Excellent for beginners!

I am new to showing and found and find this book to be a great help. It covers so much in a nice, concise format. Highly recommend it to a person new or interested in showing a dog.

Excellent Intro to Showing

I've read just about every book on showing, and this is the best introduction to the world of dog shows I've seen. I wish more exhibitors shared Caroline Coile's wonderful attitude about showing dogs. She covers everything from finding and raising that show quality puppy, basic stacking and gaiting (with helpful color photographs), entering shows and what to do when you get there, and problem solving techniques, to good sportsmanship and suggestions on how to avoid common pitfalls. And she does it all with a great sense of humor -- an important quality to have when you're showing dogs!

Owner-Handlers and those just beginning in this super sport!

I have read several dog showing books and this one is the best for no nonsense, get to the point teaching about the dog show world. The author is a wonderful teacher and seems to be talking to you as if you are a friend of hers. You WILL learn the lingo of showing and feel comfortable in the ring once you have read and followed her advice. A must read for all new to showing!

AbSoLuTeLy ThE bEsT bOoK i HaVe EvEr ReAd!!!

For the past i dunno how long, i have been reading tons and tons of books on how to show your dog, "Properly" to get AKC points, but none of them worked. So, I bought this book hoping to actually learn something, and i did. Because of all the hints and secrets in this book, one of my golden retrievers has 13 points and the other 14 points, so thank you, Ms. Coile, your book has done more than help us!!!
