1 comments about The New Complete Scottish Terrier.

1. This book was originally published as The Complete Scottish Terrier in 1967. This is a new updated version of this work. Mr. Marvin was long active in this breed in the early days in this country. This volume examines in depth the history of this breed, the major champions in both the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the highlights of this book is the section on grooming the Scottish Terrier, with excellent drawings demostrating both correct and incorrect grooming. There is an extensive listing of British and American kennels that were active in this breed up to 1980. Also covered in depth is breeding axioms, conditioning show stock, bloodlines and line breeding and the standard for the breed. There is a large amount of black and white photos of past and present Scottish Terrier champions, including Scotties who won big at Westminster-best in show. Although this book is now out of print, it is not difficult to locate and is a must for anyone interested in this breed. Both the pet Scottie owner and the Show enthusiast will learn much from this volume. The cover is green and white with a large photo of the great champion "Carmichael's Fanfare" who won BIS at Westminster. This dog was handled by John Murphy and owned by Mr. & Mrs Charles Stalter.

1. As a long-time breeder of Scottish Terriers, I first bought this book for myself, as well as several other same-type books. This book, however, I found to be very complete and thorough for new owners of Scottish Terriers. This breed of dog is not your everyday lab. and requires specific knowledge. I have a lot of confidence in this book that goes out the door with every pup I sell to a new Scottie owner. It offers all a new Scottie owner needs to know about the dog type, breed expectancy, feeding, grooming, and training, etc., as well as general dog ownership information. A strong five stars.

1. This volume is officially approved by the Scottish Terrier Club of America, one of the oldest breed clubs (founded 1900). The book has a large amount of excellent color photographs throughout, as well as black and white photos of early champions. The history of the breed is examined in depth, the breed standard, sections on champions old and modern. Bloodlines of some of the major dogs are also examined. There is a complete chapter devoted to the professional handlers who have campaigned the Scottish Terrier in the show ring. The book also covers choosing a pup, some breeding information, and also some other unusual activites such as obedience (who says terriers aren't obedient! ) and there is even a wheaten scottie who has police training mentioned in this book! Mrs. Lee previously authored a book on raising and whelping puppies that is considered one the best books available on this subject. She has been active in this breed showing, breeding and judging in AKC conformation. The front cover of the book is very attractive with a plaid ribbion, the offical seal of the Scottish Terrier Club of America, and a large color photograph of Champion Blanart Bewitching. For anyone interested in the "diehard" this is THE indispensable book both in the detail in the text and the lush photography. There is a wealth of information for both the pet owner and the show enthusiast.



2. This a wonderful book on the Scottish Terrier and is a great addition to the library of any fancier of the breed. I have not read a better accounting of the breed's history and development and the breed's character. The pictures are some of the best you will see in any dog book. The pictures also feature many of the late and great dogs of the past who figure so prominently in many pedigrees of the best Scotties of today.

1. With "the new Scottish Terrier," author cindy Cooks continues to contribute to this breed's notariety in this country. These are special dogs, and her love of the breed comes through loud and clear in every chapter.

   Non-owners of Scottish Terriers, or those considering "stepping up" to this breed will find a trove of useful information here, beginning with a concise history of the breed, and continuing through the Scottie's inroads and developments in America. Breeders and handlers will likewise find a hoard of useful information, as will "regular folks" who adore the breed.

   It's a good read, and a bargain at its current price. If you're a Scottie Lover, or even considering this breed, you owe it to yourself to check this out.




2. This is a must have for the scottie pet owner and those interested in the history and future of the breed. This book has so much valuable info and interesting stories! THANKS!!



3. Cindy is most knowledgeable about the breed, the Scottish Terrier, and is a co-owner of Anstamm Kennels in Michigan, one of the foremost breeders of the Scottish Terrier in the U.S. They have been successful breeders of Scotties for over 40 years...Cindy has put a lot of time and work into this book...she chronicles the breed from its beginning, and she highlights notable breeders in the United States....If you want to learn MORE about the Scottish Terrier...from start to finish, and be able to UNDERSTAND the lingo, buy Cindy's book...I highly recommend it!!!



4. This book is excellent for anyone that may be considering breeding or owning a Scottish Terrier. I was able to track my dogs' pedigree to many of the lines mentioned in the book. The affect that some of the breeders mentioned in the book had on the breed was very informative. It made me quite aware of how important it is to breed responsibly.



5. This is the very best book I have - or have ever read - on Scottie dogs. Wonderful history- so many tips- great on health- breeding- pictures- and my favorite page- 57- every scottie owner knows that love, the first time they ever saw their scottie or scotties for the very first time. This book makes a wonderful gift for anyone in love with the breed.

1. Matilda Private Eye: The Case of the Missing Socks
   
   Absolutely wonderful tale of a lovely Scottish lass! Loved it!



2. Great story of a Scottish Lass and her King Simon - Great for the Child in your life or the child in you :)



3. This is a delightful book for kids and all terrier lovers. I think the "9-12 years old" rating may be a big high. My 8-year-old adored it and it is a "just right" book for her to read herself. I think younger kids would love to have it read to them; by the 'tween years they may be a bit old for it.



