A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bo Bengtson's spectacular new book is the first one ever published to deal comprehensively with all aspects of the international sport of showing dogs. This volume, illustrated with more than 700 photographs, represents his greatest contribution to purebred dogs in his fifty years in the sport. All dog lovers will recognise that this is far more than just a book about dog shows: here is the history of purebred dogs as it's never been told. To complement the author's brilliant prose is a heart-stopping collection of photographs spanning more than a century, which makes Best in Show indispensable for every lover of purebred dogs - the only book anyone will ever need about show dogs and dog shows. Bengtson's book is destined to become an instant classic and deserves to be widely hailed as the bible of the dog show world. It includes data of all the top dogs in the United States and United Kingdom each year, compiled and published for the first time, how to watch a dog show, what judges are looking for, how to become a handler and the breeder's role. There are also celebrity spotlights on the most successful judges, handlers and breeder and includes why some breeds win and others don't. It has everything a lover of dog shows would want.
