A provocative look at the '€œcult of pedigree'€ and an entertaining social history of purebred dogs In this illuminating and entertaining social history, social critic Michael Brandow probes the '€œcult of pedigree'€ and traces the commercial rise of the purebred dog. Combining consumer studies with sharp commentary, A Matter of Breeding reveals the sordid history of the dog industry and shows how our brand-name pets'€”from Labs to French bulldogs and everything in between'€”pay the price with devastatingly poor health. From the Trade Paperback edition.
