5.0 out of 5 stars Well Rounded Book, August 25, 2002

By	Lisa Pruitt "lisam3" (Spring, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a fantastic introduction for anyone new to the breed or considering the breed. It gives information about the history of the breed but gives information about border personalities and issues

5.0 out of 5 stars A Grrreat book for anyone interested in Border Terriers, July 24, 2000

By	S. Sills (Clearwater, Florida, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is well written, and includes every aspet of Border Terrier Ownership. Vertie doesn't recomend borders to everyone (witch I have seen many books do) and she puts a major emphisis on not buying any dog on whim. There is also interesting facts and stories about the breed. Did you know that Border Terriers where James Herriot's favorite breed? This is an exelent book that I would recomend to anyone who has or wants anything to do with this breed!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book Worthy of the Breed, November 7, 2007

By	A. Shulman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fine comprehensive guide to Border Terriers. The author is English, appropriate for writing about a breed that is far more popular in the U.K. than in the U.S. Anyone thinking about acquiring one of these dogs as a pet should take the time to thoroughly read this book as it presents both the enormous rewards as well as the requirements for having a successful experience as the owner of a Border. Every aspect is covered, including the importance of stimulation for a breed that will happily curl up at your feet as long as there is some time in the day devoted to giving both physical and mental exercise to these intelligent and independent dogs. We liked the look of the Border Terrier on a dog show, read this book, found a breeder, and six years later, our Molly is a delightful part of our family.
