3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I needed., July 5, 2001
By sue (Townsville, Qld Australia) - See all my reviews
Although this book has wonderful detailed history on the breed and many, many good colour photographs, it lacked detail in the care of and specific health problems of Boston Terriers. Health was covered in only 4 pages of 176 and these pages had photos on half of each page. I wanted a book as an ongoing reference as my puppy grows, what to feed him, when and how to train him myself; a book that I would continue to use beyond knowing the history of the breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wealth of Information!, July 4, 2000
By "wwhanger" (Boones Mill, VA United States) - See all my reviews
Muriel P. Lee gives an excellent detailed history of the breed, from its beginnings in the late 19th century to the 1990's. This book contains hundreds of photographs of champion Bostons throughout the history. Additionally, the breed standards are described with some detail, as well as illustrations. The chapters on characteristics, showing, breeding and health deal specifically with Bostons. Information is provided on the Boston Terrier Club of America as well as regional breed clubs. It is an excellent reference for people who are looking for their first Boston as well as the experienced fancier!

5.0 out of 5 stars AN EXCELLENT GUIDE TO THE BOSTON BULL, January 7, 2001
By BeatleBangs1964 (United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This excellent book is a comprehensive guide to the care and history of the Boston bull. The pictures are a delightful addition, showing the Boston in its natural glory.

I liked the part covering the history of this intelligent, hardy, high energy little dog. Champion Bostons are covered; their descendants are featured as well.

Special note has been made regarding the care of pregnant Bostons. More often than not, Bostons are delivered by C-section because their heads are too large for a natural delivery. Gentle suggestions are made to breeders and people who are interested in showing their Bostons.

This book is for everybody, from the serious breeder to the pet owner. It will delight anyone who has ever owned a Boston, owns one, will own one or who loves Bostons in general. Bostons are delightful little dogs.
