This review is from: Irish Setters Today (Hardcover)
What an informative, enjoyable read! Eve's expertise in the breed shines through in all aspects of this book, from the acquisition of a promising show puppy, to feeding, breeding, health and coat care. A detailed section on showing explains the UK challenge certificate system, and an excellent comparision between the UK and USA standards offers the reader a broad description of the breed.
Eve's decision to fill the book full of personal insights and experiences offers the reader a very detailed and emotive look into life with an Irish Setter. Her love of the breed is geniune, and comes across clearly at all times, particularly in the small but heart-wrenching section entitled, "At the End of the Day." The photos are beautiful, and capture the breed from many angles. There is a detailed section on the training of the Setter in the field, which should be fascinating even to those who have no intention of ever hunting their dogs. This book has become one of my favourites, and is a must-have for any serious enthusiast of the breed.