4. Lisa McClafferty gives readers a witty, charming look into the good-hearted and "innocently" mischievous nature of Scottish Terriers. In this story, Matilda's investigation of missing socks leads the enthusiastic private eye into a magical adventure with a surprising revelation for the Scottish lass. A delightful tale, with beautifully drawn illustrations by Diane Aines; "Matilda" is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of children and adults alike! I'm very pleased to add this first edition to my nephew's storybook collection (and send copies to friends) and hope to read more of Matilda's "antics" in the future! I highly recommend picking up this gem!!!



5. The author displays a refreshing and extremely creative tale of a Scottish terrier and her 'King' Simon. A delightful story, beautifully illustrated, captivating children's attention from early ages through adulthood. Leaves you waiting for another episode!! A must-have for children of ALL ages! I gave it to all the children I know for Christmas.

3 comments about It Must Be Mary Margaret (Mary Margaret Adventure Stories Series).

1. A childrens story about a litter of Scotty puppies and their antics. Plenty of opportunities to discuss the illustrations to your young reader. It's fun!



2. My 3 1/2 year old son loves this book! He wants to read it every night. It is so cute and funny! It is a true story about a litter of puppies (especially one in particular - Mary Margaret) and their adventures. It uses repetition that kids love so much and also teaches the days of the week. The illustrations are great too! A bonus of this book is that all the author's proceeds go to a charity!

   There is a second book comming out soon about Mary Margaret's adventures in her new home. I can hardly wait!

   A must have for any dog lovers with children - toddlers to kindergarten or older!!!




3. Mary Margaret is a cute little dog who gets into & out of trouble with her adventures. Children might identify with her because she wants to "do what's right".

5 comments about A New Owner's Guide to Scottish Terriers (New Owner's Guide To...).

1. This book is perfect for the beginning scottie owner, too. Not just the show person. It gives wonderful basic information on what to expect from living with a scottie.



2. I appreciated very much this book as it offers a wide array of subject about the Scottish from the day it is chosen to feeding and training all in a simple and pretty way. A bible for any scottish new owner.



3. Great information about the breed. This is not just another "one size fits all" dog book with the same doggy content and different breed photo on the cover. Scotties have an unique personality and need understanding.



4. There is a tremendous amount of information in this book that's generic and could apply to any dog breed. I was looking for information specific to the Scottie and was largely disappointed. When I got to the page where the authors talk about when your dog gets to 55 lbs. size, my attention waned -- Scotties are around 20 lbs. full grown! In large portions of the book, you could change the title and pictures, and you would be reading about any dog breed. The book also appeared to be somewhat of an 'infomercial.' It's disappointing in a book of this nature when one is directed to pet products by brand name, which I think challenges the credibility and impartiality of the authors.



5. The book provides tremendous incite into the Scottish Terrier thanks to the years Miriam Stamm has spent as a breeder, owner and handler of Scotties. In fact, her kennel, Amstamm, is one of the most important breeding kennels in our country for furthering and protecting the breed.
   If you own, are interested in or about to acquire a Scottish terrier buy this book.You will not be disappointed.

   This is a special book reflective of the Scottie as a special breed!

5 comments about Scottish Terriers.

1. This is a great little book about this breed of dog filled with general care to include diet; health; grooming and training as it pertains to the Scottish Terrier. It is filled with lots of nice pictures which help the person newly acquainted with the breed, especially since they are not a commonly seen breed. Very informative and useful book, and one of the few devoted entirely to the one breed. I liked it and would recommend it.



2. I expect good pet books to guide me in the search for relevant information. This manual on Scottish Terriers does an excellent job of providing a thorough overview of what this interesting breed is like to live with and if it fits with a prospective owner's lifestyle. For the established Scottish Terrier owner, it offers a handy book on the shelf as a step-by-step guide to feeding, excercising, grooming,training and keeping your dog in good health.

   The author, and experienced veterinarian, and author of numerous companion animal books, provides accurate and practical medical advise for owners. I found the criteria for puppy selection (specific, practical clues to sorting out the "most likely to suceed") very useful and the "basic training" tips very constructive in molding a terrier personality into a obedient, fun-loving pet.

   The book format is well above average--complete, logically laid out, generously illustrated, and arranged to make for informative reading or a quick reference book.

3. Thank you for your prompt service. Your communication every step of the way was greatly appreciated.



4. This is a great first book for anyone preparing to purchase a Scottish Terrier. This book is full of the basic questions in regards to temperment, characteristics, basic vet questions, basic commands. If you get this it will help, it is easy to read and very understandable and with lots of pictures. If you bring one of these little live wires into your home. Good Luck and Great Patience. They are stubborn and wonderfully loyal dogs.
   Linda C.



5. This is a good book for someone who is about to buy a dog of this breed, but not for someone who has one already. It provides important information to be considered in the long term.
