This a wonderful book on the Scottish Terrier and is a great addition to the library of any fancier of the breed. I have not read a better accounting of the breed's history and development and the breed's character. The pictures are some of the best you will see in any dog book. The pictures also feature many of the late and great dogs of the past who figure so prominently in many pedigrees of the best Scotties of today.

This volume is officially approved by the Scottish Terrier Club of America, one of the oldest breed clubs (founded 1900). The book has a large amount of excellent color photographs throughout, as well as black and white photos of early champions. The history of the breed is examined in depth, the breed standard, sections on champions old and modern. Bloodlines of some of the major dogs are also examined. There is a complete chapter devoted to the professional handlers who have campaigned the Scottish Terrier in the show ring. The book also covers choosing a pup, some breeding information, and also some other unusual activites such as obedience (who says terriers aren't obedient! ) and there is even a wheaten scottie who has police training mentioned in this book! Mrs. Lee previously authored a book on raising and whelping puppies that is considered one the best books available on this subject. She has been active in this breed showing, breeding and judging in AKC conformation. The front cover of the book is very attractive with a plaid ribbion, the offical seal of the Scottish Terrier Club of America, and a large color photograph of Champion Blanart Bewitching. For anyone interested in the "diehard" this is THE indispensable book both in the detail in the text and the lush photography. There is a wealth of information for both the pet owner and the show enthusiast.
