 Helpful advice for a beginner, 2008-05-31
I went to my first show before reading this book - I would have avoided a couple of mistakes if I had read it first! Very helpful advice for a novice in the show ring.

I've been showing for some time, and this book tought me so much, made me think things differently and be a better handler.
I absolutely recommend it to everyone involved in showing!

Pay Attention!, 2007-07-20
That seems to be the main message George Alston is giving. Pay attention to your dog, the judge, the ring conditions, and your competition. He gives great advice on how to adjust your stride, the leash, your grooming, etc. to give your dog the best opportunity to win. He also includes wonderful chapters on Psychology and Ring Etiquette, something that can make or break the handler - not just the dog. He shows showing as the art, not just the mechanics.

Must have for a Show Dogs Library, 2007-01-17
When I spoke to my dogs breeder, her comment was that I needed this book. I was happy to tell her I had already ordered and read it! She is a veteran and reads it every Spring before she steps into the Show Ring to brush up on things. I found it to be very helpful as a beginner and I've found it even more helpful after I've been in the ring a couple of times. It leaves out a lot of the "fluff" but is a great companion book to some of the others that start out at the very beginning. Very easy to read. Confidence builder!
