The Jack Russell Terrier Handbook is like no other book available for the breed. The emphasis is on providing the most in-depth and up-to-date informaton about subjects vital to caring for and living with a JRT, including behavior problems and training, medicine and hereditary health problems, nutrition, genetics, and breeding. Information on fun stuff to do with your terrier, such as training for earthdog competitions or even going hunting, is also included, as are tamer diversions such as agility, racing, and conformation. This is not a book of pedigrees and show-win photos, but a book for people who enjoy the JRT in every facet of its being. Intersperced in the text are lots of color photos of JRTs in action, and tidbits of technical information (Terrier Tech) and facts (Jack Fact). A book for people who want to excel at JRT ownership.

Very good book. informative. I bought a Jack and the book at the same time and the book saved me a lot of headaches. A must have for the jack russell owner, or anyone thinking about getting a Jack. Thanks

Great book!
I have read quite a few Jack Russell books and this is very informative and very well written I would recommend this book highly, especially to someone interested in Jack Russells it explains a lot about the breed, showing, feeding, training and just understanding these special dogs. It's a must read!

I bought this book for my husband who is a recent member of the JRTC and is planning on raising Jack Russel show dogs. He loved it! Thanks!

I cant honestly give a true review on this book being that 3 days after receiving it i can not find it anywhere . there is a good chance my jack ate the book!

Got this book for my Dad since he is adopting a Jack Russell Terrier; we both agreed that it was a great book, especially for first-time owners of this kind of dog.

It's a wonderful handpocket book! Amazing and tender pics and useful tips makes a "must have" book for Jack Russell's owners...recomended!

Great Book, i even bought one for a friend. I'm a jack russell lover. Waiting for the next book to come out.

The author really know about Jack Russell Terriers. The book is well written and full of information. Highly recommend to any new JRT owners
