4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photos of Rat Terriers, but lots of general info., August 10, 1999

By A Customer

Rat Terrier: A Complete and Reliable Handbook, is a very handsome book. The photos couldn't be more glossy and enjoyable to look at. If you are a Rat Terrier lover, you will surely find these photos, taken of all sizes and colors of Rats, in various stages of life, locations, and poses, great fun to compare to your own special pet.

This book is 93 pages long, and the first 29 pertain to the history and standards of the breed. The vast majority of the remaining 64 pages might just as well apply to any breed of dog, as they contain general dog care information: feeding, grooming, housetraining, obedience training, and general health issues. I found the book somewhat disappointing in that respect, however, I still enjoyed it, even if just to learn a little more about the breed and to peruse the wonderfully shiny photos in the book. (Excluding the eight totally unnecessary photos of various recommended "Nylabone" products.)

I am glad, however, that Linda Hibbard put together this book so that there is at least one easily obtainable publication dedicated exclusively to this wonderful little breed of dog. If you are a book lover as well as a Rat Terrier lover, get the book - it's fun! If you are primarily seeking information on Rat Terriers, but don't feel the need to buy a book to get it, check out the National Rat Terrier Association website at NRTA.com - you can learn just as much, if not more, about the breed there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rat Terrier complete and reliable handbook, March 22, 2000

By	Phyllis Borchmann (USA) - See all my reviews

Being a new owner of a Rat Terrier I found this book excellent from an historical perspective. Everything I read seems to be present in my Rat Terrier. I found it very useful and informative regarding their traits and habits.

I enjoyed all the pictures,description and explanation of the various sizes that these little guys come in....I would highly recommend purchasing this book!

If you are a new Rat Terrier admirer/owner like myself, you will like this book. The quality of the book and the photographs are surprisingly extra good.
