I bought this book in order to learn all I could about the Pekingese breed. I wasn't disappointed. It's nicely written, very informative and easy to read. (The wonderful photos are an added bonus.) Caroline Coile obviously has a long-time, loving relationship with the Peke. After reading it, I was convienced. We adopted our own Peke and now use it daily to learn more about the needs of our wonderful new family member. The information is very informative, helpful and acurate. We and our dog are much happier due to the information we gained from Dr. Coile's book. What a bargin!
