5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Guide for the Samoyed Fancier!, March 17, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Central Ohio) - See all my reviews

Quite simply, the best guide to the Samoyed I've seen. It will be a welcome addition to the adoption kits we give to new owners of rescued Samoyeds! Regardless of your involvement- breeders, rescue, new owner, seasoned veteran - this book is a must have. It's well-written, informative, and contains plenty of helpful illustrations. You'll love the beautiful photographs! E.J. McWhorter, Central Ohio Samoyed Rescue

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the price., December 6, 2000

By	Marc (Toledo, Ohio) - See all my reviews

I've done a ton of research on Samoyeds, Huskies and Malamutes, and this is probably the best book for the money that I have come across. It only cost me a total of I think $8.00 or so to have it shipped to my door and it contains a surprisingly lot of information for its small size. Seriously interested people will probably want to get another book to supplement this, but this is a really good place to start for someone interested in learning about Samoyeds. Its affordable, covers a lot of areas, and has a lot of color pictures. I would definitely recommend this book.
