Gerald Hausman Knihy

Zajímá Vás, kde se vzala různá psí plemena? Rádi se začtete do různých mýtů a pověstí? Pak je tato kniha právě pro Vás. V 67 kapitolách (každá je věnována jednomu či více příbuzných plemen) se dočtete fakta i různá vyprávění. Zjistíte, jaké slavné osobnosti to které plemeno vlastnili a jak se dostali tito psi do Ameriky. To, že autoři pocházejí z Floridy, poznáte i na konci každé kapitoly, kde najdete Základní údaje. Informace o povaze a využití jsou samozřejmě stejné jako ty, které najdete ve standardech FCI. Horší to už je se vzhledem a hlavně se zbarvením některých plemen. To musíte brát trochu s rezervou. Přesto je tato ojedinělá publikace psí historie určitě pro kynology velmi zajímavá.

V publikaci jsou popsány fyzické, mentální rysy a historický původ příslušného plemene psa. Báje a historky z ústního i písemného podání zajímavě dokreslují charakter každého plemene.
