Lightweights

This book is one of the cutest I have seen! The puppies are sooooo adorable, and the photography is superb! A wonderful gift for kids, a baby shower, birthdays, Valentine's Day, any day! It would also be great as a "coffee-table" book. Seems a little over-priced for how thin it is, but I am still tempted to buy a copy for myself... I loved it. :o)

Cute...adorable...creative...fun! Love this book...you will too:)

I was already a fan of Montrose's work (Dogtionary and Cationary), but she really tipped the scales with LIGHTWEIGHTS! This is the most adorable dog book I have EVER seen--I know, I have them all. The dogs are cute--puppies actually--and the colors and scales too sweet for words. Run, don't walk, to buy this book!!

The title is all wrong: Yes, these pooches are lightweights (in the sense that they weigh so very little), but canine conisueers will find Sharon Montrose's photos weighing in with lotsof cute, captivating charm. This slim volume features color and sepia-toned portraits of puppies snapped during the first weeks of their lives ...most keeping company with vintage or antique scales ... and all of them are simply the cat's meow! There's Lola, an 8 week-old tea cup Chihuahua, weighing in at 14 ounces. There' Scooter and Lily, a 22-pound, 6-ounce snoozing Weimaraner combo whose faces might possibly send William Wegman heading for a phone book. And there's Lurch, a 14-pound, 8-ounce brindle Dane, who, even at 8 weeks, promises to grow (and quickly) into a precious gentle giant. Montrose is not only gifted behind the lens, but in front as well, since she has managed to capture the spirits and spunk of each pampered pooch.

What can one say...Some of the best photos of puppies I have seen. And, I am not just saying that because I own "Ruby" the rat terrier. (Ruby is now Angel) Sharon must have the patience of a saint because I have been trying to get Angel's sister Carly who is 4 weeks old to hold still for a nice picture since she was born and it is no easy task. All the photos are beautiful and show the best of each pup. I was amazed by the weight differences between the breeds...how can a boxer be 1 lb at 4 weeks and a rat terrier 2 and 1/2 lbs? This is a great gift book for dog lovers!!! Oh yeah, I don't have any photos of Angel at 3 weeks, so it is great to have them "published"!!!
