I was very pleased with the "tricks" supplied in this book. I have raised and shown dogs for over 20 years and some of the ideas in this book cured problems that nobody else could. The book was written as a ready reference for exhibitors and I found it to be very informative. The rating would be higher if the author had included information on how to obtain some of the suggested items such as the whitener for coats, which I could not find at any store in my area. Overall, however, it was filled with useful and quick fixes to frequent problems!

You must get this book. I've met Pat Hastings in person and if her book blows you away when you read it, when you meet her, she'll knock your socks off. I've never met anyone as intelligent about dogs and structure as Pat. She knows it all, though she doesn't quite think so. This is an easy to understand book and you'll wonder how you ever got along without it when you're done. It will all become clear after you read this and the K-9 Structure book she recommends and paid to have reprinted!

Very informative. Great pictures and drawings of structure to explain what you are looking for.

A must have on any dog fanciers shelf. The book clearly covers what makes great dogs to priceless tips on the sport of dogs.

This book was chose to be on the prestigious 'DogRead' as a book selection of the month. We only do 12 books a year and this was NOVEMBER 2000. The author comes on line for the whole month to answer questions on the book. It was very well received by our 3000 member email group. The author was very knowledgeable and easy to understand even though also very in depth.
