in the glossary are appropriate, but the given definition for tattoo is a "mark on the skin." That's a little vague. This series also has titles for other of the more popular breeds of dogs such as Beagles, Saint Bernards, Dalmatians, etc. The back of the book has a short bibliography, several addresses of clubs, internet sites, and an index.
