5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful reference..., March 15, 2002
As a cat owner who is looking into getting one of these wonderful dogs, I have found the information in this book to be excellent - much above the rest (I think I own every book about Bostons). Not only does the book discuss how to pick out an appropriate Boston, it also discusses the good and bad characteristics of the Boston Terrier. I found the section on raising a puppy to be a wonderful resource, considering raising kittens is a much, much different experience. I would suggest this book to anyone who is considering adding a Boston Terrier to their family.

2.0 out of 5 stars Found this book showy and impractical, November 5, 2004
By Matthew Cory (Markham, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This book seemed to be more about the author and his acquaintances rather than about the dog itself. I was hoping there would be a lot more meat: sources other than the author's opining and the penchant towards show dogs. I was looking for a functional manual on living with, training and caring for a Boston. What I got instead was a testament to the breed and pictorials of various show dogs and what seemed to be the author's friend's dogs. This book was a fair treatment of the breed but not at all what I would recommend for a practical "owner's guide."

4.0 out of 5 stars A New Owner's Guide to Boston Terriers, May 20, 2001
By Scott A. Eckstein (Bloomfield, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews
A very good book. It contained a lot of useful information, that I was unaware of. The time spent reading this book was well worth it, especially when you consider the time I saved by following the advise and tips it contains. I recommend it highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!
Bostons are alert, intelligent little dogs. This book gives an excellent overview of the history, care and training of Boston bulls. Read more
