5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for new or current JRT owners, July 20, 2000

By

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide To Jack Russell Terriers (Paperback)

I have owned JRTs for several years now and this book hits home hard. If you are even considering getting one of these dogs this book is the place to start. In fact, I gave it to some of the people who were planning on buying pups from us who knew nothing about the breed. It explained more than I could tell in an interview with a new or expectant owner. It made up the minds of some and disuaded others. It will always be a part of my collection of books on the breed beacuse it puts things in terms that non-owners can understand. This book is a "must have."

I could not have survived the puppyhood of a JRT without this book. It was pretty hectic but This book helped me deal with it. This book helps you take on the tenacious but lovable JRT.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Owner Essential, April 19, 2000

By 

Dana (Greenbelt, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide To Jack Russell Terriers (Paperback)

While the title is, admittedly, horrible, this informative, interesting and easy-to-read book covers all aspects of owning and/or being owned by a Jack Russell Terrier. Nutrition, purchasing a puppy, health care, and training are just a few of the topics addressed in this book. Everything is written in a simple and straight forward manner that is both educational and unpretentious. This is an invaluable reference guide!
