Here is the story of the breed's beginnings in Norway, it's development in its homeland and in the US. Also included are excellent chapters on selection, care, versatility and judging. Over 230... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is well indexed, as it may be easily read from cover to cover, or it may also be used strictly by section, allowing for quick and easy reference.While the beginning portion gives great detailed physical description as well as AKA standards, I have found the vast majority of the book to provide very general information that can apply to just about any dog. While I have adopted an adult, most of the book talks to the prospective puppy owner/trainer. Thererfore, I do not feel that it addresses breed-specific problems that may exist in adult dogs adopted from unknown previous owners.
