Amazon.com Review

Westminster is regarded as the mecca of U.S. dog shows, guaranteed to create a superstar out of any winning canine. Understandably, the road to Westminster is a long and challenging one, but one which many owners of purebreds aspire to travel. Bob and Toni Freeman have traveled the professional dog-show circuit for more than 20 years, showing their beautiful Clumber spaniels. The couple share their collective wisdom in The Road to Westminster, a book bursting with information on selecting, raising, and preparing dogs for showing. Throughout, the Freemans emphasize the importance of enjoying your puppy as he grows and develops, champion dog or not.

Health care features prominently in the book, with an emphasis on the purebred dog. The authors list the symptoms of common illnesses and the appropriate actions an owner should take. A useful glossary of dog-show terminology completes the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the beginning dog fancier!, November 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Road to Westminster: How to Select and Train a Purebred Dog and Prepare It for the Show Ring (Paperback)
I found this book to be an excellent resource when I was just beginning in the dog show world almost 10 years ago. The Freemans were able to turn the sometimes baffling "rules" of the show world into plain and understandable english. I learned so much from this book. Everything an aspiring show dog owner needs to including selecting your first show puppy, early show training, pre-show preparations and tips for handling in the ring.
