[Sinbad · Rating 3 out of 5]

Relativno informativna knjižica o različitim pasminama pasa - kratki istorijat, sažetak karakteristika i koja pikanterija odnosno zanimljivost vezana za određenu rasu.

Šteta je što su neke stare i poštovane rase izuzete kao što je Mađarska vižla, Kane korso, Korgi itd. S druge strane, prevelik je akcenat na autohtonim engleskim i francuskim rasama. Naravno, ovo kao zamerku mogu uzeti samo čitaoci koji nisu pripadnici te dve kulture.

Ovo kratko delo bih preporučio svim ljubiteljima pasa, kao uvod u kompleksni svet kinologije.

This is a pretty book with beautiful pictures and a short description of each breed. It's a nice book to keep for reference.
