Great book for beginner! August 8, 2003 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This was a great book and will do well for the beginner. I have shown for a few years and found it helpful in many ways. It is very easy to read and to throughly understand. It touches on UKC (United Kennel Club NOT UNIVERSAL!!!) as well which is good for those beginners who may decided to check out UKC and AKC showing. Great read, glad to have in my collection.
Well written July 15, 2003 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
A great book if you are thinking of starting out showing dogs in the AKC. She tries to remind the reader that dog showing is supposed to be fun, but depending on the level you and your dog achieve, can get stressful.If you show in any other registry, like I do, its a good reference, too. Would have liked to see her touch more on the UKC and how much more relaxed and family orientated it is than the AKC none the less, a great book.

I liked the clearly worded writing in this title. It was easy to read and thus easy to understand. I reference it all the time. I particularly like the "Tips from the Pros"! Great reading for the novice, new to showing!

Show dog's August 26, 2001 14 out of 17 found this review helpful
I was very surprised to see how much you need to know to show your dog. Our dog is just a puppy three month's old but with the use of this book I have already began to get her ready for the show ring. I have tought her to lead on her rope and stop and sit and come when I call her to me. My other dog doesn't know this because he was never trained. I got him when he was four so he has never been trained. I was excited about the way it was wrote so simple that a child could understandit. I am looking forward to showing her again. She was already won her first show and I can't wait to show her again. I would tell everyone who show's dog's and doesn't understand everything about the show ring to read this book. I is a super book to have I have read it twice already and plan to wear it out and buy another one.
