5.0 out of 5 stars A very informative book., May 20, 1998

By	Kathy Prickett, [e-mail] (Vero Beach FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jack Russell Terriers: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

I found this book to be very helpful. I read the whole book and sometimes refer to it when I have a question or someone else has a question. She portrays the JRT very well and this is definitely the book for people who are thinking of getting a JRT. It outlines what to expect from this breed of dog and tells you how to handle some situations that arise. I'm glad I had this book when my female came into heat and had her first litter. It was a guide for me as I did not know what to expect. Very well written.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful JRT book..., May 11, 1998

By	KitchenSharkMama "MicahBina" (NC,, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jack Russell Terriers: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

I enjoy Dr. Coiles' books. She is practical, experienced and has an obvious love for canines. This is a good beginners book for JRT owners...it is a shame that a lot of people get one of these guys before they read about them first...she helps a great deal. Again, well worth the time and investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Owners Manual, February 20, 2003

By	Cheryl Allie (Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This really is an owners manual in a small package for a small price. I like it so much that I give one to all new owners when I sell a puppy! That way I know the pup will start out right in its' new home and they'll have the best advice on living with a JRT.
