Good Variety of Information for the Experienced Dog Owner

Contains information on various kennels in the US, and abroad. Has a small chapter on grooming for show, but is definitely geared towards someone who knows what they are doing. Beautiful photos of past champions, as well as good illustrations and photos to help you find a correct conformationed show dog. Highlights Gordons both as Show and Field Dogs. Nice coffee table book.

Very helpful book,Highlights the breed perfectly.

Jose has the knowledge of the breed and has very kindly passed it on to us in this very useful book. The information is priceless to those of us who are relatively new to the breed. I know it has helped me on many occasions. It takes pride of place on my book shelf.
