Toy Fox Terrier.......2007-09-27
Great Book! Everything you ever wanted to know about Fox Terriers. It's like an encyclopedia of the Fox Terrier. I continue to refer to it for helpful information.
Toy Fox Terrier (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series.......2005-09-13
This was a very well put together book with lots of good information. My only dissapointment is that it seemed a bit too generic - not breed specific. Its as if the words "toy fox terrier" were inserted with the same info used with other dogs and other books.
Book Description
This book is like having a conversation with a mentor. Davidson discusses every aspect of the breed, from a detailed explanation of the breed standard, temperament and character, to history, selection, care and breeding. There are chapters on training the show puppy and the Toy Fox Terrier in obedience. One of the most interesting is "The Versatile TFT," which covers a miriad of activities that this tiny breed can do, such as show biz acts, flyball, and hunting. The Appendices include a valuable section on genetic disorders and diseases affecting TFTs.

Pretty Good.......2003-04-03
Nice pictures with good information. Found better and more concise books however.
A complete suprise!.......2001-12-07
First and formost, if you are thinking of getting a Wire Fox, (or as my family call them, "Frankie dog's" -thats the name of our litte terroir) get one. They are the sweetest things on earth, and deffinatly the cutest also. Now for the book, talk about quality! We have had our book for about 6 years, and none of the pages are even ripped. The book gives detailed history of the breed, tips on feeding them, grooming them, and taking care of them. One time we wanted our groomer to cut Frankie a certain way, so we brought in the book and showed the groomer, she was so amazed and wanted to buy it off us! I have never had such a complete and thorough book that has beauty at the same time. Sometimes my mom and I will think that Frankies ears are in a weird position, or his stance is irregular, we just look in the book and sure enough, he's fine :) *****Overall~~~~ Great buy!
A Beautiful Book.......2000-11-05
The photos in this book will make you fall in love with the breed!
Finally - a Hand Book for the New WFT Owner.......2000-04-05
I was glad to finally find a reliable handbook on the WFT. This book did provide good information for any new puppy owner focusing on certain aspects of the WFT. The chapters on grooming and training were very beneficial. Although I felt a little overwhelmed with the history chapter it was interesting. The pictures throughout the book are beautiful. Since I have not been able to find any other books on the Wire Fox Terrier I would recommend this one to others.

Some good ideas and photos but a bit too autobiographical........2001-06-18
Yes, this book does contain many useful items of information concerning the behavior, care and grooming of "Aussies." There are also numerous high quality photos of various champion show dogs. However,the book struck me more as an autobiography of the author, Nell Fox, than as a dedicated and comprehensive guide to the breed. I would suggest purchasing the book but only with the knowledge that much of it serves to sing in praise of the author herself! However,with that said; for those who are especially interested in the history of the breed and in Nell Fox's key role in bringing Aussies to America, this book is a must read.
Must-read for people owned by Aussie Terriers.......1999-11-19
Finally, a book about the Australian Terrier! This spunky breed has deserved its own book for a while now. A great book for anyone who has ever encountered an Australian Terrier.
Outstanding pictures and commentary on the Aussie........1998-08-06
This is one book that is hard to put down. The pictures alone are well worth the price of the book. This book far exceeds Nell's first book on the Aussie.
A Collector's Book.......1998-07-29
It has been 25 years since the last publication in the United States about the Australian terrier. One of the frustrating experiences in the past was to find a book (that was not out of print) about the breed. This solves the problems for the novice to the breed as well as for established kennels. This is a well written, informed, and beautifully illustrated monograph. It should be sent home with each new puppy as a reference on grooming the Aussie, training, history, and showing.
This book is a best buy!
An informative guide to Australian Terriers.......1998-07-22
Nell Fox, the author of Australian Terrier, was a pioneer in the introduction of these dogs to the United States. In her book she tells the facinating history of the breed and adds period photos of interest. Her section on raising a puppy is packed with tips for any breed as well as the specific needs of these terriers. Of interest, this is a high quality printing with knockout graphics.

You have to see a fox terrier to believe how amazing they are!.......2006-07-08
Save your money and do a Google search on fox terriers or actually visit a breeder and see many different fox terriers to get a true sense of their personality. There is no way a book can adequately capture the essence of these unique and spunky dogs.
Excellent.......2003-04-03
If you are going to buy one fox terrier book make it this one.
Simple and concise with pertinent information.
The Good Doctor Tells All.......2002-04-12
With FOX TERRIERS, Dr. Vanderlip has given us a very informative, interesting, and delightful look at our beloved little "square dog". Her knowledge of the breed and animal care, and her love of dogs, shines through in each chapter.
This book will be easily understood and enjoyed by everyone who reads it, as she personalizes the little terriers she speaks about, with their own names, - "Anna" and "Willie".
Throughly covering all aspects of living with and caring for a Fox Terrier from puppyhood to old age, it is expertly written and packed with beautiful full-color photos of both Smooth and Wirehaired representatives of the breed.
It will be hard to find another book on the Fox Terrier that defines this breed's character so precisely. I can attest to this, as I belong to 5 Smooth girls.

