Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a very good book for the aspiring Corgi owner. It covers the general dog basics very well, with special attention to finding a breeder, training and caring for your new dog. In addition, the sections of the book relating to Corgis, both Pembroke AND Cardigan, are worth their weight in gold! There are differences between the breeds, and the authors do a terrific job of highlighting them for the prospective owner. Additionally, the entire book is peppered with special hints about Corgis and pictures of both breeds are used throughout the book to illustrate points being made. This is marked contrast to many other breed-specific volumes, which have a few pages identifing the AKC standard for the breed, a page or two on grooming that is specific, with the rest of the book filled with generic information and depicted by all manner of dogs. A book about Corgis should ONLY have pictures of Corgis! The final point is that my 9 year old son read the book cover to cover (something usually reserved only for the Harry Potter series) and now has a greater appreciation for the soon-to-be new addition to our family. A great book for the entire family!
