5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for your collection, January 11, 2000

By	Patrick W. Steehler (Lakebay, Washington) - See all my reviews

I was very taken with the book. So much that I contacted Mary Strom and purchased one of her puppies. She was not only very helpful, but made sure I had every bit of information I needed to make my Jack Russell terrier happy and healthy. I recommend this book to anyone that is looking to purchase or adopt a Jack Russell terrier. The information contained within is indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars For current or potential JRT owners this book is a must!, September 22, 2002

By	Cameron R. Wiegartz "Cameron" (IL, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book lets you get to know the exciting and roudy Jack Russell Terrier. My wife and I purchased this book prior to purchasing our JRT. It was (and still is) a wonderful resource. Anything for grooming, training and enjoying your pup is in this book. The author also includes stories from her past ownership of many Jack Russells. Excellent book!
