Product Description
The author had long felt that lack of a good information program was severley 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. Read it and learn...but best of all enjoy it!

This is an excellent book for those that are thinking about showing their dogs and are wondering what is involved. Not only does the author explain what steps he took to get from novice owner to dog show judge, but also any questions that he had (and the answers he was given) and his own thoughts that he had along the way. For example, I finally figured out what a special was! This format is quite effective at helping the novice who may have the same type of questions that he had when he was starting out. Though he emphasizes one breed in particular, the information is equally applicable to all breeds.Since it is a generalized book on the subject, he has left out a lot of details that are involved with showing and breeding dogs, of which many can be negative and heartbreaking. However, these details are available elsewhere once one decides to get serious about showing. As a primer for learning about dog shows, this is an excellent book.
