Very helpful advice for a novice in the show ring. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: FANTASTIC, 2007-09-19 This book is an absolute must have if you want to enter the wonderful world of dogshows! I've been showing for some time, and this book tought me so much, made me think things differently and be a better handler. I absolutely recommend it to everyone involved in showing! 0 of 1 found this review helpful: Puppy Intensive Care: A Breeder's Guide to Care of Newborn Puppies, 2007-07-22 nicely put together also I would recemmend this book to people that are just starting in the breeding world. For an experience breeder I would want more infos ans explainations. But over all a great book 1 of 1 found this review helpful: Pay Attention!, 2007-07-20 That seems to be the main message George Alston is giving. Pay attention to your dog, the judge, the ring conditions, and your competition. He gives great advice on how to adjust your stride, the leash, your grooming, etc. to give your dog the best opportunity to win. He also includes wonderful chapters on Psychology and Ring Etiquette, something that can make or break the handler - not just the dog. He shows showing as the art, not just the mechanics. 3 of 3 found this review helpful: Must have for a Show Dogs Library, 2007-01-17 When I spoke to my dogs breeder, her comment was that I needed this book. I was happy to tell her I had already ordered and read it! She is a veteran and reads it every Spring before she steps into the Show Ring to brush up on things. I found it to be very helpful as a beginner and I've found it even more helpful after I've been in the ring a couple of times. It leaves out a lot of the "fluff" but is a great companion book to some of the others that start out at the very beginning. Very easy to read. Confidence builder!
