Customer Reviews:
A good general description book.......2005-10-12
As an owner of an Airedale teenager who has already searched the earth for information, I was not too chuffed by this book. What it does is offer a lot of general information which I happened to know already before purchasing this book. It certainly is a good reading material for those who do not know that much about the breed but that was not me. Yet since there is not much of book resources on Airedales, it is good to have this one than to have nothing.
best airedale book available today.......2002-12-19
This is the most complete Airedale book, without a lot of the extraneous general dog information found in other Airedale books. Has a good history and description of the breed as well as general care, ie for their difficult terrier coat. Good advise for first time owners and good reference for even experienced oweners.
Book Description
Originating in the valley of England's Aire and Wharfe Rivers, the Airedale Terrier rightly deserves its moniker "the King of Terriers." A multi-talented and versatile superdog, the Airedale possesses the gameness of a terrier along with the retrieving and hunting abilities commonly associated with the sporting breeds. The tallest of the British terriers, the Airedale Terrier stands about 23 inches at the shoulders and is 100% athlete, a well-muscled, strongly boned working dog that has served in the military through both World Wars. Today the Airedale Terrier resides in pet homes around the world, highly regarded for his affectionate temperament and sweet nature as well as his ability to protect the home.

Best book For Breeders by Accomplished Breeders!.......2000-03-30
One of the best airedale books written by 40+ year veteran breeders. Chapters include information on the breed today, both here and abroad, reports of specific medical developments, whelping, and the versatility of the Airedale as a hunting dog, obedience performer, show dog, and family companion.

Some good information about the Airedale.......2000-03-28
I have two Airedale Terriers,male and female. This book does give you the background of the Breed.I never knew the Airedale was a modern dog,being only a century or so old,and that the Otterhound was mated to either the now-extinct Tangrizzle Terrier,or the old Brokenhaired English Terrier to make the Airedale Terrier. I have bought other books on the dog that gives extra information,but this one is a must buy for anyone who owns a Airdale,or any dog.It gives all dog owners helpfull information about caring for your pet,and problems we all experience.
Good beginning, bad ending.......2000-01-01
This book's first chapter was good. It explained the complete history of Airedales. However, past page 32, they did not even mention "Airedale" (it was only written in the captions). There were Airedale pictures throughout, but they ended in the middle of the book. The rest seemed like an advertisement for Nylabone. In conclusion, if you are looking for a breed specific book about Airedales, I would not suggest buying this book.
Book Description
WATCH DOGS: THEIR TRAINING AND MANAGEMENT. By Lieut.-Col. E.H. Richardson. A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT. Originally published in 1923, this extremely scarce early work on Guard Dogs is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author was Commandant of the British War Dog School during the Great War and was also responsible for several other books on War Dogs. Although he was familiar with the training and management of many different breeds, he will always be strongly associated with his favoured breed, the Airedale Terrier. The book's three hundred and sixteen pages contain sixteen detailed chapters and are well illustrated with vintage photographs. The Story of the Watch-Dog. - The Necessity for a Watch-Dog. - Uses of a Watch-Dog. - Purchasing a Dog. - Training Dogs. - Feeding, Exercising and Grooming. - A Dog on its Travels. - Breeding Dogs and Rearing Pups. - The Dog's Health. - Kenneling. - Man-Tracking as a Protection. - Dogs in the Great War. - Dogs for the Police. - British v. German Police Dogs. Etc. "The first to welcome, the foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still his master's own, Who labours, fights, loves, breathes for him alone." -Byron. This is a fascinating read for any historian or enthusiast of the Guard and Watch-Dog types, but especially for lovers of the Airedale Terrier. The book also contains much information and advice that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The very best reference for the Airedale Terrier.......2000-01-30
An excellent and thorough accounting of the Airedale Terrier. But its scope goes beyond just the history of the breed but tackled in detail the desirable physical characteristics and the proper grooming. Outstanding visual aids leave nothing to the imagination on the proper length of coat when stripping. Again and again, I come back to this book when I am grooming. It compares the bone structure with other canines as to fully explain and offer understanding as to what is desirable physically and why. This is a must for every Airdale Terrier owner's collection.
Book Description
THE MODERN AIREDALE By W. J. Phillips A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT This scarce early work on the "King of Terriers" was first published in 1921. First editions are now extremely expensive and very hard to find. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and photographs. The author was a well known personality in the Airedale world of his day, and writes from many years of experience. In these pages he has spared no information likely to be of beneficial help to the Airedale lover. The first portion of this work deals with the origin and earliest period of the Airedale, under its three names: Waterside Terriers, Bingley Terriers, and finally Airedale Terriers. The book's one hundred and sixty pages contain fifteen detailed chapters, including three by other authors: "Stone Age" of the Airedale. - From Waterside Terrier to Airedale Terrier. - Arrival of the Airedale. - Twenty Years with the Champions. - Breeding and Preparation for Shows. - Stripping the Airedale by C.W. Buttles. - Anatomy of the Dog. - Diseases. - Handling and Ring Etiquette. - Whelping, Rearing, Feeding. - Pedigrees and Inbreeding. - Standard and Points. - Training the Airedale and Hunting Big Game by J.G. Keefe. - Airedales on the Farm by W.H. Lingo. - A Directory of Leading Breeders. The contents are well illustrated by dozens of vintage photos of famous Airedales, and many line drawings. This is a fascinating read for any Airedale enthusiast or historian of the breed, with much of the information still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Customer Reviews:
To Pricey.......2001-10-02
Ok, they did their research here, yes, but if you are hoping to get a genralized idea on all paperback books, don't bother with this book. It's almost entirely of old paperbacks. One get's a sort '50-'60's feeling going on.... and it does not start by author, but by publisher, which is incomplete. Not all books that should be listed here, are. There are gaps everywhere. The pricing seems close, but still "off", and for the amount of money you need to put down for this book, I think there should be more pictures, ilustrations etc.., more variety period. This is a book from someones favorite time era, and even that, as mentioned before, is lacking, and has a LOT of gaps. The list of psuedonyms was helpful, a source that could not easily be found elsewhere compiled all nice and neat. Thumbs up for that. There are a LOT of collectible paperbacks out there, under many many subjects. Sadly, they just aren't in this particular guide. What I was willing to pay for , and what I was I was hoping to find..... was no where to be found. At the time of purchase, there were no reviews avaible, so I really hope this will help someone else find exactly what they are, or are not looking for, for themselves.
Worth the money!.......2001-09-26
When this book first arrived in the mail, I was upset to have paid 30 dollars for such a small book. But I've found it immensely useful.
The print is very small, and my guess is that the volume has as much content as larger format books. The arrangement is a little different: books are listed, first by publisher, then by publisher's item number. NOTE: date of publication is NOT given! So each entry is arranged thus:
PUBLISHER -PUB.# -TITLE -AUTHOR -CONDITION -PRICE
Additional, and valuable, info includes "Type" for special items such as Digests or Movie Tie-Ins, and whether the price was obtained by Auction as opposed to sale. There are some black&white illustrations of book covers, and a very useful chart of authors' pseudonyms. The explanatory introduction is very good.
The listings are not complete. For example, the Avon Books listings are for Avon books numbered 1,3,4,6,10,11,15, and so on. Such numbering gaps are typical, since the listings are "prices realized," i.e. real sales.
It's a little book, but a wealth of research went into it. I highly recommend it.
