5.0 out of 5 stars BREED GUIDE BY AKC JUDGE JOHN MARVIN, May 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Complete Scottish Terrier (Hardcover)

This book was originally published as The Complete Scottish Terrier in 1967. This is a new updated version of this work. Mr. Marvin was long active in this breed in the early days in this country. This volume examines in depth the history of this breed, the major champions in both the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the highlights of this book is the section on grooming the Scottish Terrier, with excellent drawings demostrating both correct and incorrect grooming. There is an extensive listing of British and American kennels that were active in this breed up to 1980. Also covered in depth is breeding axioms, conditioning show stock, bloodlines and line breeding and the standard for the breed. There is a large amount of black and white photos of past and present Scottish Terrier champions, including Scotties who won big at Westminster-best in show. Although this book is now out of print, it is not difficult to locate and is a must for anyone interested in this breed. Both the pet Scottie owner and the Show enthusiast will learn much from this volume. The cover is green and white with a large photo of the great champion "Carmichael's Fanfare" who won BIS at Westminster. This dog was handled by John Murphy and owned by Mr. & Mrs Charles Stalter.
