4.0 out of 5 stars a pocket guide to Keeshonden, May 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Keeshonden (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

The breed is not popular with Hollywood, so the selection of books are a rare find. This book is a good no-nonsense guide to Keeshonden. It includes basic information starting with the history of the breed, along with the CORRECT pronounciation of this name: Kayz-hawnd,(not keys-hound!), the behavior, caring for, traveling with, nutrition, diet, medical care, training, grooming, and raising Keeshonden (stud/bitch care). I particularly liked the extent the author took in writing a well written chapter on Before Buying a Keeshond. He went into whether the Keeshond is right for you? puppies vs dogs, male/ female, and pet or show quality. The end of the chapter went into the Keeshond with children, family, older people, and other animals. Included within the book there is clear photos of the dog, in reference to the point of the chapter. Examples of these would be the different colorations of the breed, puppies, grooming tasks, and training methods. Other black and white sketches were included for the reproductive track, medical care, picking up a puppy, and candid sketches. The Keeshonden pet manual is about 75 pages long, but was one of the better purchases for obtaining information on the breed. Rec. for further reading: the New Complete Keeshond, a textbook of information on the Keeshonden worldwide.

This book is very well written, giving excellent insight into these unusual personality-filled dogs. While it provided a lot of information, the book was a bit pricey, especially for a small paperback. However, it really was worth the price. I'd recommend it to anyone who is getting a Keeshond for the first time.
