We were thinking of keeping 2 or 3 for the pleasure it would give us and our two children but this book has put us off the idea completely...
At times confusingly written with far too many negative aspects described in detail and not enough positives.
Some might say the writing is 'charming' but, as a beginner, I needed to know detail which either isn't in this book or is made confusing by the writing.

I read this book in the greman translation. Nevertheless it is a great story and I have to agree, that I read the book in 2 days. I am surprised, that there is also a DVD :)
My sister worked for some years in Plymouth and Exeter. I will spend my hollidays there in Devon and in this region next summer. I am sure David Kennard does more for tourism marketing in this part of England than any other publicity of the "tourism board" could do!

This book is excellent. A really useful, easy to understand guide which is certainly a must for the first time breeder.
All the diagrams are easy to follow and the glossy pages and photographs make it a pleasure to use.
