Product Description
A basic introduction to the "bits and pieces" that put canines together combined with a glossary of everyday vocabulary used to describe dogs and their structure. This book takes intricate, sometimes complicated and challenging subjects and presents them in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand format.

 Terrific Book October 20, 2008
Steve Kuechler (Overland Park, Kansas)
This is the ultimate book on K-9 structure and movement. We had the Gilbert's in for a seminar that our kennel club sponsored. The seminar was presented by Ed & Pat Gilbert and was excellent. Buy the book before you breed another litter. Great book for all breeds of dogs.
 Needs more illustrations & photos July 28, 2008

This was a very good book, no doubt. It would have helped immensely to have more photos or illustrations of features being discussed, especially fronts & rears.
Overall I didn't find it that helpful. I'm sure the seminar another reviewer mentioned would've been really helpful where things are being demonstrated. I'm not sure I'd read this again since I'd already read "THE DOG IN ACTION" by Mcdowell Lyon. I found a few word-for-word matches in this book and "AN EYE FOR A DOG" by Robert W. Cole. I hope this was unintentional by both authors.
 K-0 Structure and Terminology November 12, 2007
Judith H. Kasper (Riverside, CA USA)
I purchased this book after attending a Seminar given by Mr. Gilbert. He made a great many good points, but I wanted to read the book to firm them up in my mind. It is a very good work on the subject of canine conformation and terminology.
Excellent! August 23, 2007

An excellent, well-written guide for the dog fancier wishing to understand the terminology and the "why" of various dog breed structures and movement. A resource to be read and reread, consulted often.
Superior Book on Dog Structure July 12, 2007
Rex Fogleman
This book is right on, with very accurate descriptions of Dog structure. Every person who has Show Dogs, or is involved in the Show Ring should keep this book as a reference.
