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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

A very interesting book for the 'will be' Australian Terrier owner.Good information and photos - and a lot of easy to understand information re training etc. Definitely a good read!

We have acquired an Australian Terrier and needed help with him. This book is very helpful in his growing up.
