5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended by breeders..., October 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cairn Terrier (Hardcover)

this book is one of the best books on the market in years. It is extremely well illustrated with gorgeous photos. It's easy to read and understand and yet is as comprehensive as the Cairn Terrier is complex. It belongs on the holiday list of every current or prospective Cairn owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why doesn't this book come up with the initial search?, October 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cairn Terrier (Hardcover)

All the reviews you post on this book are five stars. Why doesn't it come up when I search for Cairn Terriers? I had to search for Cairns and the author to get it to come up on your search. This is by far one of the best books I've seen on the Cairn Terrier in years. People won't be able to judge for themselves if they aren't offered the opportunity to buy it. It's extremely well illustrated and informative, has many excellent photos and, as a breeder of Cairn Terriers, I feel it should be on every Cairn owner's holiday list.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Guide

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for regular people
Unless you are going to breed or show, don't buy this book. Three of the chapters aren't even written by the author. Breeding history and standards make up most of the book. Read more
