The Canadian Inuit Dog: Canada's Heritage (2nd Edition)

Summary: The Canadian Inuit Dog
Review: The previous reviews for this title refer to the first edition. I found that the shortcomings with the non-captioned illustrations and photos have been corrected in the 2nd edition and the number of photos has been increased considerably. The «fat opinions» about who should own this breed remain but they are there for a reason. The Inuit Sled Dog International, the breed association co-founded by the author, has on more than one occasion had to rescue dogs from people who were led to believe that Inuit Dogs make great suburban family pets. Canadian Inuit Dogs are magnificent animals - loyal, hardworking and intelligent - but they are sled dogs and pack orientated. The author has produced the only book that details the history, physical attributes, temperament and management of this unique breed. A worthwhile read for anyone remotely interested in dogs, in cultural history, polar exploration or animal nutrition.

Review: This immensely informative narrative is beautifully written, full of fascinating facts and unique anecdotes of personal experience as well as astute observations. The author presents a "caring candor" when presenting this breed which should secure it from mismanagement and misplacement in unsuitable homes and situations. Many photos, remote and recent. A true Guardian of the Canadian Inuit Canine!

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: This is a great read, and I loved it. I do agree with the author on who should own the Inuit Dog and who should not. The showing people have wrecked entire breeds of sled dogs, and I don't want to see that happen to this breed. My own Inuit Dog would have been put to sleep if she was sold to someone who didn't need a good sled dog, but just wanted a pet. This book helped me understand some of Kallie's odd quirks that my other Alaskan Huskies don't have. This is a very informative read and I would suggest it to anyone that owns or is interested in Inuit Dogs, and anyone interested in the Arctic region, and the Inuit people.

Review: Was excitied to find a book on this topic (Inuit dogs) but upon receiving the book, was dissapointed in the misguided information and the lack of supporting documentation. The book is mostly the authors opinion and not particulartly well written.The photos were nice though.
