 Surprisingly fine! December 10, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
In my opinion, this book is worth the price for the history section alone. I have bought other books from this publisher in the past and have not been pleased, and in this case bought the book for the pictures only (which are great!). Either the publisher has raised their standards, or this book is and exception. Much of the material is the same as you would find in any basic dog book, but that is understandable because dog needs are very much the same, regardles of the 'suit' they wear. I wish for more and more in depth information, but for what it is, this book is great.
 Pure Pledgerism and 100 % Disappointment January 18, 2001

As the ultimate dog lover of 3 dogs ( one being a foxhound) and avid reader, I can honestly say that this book lacked information specific to the American Fox Hound. Although the authors / breeders are to be commended for their well researched chapter on " Hunting and history of the fox hound", the entire rest of the book appears to be pure pledgerism on basic dog / puppy facts gathered from another book . Embedded in the narrative discourse of the entire book are wonderful pictures of fox hounds, but the content is plain and repetitive information that can be found in any puppy or dog basic training book . I was disappointed because this is the only book listed by Amazon on Fox Hounds . Too bad there was no content information on temperment or obedience, or statistics rating aspects of this breed. My opinion is to save your money and search online for information on the American Foxhound by surfing the net.
