The New Complete Portuguese Water Dog

Very interesting content on the history of the Portuguese Water Dog history.

This book is informative but a bit dry, goes into technicalities and history and lineage. If you are not into showing your Portuguese Water Dog, perhaps you would not be interested in this book

This is a great book on the breed. If you want info on the breed or reference about your PWD this is a great reference book.

More about history and breading that a guide for new owners. Not as much interested; more interested in the care and feeding of our new PWD

Limited information regarding raising a PWD. Significant focus on pedigree and breeding.

It is OK however provided more information than I would have wanted about the showing of this breed. I purchased the Kindle version and it is lacking page numbers and is somewhat difficult to navigate in this form, otherwise good information.

Needs to be updated...... Perhaps even mentioning standards to know and look for....

Kitty's book is THE reference book on the PWD. It has an in-depth history of the breed, a discussion of the temperament of the average PWD, pedigree information, etc. Although it has some tips on training, that is NOT the purpose of this book. There are plenty of training books out there!I disagree with the people who say this is just for people who show. I got my copy long before I ever showed a PWD. It is, however, a more in-depth study of the breed. For those who just want tips on how to raise a puppy, I recommend Verne Foster's book. For those who want to understand the breed and the background of their dog, get Kitty's book. I recommend getting both!There is an earlier version of this book which Kitty wrote with Deyanne Miller (who made the first successful introduction of the PWD to the United States & worked hard to rescue the breed). You do not need that edition unless you want to see photos of some of the early PWDs that are omitted in the revised edition.

Very disappointed with is book. No colour images they are all black and white, some images are very poor quality. Book not very inviting especially for a children.

My friend was highly delighted with my gift as he has bought a Portuguese Water DogIt was so full of knowledge so thank youBubbles

great book great price
