Book Description

Comprehensive Owner's Guide September 1, 2003
Bolder than the average terrier, the Rat Terrier has earned the name "Feist" due to his reputation as a fearless, tenacious hunter. His proud owners know that he is also a devoted friend and companion, fiercely devoted to all in his home, including children, other dogs and even cats. For such a small dog, the Rat Terrier is a muscular, active dog, capable of a day’s work on the farm and able to keep up with the most energetic of owners, always delighted to be included in the family’s activities.

This Special Limited Edition is the only book of its kind dedicated to this remarkable terrier, a comprehensive, colorful guide that covers the breed’s development in Britain and rise to fame in America, characteristics and breed standard. Author Alice J. Kane also discusses the health care, obedience training, housebreaking and behavior of the breed. Written with both the pet owner and breed fancier in mind, this comprehensive edition promises to be an invaluable resource for all admirers of this charming and lovable pure-bred dog.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for people with Rat Terrier puppies!, February 22, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Rat Terrier: A Comprehensive Owner's Guide (Hardcover)
Because of the other review on this page, I almost missed out on the most comprehensive book of the Rat Terrier selections. I bought all three books. The Hibbard book has more info about the registries (and Nyla bones), and "Ratter Chatter" is a compilation of folks e-mailing one another about their Rat Terrier experiences.
THIS BOOK, BY ALICE KANE, HAS BY FAR THE MOST INFORMATION ABOUT THE CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF AMERICAN RAT TERRIER PUPPIES! We LOVE our new pup, and the books all help to let us know what we may expect from our precious, smart and personable puppy. I am SO thankful that I bought this book, it has been a big help! It's not easy to find books on Rat Terriers, and we are glad that we got all three books --- and especially grateful that the authors of the three books all took the time to write their books! Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book!, September 15, 2005
By 
This review is from: Rat Terrier: A Comprehensive Owner's Guide (Hardcover)
I bought both this book and the Linda Hibbard book. I could have just purchased this one because I think it is the best of the two. It covers everything! A very comprehensive book for me.I am an experienced mother of 4 kids, but I have never had a dog before,so I needed to know everything! I re-read parts of it all the time to help me be a good mommy to my rat terrier puppy. It has everything from the History of the rat terrier to training and behavior and vaccinations and everyday care. The training section has been particularly helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for people interested in the breed, August 17, 2005
This review is from: Rat Terrier: A Comprehensive Owner's Guide (Hardcover)
I found this book to be very helpful and nicely detailed. I particularly liked the many good quality photos. Inside the front cover is a two-page picture, with the physical characteristics pointed out and described as from the UKC's breed standard. The standard is also explained in detail in one of the chapters, and in the "Characteristics" chapter it has a good description of the personality traits of Rat Terriers. In the sections about puppies, everyday care, general health care, and senior dogs there is a lot of general information that could be applied to most breeds, but this is common in breed books. The "Health Care of Your Rat Terrier" section has good information about health issues more likely to occur in Rat Terriers, and the "Behavior of Your Rat Terrier" chapter has helpful info about expected behavior and how to deal with behavioral problems that may occur.
Overall, I found this book to be well-written, helpful, and enjoyable to read, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about Rat Terriers.
