I think this book was written just for me, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I have been studying the sport of dog showing for six months and have had many questions. This book has answered almost all of them, and of course gotten me to ask more.
It is very detailed from just attending your first show and what is going on, to entering your first show and what to bring, all the way to being a winner. The format made it very easy to read with pointers from the Pros, notes of interest, and a review at the end of each chapter. I read the book cover to cover in a matter of days, but you could also only read sections that were of interest.
I plan to keep this book close by and refer back to it as I continue my quest of Dog Shows. Thanks for this wonderful informative book.

Used review
When purchasing a used book I realize you are taking a chance, but I never expected a book with such colorful kid markings where a small child apparently used it to play school…

Good overview
While this doesn’t go into a great deal of detail, this is an easy to read primer to get started. Good information throughout to get started towards winning.
To start to show your dog this book should be your first reading. It was recommended to me by an AKC showdog breeder/handler.(Without this book I would have a hard time to understand the point system) Covers all the aspects of showing a dog from anatomy to the paperwork in an easy to read, and entertaining format. The “Tips from a Pro” is priceless.
I strongly recommend to anybody how is thinking to show their dog, or just to be familiar with dogshows and what handlers are doing in the ring and why.

Great for UKC Fanciers
This book was OK. It is a good guide for showing in the UKC. There are some good references in the book. I found it very helpful as a companion book on the subject of showing.

Great for the newcomer to showing
I’ve been involved in obedience for many years but I am venturing into conformation for the first time and have found this book able to demystify much of the show politics.
