Summary: Must Own Book for Dog Breeders/Exhibitors- Reasonable Price
Comment: If you have never had the opportunity to view a video by Rachel Paige Elliott, this book is the next best thing. An added advantage is that you can always go back and look up a question about gait.

The diagrams are easy to understand and descriptions are clear. Ms. Elliott is reasonable and knowledgeable in her judgment of good and faulty gait.

I learn something new every time I open up this book. It is a great gift for your "doggy friends" and junior handlers.

Summary: A must for those with giant breeds
Comment: I own the origional 1973 edition of this book and was delighted to find it has been put back into print. I found this book invaluable when I was fist beginning to show dogs. It was a great help in understanding what I was seeing in the show rings and the why of that movement. I feel anyone who wants to show dogs would benefit from this book. I have loaned my personal copy to many people new to the show rings and all of them have said it was very helpful.

Visual aids when looking at gaits are a must. These are well done and the text is easy to understand. I really like the drawings and think they are the key to what makes this book so great for the begining handler or breeder. Even though I have been in the Dog Fancy for over 30 years I still take it out and look occassionally!

Summary: Dogsteps
Comment: I was anxious to buy ths book when it came out because of the authors reputation and the scarcity of information about canine movement.

I was disappointed. The book is extremely simple. Filled with line drawn animals of modest detail. Some pages have drawings and almost no text. Some observations made by the author go completely unexplained. A drawing will be proclaimed to describe a undesireable movement but no drawing is given showing correct movement so you are left to wonder what the point of the information is.

Some of it is good, but most of the book is for those who haven't read any other book on canine movement.
