Books about Dogs

Hunting Dogs from Around the World
Jean-Michel Lepeudry The New Complete Brittany Maxwell Riddle

We recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning some background information on the hunting breeds. It has some wonderful pictures of french brittanys - as well as dozens of other hunting breeds. Although we take exception to Mr. Riddle's comments about brittanys with black in their coloration (!!) we recommend this book for the background information it provides on the history of the brittany in the United States and Canada.
