This series is supposed to be the canine version of the "Cat Who..." books by Lilian Jackson Braun. They don't make it. There's WAAAAAY too much info about dog shows, raising, pedigrees, etc. It reminded me of textbooks.After completing the book, I still have no idea what the title had to do with anything. One interesting sidenote is that one of the characters has the same last name as one of my historical society buddies: Goodenaugh. He turned out to be the killer, too. Now you don't have to read the book.
