3.0 out of 5 stars Not a primer on care, but good research tool, June 7, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Official Book of the Basset Hound (Hardcover)
I bought this book in preparation for the arrival of our Basset pup, and found that I could have used it more effectively during the research stage. This book offers an in-depth examination of the history of the Basset Hound, and gives great detail on American kennels that have excelled in producing show Bassets, tracking Bassets and field-trial Bassets. Be aware, however, that this book is expensive, and offers a minimum of information on Basset feeding, grooming, and other care issues. This book includes beautiful examples of excellent breed-standard dogs, and makes a fine research tool for any individual who wants to get serious about Basset breeding and/or showing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on the history of bassets, July 13, 2005
By 
Daphne Basset (Milford, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Official Book of the Basset Hound (Hardcover)
The emphasis of this book is a historical record of the best basset bloodlines in the US and offers wonderful photos of top bassets. An excellent reference tool for anyone who really wants to know what bassets are SUPPOSED to look like (not those pathetic examples in most calendars you buy at Borders)..proper structure and pay close attention to the AKC standard....If you own a basset...check your pedigrees...if you have a well bred dogs, there will be names in this book you'll recognize.

Pricey for the average person, but should be a reference tool for anyone serious about bassets.
