highly recommended

What a great book!

I am just starting out with my first show puppy. This book was recommended to me and I bought it. It covers some things that are not covered in handling classes. Great pictures of what you are doing right or wrong when stacking your dog. Lots of illustrations of the patterns a judge might ask you to walk. WONDERFUL book and worth every penny!

Very Informative

I purchased this book and two others prior to showing my 9 mo. old puppy at a four day show with a Specialty in his breed. He placed Second in puppy sweeps on one day of the show and Reserve Winners on another day. In my opinion, my mentor and this book gave me a greater understanding of what the judges look for, how the point system works, how to work with my puppy in segments, and how to handle my dog in the ring. Some breeders at the show said I did fine, my puppy did fine, and that we were a team in the ring.
It was a very exciting and satisfying experience and I look forward to learning more from this book in the future. I am a beginner and there is much to learn.

Reader's review

I think its marvellous book for all beginner handlers and breeders who are interested for showing their dogs. I just started to read this book, but I can not set down. I found professional advices in this book.Raising a Champion: A Beginner's Guide to Showing Dogs

Great Beginners Guide

This book starts at A and goes to Z. I was very grateful when I stepped into the ring the last time and the Judge asked for a "Triangle"...the illustration from this book came to memory and we did just fine though I'd never seen the pattern in practice or at a show! I highly recommend this book and I will no doubt refer to it many times over the coming years. I plan to utilize it as I raise my next litter and look forward to seeing the results when used on a pup from the very beginning!
