This review is from: Dig In!: Earthdog Training Made Easy (Hardcover)
The definitive information for beginning earthdog competitors and for those who have been in the sport for a while. Of course in my search for books on earthdog events, this is the only one I could find therefore making it the ultimate source. I did come across one that was listed briefly at a price of $99.99 but passed it up. This book does give you a lot of information to prepare the reader for participation in earthdog events with their dogs including a brief history, breeds to look for, training tips and rules of the sport. There is good use of photographs throughout the book to help support the information provided.

An entertaining and informative read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dig In!: Earthdog Training Made Easy (Hardcover)
Mario Migliorini has succeeded in raising his subject beond the level of a techniques and methods manual and instead has produced a highly entertaining and readable book. His easy open style and homespun anecdotes provide a facinating insite into the social origins of the ground dogs. A well researched and illustrated book, the section on hunting in the UK is a particular treat. Hard to put down, this book is worth a browse by anyone and is a must for Terrier enthusiasts.

This review is from: Dig In!: Earthdog Training Made Easy (Hardcover)
Although this book may not be the definitive earthdog book, it's a definite "buy" for your shelf. If you own an earthdog, you should own this book. And, if you own an earthdog, find an earthdog test in your area and go -- your dog will love you for it!
