 Best book for new kids September 4, 2008
If you are brand new to the world of showing you can quickly become discouraged by the "closed society" that the dog showing world often is. I started showing this year armed with only the advice of an experienced exhibitor, a handful of showmanship classes and this book. Of the three I would say that this book was the most comprehensive and useful resource. You should still seek out an experienced mentor--someone familiar with prepping and showing your breed...but barring any other input this book WILL get you started. It can't help you with breed specifics, but I found it TREMENDOUSLY informative on the little details for giving your best "presentation" in the ring. Everything from how to hold your leash to how to dress is covered. Yes, that would be redundant for an experienced exhibitor....however even those with YEARS of experience in ANYTHING can always learn something new. Even if you only pick up one tiny tip that helps in the ring it's a worthwhile read!!
I will be looking to other books for more advanced knowledge as we progress. But if you are a beginner looking for a fantastic and comprehensive one-stop-get-you-started kind of book, this is it!!
 The TRUTH about showing dogs February 15, 2008
It's about time someone with the experience of Peter Green write a book about showing dogs that doesn't avoid the topic of politics within the sport! Great tips are exposed, though he's a TERRIER man so keep that in mind if you show hounds, working, sporting, etc. It's inspiring and helpful to read.

Starting my second show dog's career, after blundering my way through with my first one, Peter Green and Mario Migliorini gave me excellent tips and strategies to make the handler pay more attention to his/her job. I love the section on stacking - wonderful photos to show the sublties that beginners don't see. An excellent book for someone with the basic knowledge already down who wants to take their showing to the next level.

This book would be helpful for anyone beginning showing dogs. They really needn't know anything. If you already know what a show is, how to enter and have been in the ring before, you're probably not going to get much out of this. I have a few books on showing that far outwiegh this one. It's basic, simple and for complete novices only...It is written well, and is easy to understand. If this is to be your first book on dog showing, then it will provide you with enough info to get you started. I preferred, The Winning Edge: Show Ring Secrets (Howell Reference Books) and Tricks of the Trade: From Best Intentions to Best in Show, Revised Edition
