TELEMARK'S GUIDE TO DOGS V.2.0. CD-ROM DEBUTS.

Telemark Productions, Richmond, Calif., an independent developer of multimedia software, has unveiled "Telemark's Guide to Dogs v.2.0," CD-ROM, an interactive resource for dog lovers. "Telemark's Guide to Dogs" covers 168 dog breeds, and includes an interactive breed selector and information about such diverse topics as housebreaking, training, health care, grooming, flea control, and more, all reviewed by experts. The original "Telemark's Guide to Dogs" won a Silver Apple Award in the 1997 National Educational Media Network Competition.

"We're very excited about this software because it helps people choose a compatible breed and learn the basics of training and care, so they can develop a positive relationship with their dog," said Ellen Brodsky, president, Telemark Productions. "Thousands of dogs are sent to the pound each year because people choose a breed based on looks, or because they don't know how to prevent or solve common problems. To meet this need, we created 'Telemark's Guide to Dogs' with the help of over 200 dog experts."

"Telemark's Guide to Dogs" Breed Selector accurately recommends the best breeds for anyone's lifestyle and then provides links to Breed Profiles for more in-depth exploration. The Breed Comparer displays detailed characteristics of any two breeds side-by-side, and users can play two entertaining Guessing Games to test their breed recognition skills. Over 300 Web links connect directly to breed clubs and other organizations. The Search feature helps people find what they're looking for quickly and easily.

Version 2.0 has a new simplified interface that uses familiar Internet browser software to access all the CD-ROM's content, including the color photos and movies. "Though it's not specifically developed for children, I've seen kids spend hours happily playing with this product, learning as they go," said Brodsky. "Telemark's Guide to Dogs" runs on Windows(R) and Macintosh and is available at http://www.telemarkprod.com and Amazon.com for $12.99. It is compatible with most systems, but users must have an Internet browser to run the product. The company is currently seeking retail distribution and marketing partners.
