The following is a list of books that you may find interesting and helpful. Generally speaking, dog books are "specialty" books. Hence, they are pricey. Check at your local library to see is they have any of these, read them and decide if you wish to purchase the book for future reference and posterity. These are listed in no particular order and are available from The Canadian kennel Club, #100 - 89 Skyway Avenue, Etobicoke, ON M9W 6R4 - Telephone (416) 675-5511. Also, check Chapters, Smith Books, Coles, etc.. You may just find them on the shelves.
NOTE: Although I would consider all of these to be excellent books, none of the information in them is, to coin a phrase, "chiselled in stone"! This list is a list of good books, but your own common sense should prevail.
