Show Me! : A Dog Showing Primer
by D. Caroline Coile
Dog shows are phenomenally popular, highly competitive, and often perplexing for
beginners. Show Me offers easy-to-follow tips and words of wisdom for those new to this
challenging sport. Author D. Caroline Coile is quick to point out that the average
pet pooch (although lovely in your eyes) will not make it in competitions. Most show dogs
are bred for this very purpose, and the book includes practical advice for selecting and
raising your top dog. Coile divulges her immense knowledge of competition culture,
from grooming tips and obedience training to dealing with competition loss. Judged
one of the best books of 1997 by Dog World magazine |

Born to Win : Breed to Succeed
by Patricia V. Craige
If you do nothing else for yourself in the coming year, make sure you get a copy of
this book. You can learn more from spending two weeks with this book than some
breeders and exhibitors will learn in two decades of trying to figure things out by trial
and error. The range of information offered to readers of Pat Craig's (whose dogs have won
10 Westminster group firsts) book is so great that a book review really doesn't do it
justice. Once you have the book in your hands, the only other thing you will long
for is the time it will take to read and absorb it. Enjoy! |
