Very informative but a little too generic.......2004-08-09
I found the book easy to read with loads of great photos of TT's. The first few chapters on the description, origin, living with a TT and Grooming a TT were great. The large section on TT's in the US was irrelevant to me since I am from Australia and I was dissappointed in the last few chapters because they were very generic and packed full with advertisments for a particular companies products.
Still I think it is a good read for anyone considering obtaining a TT for the first time.
Left wanting to hear more . . ........2002-02-20
The photography in the book is great. I also liked the history on the breed. I was, however, disappointed by the minimal information in the book about the breed's temperment, personality and the pluses and minuses of the breed. I was yearning for more information about this. The second half of the book is devoted to the typical puppy information that was very generic and has been written about in almost every dog book I've read. Anne, next time give us more!!
great photographics, generics.......2000-02-11
Its a very good book for new commers also for other breeds but not for breeders. Why are not included the opinions of other breeders? It hase also commercial announcements I don¨t like that.
Great photographs, as well as terrific descriptions........1999-07-25
I have read this book because I am looking for a Tibetan Terrier. I did lots of research, and read many books, but this one was the best. I found in all the other books that they were a little generic, and didn't give good advice, or was a little out dated. I found this book very simple to read, and I read it in one day. It gives terrific advice on the do's and don'ts of the Tibetan Terrier. The pictures are terrific, but I found the information even more fantastic.

Obviously not written by a Griff breeder.......2005-07-07
What an insult to Griff breeders this book is. It is written by a writer who writes a lot of books about dogs, but he obviously never owned a Griff. The Griff has very special characteristics and needs, which the writer does not know. He probably used the same material to write about every other breed of dog, but Griffs are not just like other dogs.
Skip this book. The only good Griff book is by Doone Raynham but hard to get.
NOT VERY USEFUL.......2003-07-19
The "Brussels Griffon A Complete and Reliable Handbook" does not contain ANY USEFUL/VALUABLE information about the Breed AT ALL, just generally instructs you on how to raise a puppy which can be found in any other book (i.e. "HOW TO RAISE A PERFECT PUPPY" will also do the trick as it's just as NON-SPECIFIC about the Breed as "Brussels Griffon A Complete and Reliable Handbook")........WASTE OF PURCHASE.....NO MATTER HOW CHEAP IT'S BEING SOLD FOR..........the only reason I gave it a rating of "1 star" was that was the LOWEST RATING AVAIL...
Beautiful to look at, but formulaic text........1998-10-10
This book is one of a "breed" series by these well-known dog-subject publishers. Although it is beautifully produced with great photos, it contains several errors about Brussels Griffons probably due its generic, cookie-cutter format wherein much text is applicable to ANY breed. Also the book is filled with advertising for various dog foods & products which I, for one, resent.

Customer Reviews:
Definitely not easy on the eyes..........2002-02-20
Basically good information included, but the format was difficult to follow, and the type so small it was really hard to read.
Great guide for first time dog owners........2000-10-19
This book successfully guided my husband and I, first time dog owners, through all stages of adding a dog to our family. It offers advice on how to solve every problem we faced, and solved them conclusively. We found it indispensable. Although we had up to 7 dog training books that we had bought or taken out from the library, this was the one we always found the most helpful.
Great Book.......1999-11-25
This book is the best book on dog training I've seen sofar. The directions are clear, with very good pictures. The method is very dog and owner friendly. The introduction is very good, the explanations and the tips are very helpful. This is a great book, and I have recommended it to a couple of friends.
Poorly designed with only a few helpful tips........1999-11-01
The layout of this book is not only difficult to follow but provides little information that cannot be aquired elswhere and for less money. I would highly reccommend you look to another source for training information.
Wonderful illustrations!.......1999-09-02
This book is far easier to understand than many other training books I have seen. It really simplifies the whole training process with it's easy to understand descriptions and wonderful illustrations.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent quality colour photos.......1999-12-21
Excellent book for a general overview of the breed. I would recommend it to anyone with either a general interest in the breed or a specific interest. The colour photos are of an incredible quality and give the newcomer especially an idea as to the varying colours of the Tibetan Spaniel.
i haven't read this book.......1999-09-29
i realy want to read this book straight away im sure it will be very goo