Amazing Book.......2004-10-22
I have never seen anyone with more passion for dogs than Grandpa Harold. The man had an intense dedication to everything he did and the research and images used in the book are fabulous. Anyone with any kind of appreciation for terriers will want to see these absolutely beatiful pictures of smooths/wires. I can say because I have seen the work and time that went into this by a single man that this is truly a must have.
Excellent photographical record of Fox Terrier.......1998-02-07
I enjoy tracing the history of my dogs and being able to see the pictures of relatives taken while still in their prime. Research on all the kennels is very interesting for historical content. A MUST in your library for those seriously interested in the Fox Terrier.

Good Photos, Little Information.......1999-09-16
This book is full of good, glossy photos of Fox Terriers, but even at its low price, I am disappointed in the amount of substance in the book. While I was reading it, I got the feeling that it is just one of a series of dog books, in which the name of the breed on the cover is
into the text (i.e. change "poodle" to "fox terrier" and you would have a new book). There was very little "breed specific" information, other than the Breed Standard, which was lifted from the AKC.

Book Description
Thoroughbred in appearance, the Fox Terrier reigns as one of the world's most beloved companions, the proverbial children's dog, and most renowned show dogs, a perennial favorite for Best in Show. Whether clad in a dense, crisp wire coat or a straight, hard smooth coat, the Fox Terrier is a handsome and distinctive terrier breed. Three "F's" describe the Wire and Smooth Fox Terrier: friendly, forthcoming and fearless, qualities that can be seen in abundance in working dogs, show dogs and pet dogs alike. The Fox Terrier makes an ideal pal for everyone, from toddler to senior citizen, truly a wonderful addition to a family seeking a companion dog.
The Author, Muriel P. Lee, a terrier expert, breeder and judge, shares her considerable insight into the Fox Terrier's characteristics and breed standard. Comprehensive in every way, this new owner's guide includes a history of the Wire and Smooth Fox Terriers in England and the US plus chapters on puppy selection and care, everyday maintenance, including feeding, grooming the wire and smooth coats, and exercise, house-training and obedience lessions, showing and competing with a Fox Terrier, and care for the senior dog.

Great Gift for the Collector.......2001-11-16
I'm not the shoe collector... the wife is so I bought her this guide. She loves it, which ends up costing me more money, 'cause now she wants more shoes.
Everything in one book.......2001-01-09
Considering this is the only book in the market for the JTRS collection, it contains mostly everything you would need to complete your collection. All of Raine's shoes, up to the end of 2000, are included in this book along with her Take A Seat collection. There are brief descriptions for each shoe and the suggested retail price with a place for you to enter the price you paid for each piece. There is an interview with Raine as well as a brief history about the shoe collection. Keep in mind that since this collection is rather new, the market value information will be limited.
Just The Right Shoe Collectors Guide.......2000-11-29
This book is a beautiful book as far as the pictures go and it does have all the lines and styles in one book, but the price guide is very limited. It doesn't break down the generation of the shoes, ie: Thailand or China, shoe box colors (a collector's item in themselves), or oddities and their value as most are rare. This publisher should use the similar guidelines of their Beanie Baby Collectors Guide and break down the generations or in this case production generations, and it's varities. As it stands now, it is just a catalog.

Title says great for Homeowner, I disagree.......2007-04-26
Pictures are great and info is good too. My main complaint is the the book and index is arranged alphabetical by botanical name and not common name. There is no common name index or cross reference either. It does give common names on the individual pages, so you might find what you are looking for by browsing the 411 pages. I fail to see how this is homowner freindly unless you are a homeowner that happens to have have a degree in hortoculture.
A useful way to meet the Florida natives........2005-10-11
As an Northern imigrant gardener to the South Florida eco-system I have found Nelson's "Florida's Best Native Landscape Plants" a useful place to meet and get to know the Florida Natives for the following reasons.
1. He has narrowed the list to 200 of the most useful plants in Landscaping.
2. It is a reference book rather than a text book--using a useful format to describe each plant. The inclusion of a category for companion plants is very helpful in getting the right plant in the right place.
3. He presents a useful summary of the wisdom of using native plants--A point that seems so obvious to me but most imigrant gardeners and almost all plant suppliers and nursuries resist.
4. The layout of devoting 2 facing pages to each plant and including a close up view, a mid-range view and a full plant photo along with very well done illustrations is unique and very helpful.
What would I have liked that isn't there?
1. Foremost the biggest shortcoming is not providing a common name index. I support his decision to arrange by botanical name, and to include common name--but in this day of easily assembled indexing I find it a major shortcoming not to have included the common name index. The result is I need another book to find many of the plants--It is a combersome way to meet the natives--usually introduced by common or nick names. Apart from this shortcoming I would rate it a shiny five star.
Less significantly:
2. Most of the pictures appear to be taken in a non-homescape or landscape setting and many are not of professional quality
2. The format did not include or really allow space for more information on how to care for and use the plant.
I find it a useful but insufficient guide to "meeting the Florida natives."
Here is a horticultural treasure trove of choices.......2004-04-03
Florida residents and visitors to the state who want to embark on gardening projects for relatives will find Gil Nelson's Florida's Best Native Landscape Plants will provide them with a fine and knowledgeable overview of native plants available to the Florida gardener. Here is a horticultural treasure trove of choices, providing technical details on the design, maintenance, and use of a wide range of readily available native plants. The notes on companion plants are especially valuable.
