Great Book, i even bought one for a friend. I'm a jack russell lover. Waiting for the next book to come out.

Great little book about a great little dog

This is a very helpful book, well organized so it is very easy to find what you are looking for. Like the book says, Jack Russells aren't for everyone. They are brilliant. That means they can think of much more trouble to get into. They will never bore you. But if you don't like excitement, get a cocker spaniel.

Advanced breed-specific information

The Jack Russell Terrier Handbook is like no other book available for the breed. The emphasis is on providing the most in-depth and up-to-date informaton about subjects vital to caring for and living with a JRT, including behavior problems and training, medicine and hereditary health problems, nutrition, genetics, and breeding. Information on fun stuff to do with your terrier, such as training for earthdog competitions or even going hunting, is also included, as are tamer diversions such as agility, racing, and conformation. This is not a book of pedigrees and show-win photos, but a book for people who enjoy the JRT in every facet of its being. Intersperced in the text are lots of color photos of JRTs in action, and tidbits of technical information (Terrier Tech) and facts (Jack Fact). A book for people who want to excel at JRT ownership.

GREAT!

I used this book for a project and it gave loads of great info on JRT's. I have one of these dogs and I love it. My dog really can relate to the things in this book. If you are thinking about getting a Jack Russell Terrier you should buy this book!

A wonderful JRT book...

I enjoy Dr. Coiles' books. She is practical, experienced and has an obvious love for canines. This is a good beginners book for JRT owners...it is a shame that a lot of people get one of these guys before they read about them first...she helps a great deal. Again, well worth the time and investment.
