The Great American Dog Show Game Alvin Grossman, R. Annabel Rathman the Author had long felt that lack of a good information program was severely hindering the dog game. Looking back on his own thirty plus years in the fancy he wondered how he had made it from a struggling novice to journeyman exhibitor to blase top-winning Specials owner to the exalted ranks of dog show judging. he was well aware that it was NOT because of a well-thought-out plan. He finally concluded that it was only because he had been tenacious and has asked questions of everyone in sight that he had finally arrived. In an effort to impart some of the knowledge he has gained he has written this book. To make it easy to absorb he has used levity and cartoons. But the subject matter is important.

Born to Win : Breed to Succeed by Patricia V. Craige Anne Roslin-Williams described Pat Craige's Born to Win--Breed to Succeed as "one of the best dog books ever"! High praise indeed, and fully justified, I can proimise you...Books about breeding tend to either be very basic, dealing with the mechanics of whelping and rearing...or to be extremely technical. This book, however, is not only highly readable, indeed unputdownable, but Mrs. Craige never 'talks down' to her readers. She assumes that they have similar goals to her own and, unlike so many of those at the very top of their profession, she is happy to pass on her secrets..." Mrs. Craige raises Vin-Melca Elkhounds in the USA, where "her Elkhounds have been number one in this country for almost 30 years." In her book, Paticia Craige "gets various top names in other breeds to explain how they pick puppies and then gives sage advice on how to get the best from them in training, conditioning and problem-sorting." This extraordinary book is "for anyone whose aim is to be seriously competitive in the dog world." Simon Parsons closes his article with his lament that, "I only wish that someone as successful in the British dog scene would write something comparable--whether or not you believe that over here are the best dogs, judges and shows, America is now certainly one up on us as far as dog books are concerned." Hardcover - 289 pages (January 1, 1997) The best price for this book is at Amazon.com. The shipping cost and return policy is not under A Dog Owner's Network control. |

K-9 : Structure and Terminology by Edward M. Gilbert, Thelma R. Brown I found this book to give me a better understanding of the movement of a dog in the show ring. It describes quite well the parts of the skeleton and how they relate to this movement. The full impact of the information is probably best used in a class where examples can be shown. Even with this shortcoming I found I increased my understanding and knowlege of conformation show movement. Hardcover - 233 pages (December 1995) The best price for this book is at Amazon.com.
