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.

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.
