I purchased this book when it first came out and indeed, our kennel is included. Although the basics of Basset owning are well covered and the production (glossy paper with very good colour photographs)is excellent, unfortunately there are a great many errors in the history of individual kennels. These are mainly due to lack of proof reading (ie typos)! As on ongoing history of the breed in the UK, this is a pity. For this reason I only give this book 3 stars. However it is a must for any serious Basset owner's library.

This book perfectly describe how it is to live in a house owned by Basset Hounds.Because You don`t own a Basset,-THEY let you share their life! And reading this book tells you all the fun and horrors you`ll have by living with a Basset.You are NOT alone,- other Bassets do i too!
Simply a delightful,funny and Very informative book.

The book is indeed very expensive and has too many photos. I was looking for detailed info concerning basset hound's behaviour and characteristics but I was disapointed. In addition, the book is very "American" oriented but if you have the money, buy it.
