Pat has done it again! The tremendous wealth of information that was in the first edition, only bigger and better! The skeletal images are a fantastic addition and all of the extra material contributes enough to make it well worth it. I loved the first edition and this one is even better.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about purebred dogs - and even for someone who is just interested in canine sports like agility or flyball. There is so much structural wisdom in these pages that it is a benefit to all who read it.
A++ in my grade book!
