This book is coffee table quality and sits right there! I have gone back to it a million times for historical information and pedigree research. The many, many pictures give it a life of it's own! An outstanding book. Two thumbs WAY UP! :o)

I've read and reread this book many times. The photos are great and it's very interesting and exciting to read about dogs and rottweiler fanciers I have met and heard of. I recommend this book as a "must have".

I read your book and thought you went into detail a lot. You had a great variety of pictures to look at. I think if you had put ways of contacts to find out more information would have improved it even more. Over all a great book.

This is one of my top 3 books on dachshunds. Very informative and full of crammed packed good stuff totally on Dachshunds. Lots of usuful info for novice or top dog here. I recommend this book to new puppy buyers.

This book is wonderful if you are interested in reading about Dachshunds and the history of breeding in the United States. I purchased this book because the breeder which I got my new Miniature Dachshund from is listed in the book and it gave me a lot of information as to the history of the breeder and their dogs lineage. It also gave insight on how they have helped other breeders start their lines. If you are beginning to look for a Dachshund and are going about it the right way by researching breeders this if definately the book for you to read.

This out of print book succedes in informing the reader about the wonderful breed. It's in depth color photo sections are some of the finest in range and beauty. If you have a Great Dane sized heart, use your cyber paws to order it up!

In this practical, beautifully illustrated book, the author traces the development of the Dane from Germany to its world-wide popularity today, and using numerous kennel stories, brings to life many of the most important Danes and the people who have made the breed special. 319 pp. / 200+ color photos / TFH-1988

This is a wonderful, wonderful book. The information is probably THE most accurate of any Russell book I've read so far (and I've gone through quite a few with my first JRT!). Author is very descriptive and covers everything from breeding to old age in depth. Adorable pictures.

I loved this book. It gave a lot of information about the breed and the pictures were so cute! It gave me all I needed to know about the breed's history, habits, its trainability and physical features. For anyone who is thinking about purchasing a Jack Russell Terrier, I encourage them to buy this book. Even if you don't want to buy a Jack Russell Terrier, it is still a great book to read and gather information about Jack Russell Terriers.

Even though it was written over a decade ago, Nicholas' book on the Labrador Retriever remains one of the better books available on this breed. It is becoming a little outdated on some of the information on the show and field scenes, but it remains highly informative for those thinking about buying a Labrador Retriever. It is also profusely illustrated with a wealth of photos. If you will buy only one book on the Labrador Retriever, this should be it. It describes the breed's development in Canada and Britain in the last century, outlines its ability to work out in the field retrieving birds, and brings the reader up to date on the show scene up to the early 80's. In addition, it includes chapters on the care and training of the Labrador Retriever.

This was a very insightful book for my very first weimaraner. It is a basic beginners book that is very easy to understand and follow in all the different aspects from diet, to health, to training, to play. Wonderful. It sure has helped me with mine. I have read this book many times as it is a book you can read in one sitting which makes it even better.

Ms. Nicholas' credentials are incredible and she has been involved with dogs most all her life. She judged her first show in 1934 and has written many books. Her knowledge of the canine species and the Maltese breed is evident in her no-nonsense style of writing. Her approach to the book includes history, care, grooming, showing and more.

This is the first book on Maltese that I have read which includes a detailed background of the major Maltese kennels in the U.S. It was exciting to see a photo of one of the champion ancestors of my new little puppy, Oswald (11 weeks old). Plus, I now know the history of the other champions in Oswald's lineage.

If you are considering showing your dog, this book explains the point system and dog events wonderfully. I could visualize the event as I read her description. Plus, I now clearly understand the mammoth task it is to earn a champion status.

Overall, the book is a good read, well organized, and worth the purchase price. It's one you will reference again and again.

This is a very well written book by a very respected AKC judge and it thoroughly covers the breed. I found the kennel histories most informative and wuld reccomend this to be part of every American Staffordshire Terrier owners library.

This book very clearly explains how to care for a Bichon Frise (b.c.) and its personality. How it handles being around other animals is another thing this book informed me of. After reading this book i knew is exactly what to look for in a b.c. puppy and i am proud to say that because of this book i was able to pick out the best b.c. puppy that anyone could've picked. This book is well worth the money, and i would have glady spent twice as much on it. Anyone who ever reads his book will truely understand the great qualities of the b.c., and most likely be convinced into getting one.

I purchase this book and was amazed at the detail of the photos and the text. Not only did I enjoy the many photos of the Shar Pei but the text was informative and useful. Each page is in rich and bright color and is in a glossy format. I have never own a book with this type of printing. The book itself is made with high quality paper and is made the best I have ever seen a book made. The cost of this book is well worth it. And the information of the care of this breed is wonderful. I gain more knowledge of my dog and had helpful hints for my vet also. I have use the information obtain in this book for the care of my dog and the medical needs also. This book would be a wonderful gift for any Shar Pei owner or breeder.
