5 comments about Australian Terrier.

1. Nell Fox, the author of Australian Terrier, was a pioneer in the introduction of these dogs to the United States. In her book she tells the facinating history of the breed and adds period photos of interest. Her section on raising a puppy is packed with tips for any breed as well as the specific needs of these terriers. Of interest, this is a high quality printing with knockout graphics.



2. It has been 25 years since the last publication in the United States about the Australian terrier. One of the frustrating experiences in the past was to find a book (that was not out of print) about the breed. This solves the problems for the novice to the breed as well as for established kennels. This is a well written, informed, and beautifully illustrated monograph. It should be sent home with each new puppy as a reference on grooming the Aussie, training, history, and showing.

   This book is a best buy!




3. This is one book that is hard to put down. The pictures alone are well worth the price of the book. This book far exceeds Nell's first book on the Aussie.



4. Finally, a book about the Australian Terrier! This spunky breed has deserved its own book for a while now. A great book for anyone who has ever encountered an Australian Terrier.



5. Yes, this book does contain many useful items of information concerning the behavior, care and grooming of "Aussies." There are also numerous high quality photos of various champion show dogs. However,the book struck me more as an autobiography of the author, Nell Fox, than as a dedicated and comprehensive guide to the breed. I would suggest purchasing the book but only with the knowledge that much of it serves to sing in praise of the author herself! However,with that said; for those who are especially interested in the history of the breed and in Nell Fox's key role in bringing Aussies to America, this book is a must read.

1. This book has very little specific information about the Aussie and a lot of general dog information better presented in other books. For example, I was looking for grooming information on stripping and was told to ask a breeder. The issue of bathing a hard coated dog was given the answer, bathe the dog as you like.



2. The book is impressive and all Australian Terrier owners should have one. It covers most aspects of the Breed - puppy care, everyday care, health care, training, showing and History. It has lots of colour photos of Australian Terriers in most situations. It is well written, easy to read, and well set out. I especially liked the three consecutive pages which illustrated the Australian Terrier's physical structure, internal organs and skeletal structure, all illustrated on the same dog and very easy to understand.
   Grooming is hard to explain in a book - the breeder should give a guidance when selling the puppy. If the dog has a harsh coat (as it should) any shampoo, other than a conditioning one, will do, as I have found with my terriers.
   The book has an Index (many books don't!). It is a high quality book, I am really pleased to have a copy.

3. I am very pleased with the response time in which ordering, shipping, and receiving was handled. I received the books I ordered in less than a week w/o any problems. I will use this form or purchase again.



4. This book has been extremely informative about Austrailian Terriers. A new breed for me, it gives information through each chapter of how to be, how to train and what these darling little dogs need and want from a new owner. From coming home the first day to vet trips, training tips, house breaking tips. Just an excellent source of information.
