4 out of 5 stars Beautiful pictures, and an excellent historical overview   February 7, 1998
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

"The Basset Hound" is an excellent book to add to any true fan of the breeds library collection. The pictures are excellent, showing the beauty and variety of the breed in bone structure and coat color. The historical content details the breeds use in hunting and dog showing, and a brief mention of the breed as a pet. I was very captivated by the pictures, and the information presented was very interesting. For owners of the breed there is even a chapter on traveling with your basset hound for todays busy lifestyles. This is a wonderful breed book.


2 out of 5 stars Could of had less show and more on the actual breed.   January 23, 1997

I felt this book was an excellent source of reading for the Basset show dog owners. I, myself am not into showing, I enjoy the breed as pets so I was a little disappointed in finding so much reading dedicated solely to showing. I enjoy reading about bassets and would of been more interested in stories, complications this breed can accure as well as how to prevent them or deal with them. I enjoyed the many photos included but once again, the majority were dogs being shown. In my own personal opinion, the book should of been more detailed either in title or on front cover explaining its contents more so. I am on to other reading and am hoping to find less of show dogs
