When purchasing a used book I realize you are taking a chance, but I never expected a book with such colorful kid markings where a small child apparently used it to play school. Sometimes a sample of the inside would be helpful in making a better choice.
 Good overview April 5, 2008

While this doesn't go into a great deal of detail, this is an easy to read primer to get started. Good information throughout to get started towards winning. I lost my smooth fox terrier before we had a chance to try actually being in the show ring - but felt prepared that we could have done it. Maybe some day there'll be another show prospect but there will never be another Hatter.
 Great for UKC Fanciers February 11, 2008

This book was OK. It is a good guide for showing in the UKC. There are some good references in the book. I found it very helpful as a companion book on the subject of showing.

Excellent for the beginner to know what to do, how to do it, how to dress in the show ring.
