An attractively illustrated book with plenty of useful information. There are lots of good tips for the novice to this unusual breed of dog, but with facts to interest the enthusiast as well. This is an excellent portrait of an old breed of English Gundog accompanied by a practical all-round dog care guide. In short, the book will be an investment for the new puppy owner, but as the proud owner of two magnificent "curlies", I can vouch that it is a worthy read.
