Solving The Mysteries of Breed Type by Richard G Beauchamp
This book became an instant classic when first published in 2002, and since then has remained essential reading for every person who cares about the future of purebred dogs.
-
Now in its second edition, Richard Beauchamp's groundbreaking work has been expanded and is illustrated completely in colour.
-
It tackles the arts of both judging and breeding dogs, and helps to solve the enigma of breed type, "those two little words with the great big meaning".
-
Until a college for dog show judges opens its doors, Solving The Mysteries of Breed Type will remain the textbook for every master breeder and judge, as well as every intellectually curious exhibitor.
Price: £29.95 (postage costs also apply, please click link for more info)
