Faboo!

A must have for all serious Siberian Husky lovers

A must read for the serious Siberian Husky owner/fancier!

Michael Jennings has written this book in a way even the novice can understand. From Pet owner to the serious fanciers, it is full of information that you will want to have in your library. This second book in a series can compel even the pet owner to want to raise their loving Siberian and know all it's history. From the beginnings to the present, each chapter has something for everyone. Being a serious fancier myself, I have found this book to be very informative, yet easy to read and understand.Kudos to Michael for another well written book.

This is a great, great book about the Siberian Husky.

"The New Complete Siberian Husky," by Michael Jennings, is a must for all potential and current Sibe owners. It touches on a variety of subjects- history of the breed, the breed standard, famous husky kennels, as well as the care of the Siberian Husky, training, breeding, and all other vital subjects. Lots of photos, especially of past Siberians who were very valuable to the breed's beginnings. Many of these dogs can be traced on your own Siberian's pedigree. The book also contains the REAL story about Balto and Togo, quite a bit different than the movie...

A fine resource for all Sibe owners or those considering.

Heavy emphasis on background & breeders of Sibes Each dog breed needs a similar book that fills the dog owner with pride and convinces him(her) that they have selected the quintessential dog to own. It also is valuable in pointing out some of the unique problems of the animal i.e. wanderlust, digging, behavioral quirks difficulty training as well as the endearing features of the breed. Perhaps too much time is placed on the "begots". It introduces you to the major "players" breeders of Sibes and has an excellent chapter on the breed standards. The numerous photos are somewhat repititious since all good Sibes are beautiful and it is hard to see the subtlties in black and white when talking about copper and other hues. Spins a great narrative about the "serum run" and the legendary "Togo" which I have made into a children's story which is loved by my grandchildren.