Customer Reviews:
This is a great book on Dandies.......2003-01-07
I had heard this book was the best one on the Dandie Dinmont Terriers. It is an extraordinary book, and made well. The pictures are absolutely beautiful and highly glossy, with thick paper. There is a lot of interesting information on these wonderful dogs. I highly recommend this book to anyone who owns one of these dogs, or who happens to want one. Well written and worthy to be included in the best of collections.
This book covers every aspect of owning a Dandie Dinmont........1999-08-24
This is a long overdue book for folks seeking information about the intriguing Dandie Dinmont Terrier. It is informative of every aspect of the Dandie including the history and description of the standard with color pictures throughout. One chapter is devoted to raising a puppy. Several chapters include geographical, grooming and training needs of this terrier. Finally there is substantial material on health maintenance and potential medical problems.

Sussex Spaniel (Comprehensive Owners Guides)

Customer Reviews:
A "must have" book for all potential Sussex owners.......2003-07-23
purchased Mr. Lewis' book after our family decided to look for a puppy. I read his book cover to cover, many times before I was able to get our first of 3 Sussex. It is a thorough and informative book about this little known spaniel breed. His coverage of the history of the breed is facinating. I have not found as complete source of Sussex information anywhere else. My sister has purchased the book several yrs. ago and has also just purchased her first Sussex Spaniel. I highly recommend reading it prior to looking for a dog.
Sussex Spaniel by John Robert Lewis, Jr........2000-05-20
This book is the bible for Sussex Spaniel owners. It's also the only book on Sussex in print in the U.S. If you are seriously considering purchasing a Sussex you ought to buy and read this book before contacting a breeder. It will help you evaluate if you are willing to go through the process of buying and raising this rare breed and give you the basis to ask intelligent questions. Lewis' book is chock full of wonderful full-colour photographs that show Sussex at all ages of the two body types. These are beguiling dogs and the pictures will steal your heart. Lewis provides a through history of the breed both in England and the U.S. Like the Bible, Lewis spends a large number of pages on the "begats." This is very useful information for a novice breeder but a snooze for pet owners. Lewis also provides useful, general information for new puppy owners. He suggests specific toys that Sussex universally enjoy. My only criticism is the section on health. Lewis glosses over the real health concerns of Sussex owners. Sussex are a healthy breed with few problems but there are serious problems which occasionally occur. It would have been nice if the book provided information about how to recognize the early symptoms of these health problems. One final fun fact: One of the photos in the book identifies the dog as a Sussex but it's a Field Spaniel! After reading the book you should have no problem spotting the mistake.

The author really focused on the details of this beautiful breed. I definetly am now more interested in the breed than I was before. The pictures were wonderful, too!
A good resource with lots of great photos........1999-04-29
This is a good resource for anyone interested in Otterhounds. If you're new to the breed, or just seriously considering adding an Otterhound to your "family", you'll want to read this book. Even if you've lived with these big shaggy hounds for years, you'll want this revised edition of Dr. Mouat's book - because of all the great photos!

Customer Reviews:
Too many errors.......2004-05-04
It appears someone did not proof read this book before publishing. Too many errors, not only with words but with captions under photos of who owns the pictured dogs. I found too many "advertisements" thru-out the book suggesting the purchase of food, treats, toys etc.
I feel a person looking for a good book on Miniature Bull Terriers should purchase a Bull Terrier book instead, make sure it's not one of same publisher, and they'll get more information and correct information that they can apply to a Mini Bull as the only thing different is the size.
Didn't Care For This Book.......2003-07-06
I found lots of errors in this book. Many dogs and owners are misidentified. I did not find much about this book to be helpful.
Who can resist those faces?.......2002-08-01
This is not a long book, but it covers a lot; the origins and history of miniature Bull Terries, their temperment and needs, how to choose a puppy, basic care, the whole thing.
But the stars of the book are the many wonderful pictures, from week old puppies to champion show dogs, they are completely charming. So read the book, learn something, and have a wonderful time looking at the pictures.
