Hi all
Has anyone got a copy of ourdogs newspaper this week.Their is an add for 3 novels about dog showing.I had the paper but my pup had an accident on the floor,yip you got it my son used the paper to clean it up.Would be grateful
if someone could give me the name of the author and title of the books.
many thanks linda.
Ps would like to wish everyone a merry christmas and a very happy new year.

Hi
I get OD on line so can't look for the ad but I wondered if they might be by Margaret Duckett latest is called "And now a triangle" pretty sure there were 2 previous called "Straight Up and Down" and something like "Take them Round".
I had a look in the OD online shop and couldn't see them but if you contact OD they may be able to give you more details.

If it isn't these there are also some by Sonia Ann(e) Grief about showing but names escape me.

Hope this helps and the compliments of the season to you
Anne :-D

thank you Anne
Had a look in the shops today could`nt find it.So will order from OD.
cheers linda

Hi,
I feel a bit dim on this, but I am also very interested in novels with "dog" base!
I am having no luck locating any of those you mentioned- not even OD! I am in the States, and we just don't seem to have access to many of the dog books that you in the UK do.
Can anyone give me more specific info on UK booksellers that may have these paticular books and others of the same genre? THANKS!
TiaLee

try Amazon here in the UK rather than the US version

Hi Tia Lee,
I can't speak with authority on US but I did work in a library here so can give you some authors to look for I hope they are available in US.
1) Joyce Stranger masses of animal books esp dogs

2) Anita Burgh Breeders

3) Amanda Scott she's a vet books have animal background

4) Jilly Cooper Riders Rivals Polo etc all have dogs in them

5) Nop's Trials author escapes me but this one is set in US sheepdog trials

6) Jean Ure Whistle and I'll come kid's book but vey good and a real tear jerker about rescue

Hope that gives you something to go on with
Anne

If you ask in library/bookstore they may have a ref tool called Cumulative Fiction Index which lists novels by subject. Happy Reading :-D

Novels, eh.... :)
Look for Albert Payson Terhune's books (Lad, a dog; etc..) . They're older, but still good imo :) I think they were set in NJ during the 1930's.
There's also the late Victiorian "Beautiful Joe" which caused a lot of Animal cruelty laws to become enacted.
Otherwise, not much out there. It seems that horses get the good books :( :rolleyes: :)

There is a series of mysteries that has an owner of westies involved. I've never read them, just seen them on the shelves. They just looked too "cutesy" and "gimicky" to read. Can't help you with the author or title, sorry. I just glanced at them on the library shelves.

Any other fiction with dogs in it out there? I'd love to 'read more about it' :)

Looked up OD's third book is called Do It Again Please by M Duckett

Talking of Books
I've being looking for books by Hester Garnett-Orme 'Border Tales'??? not quiet sure of the title but it was published in 1964 I've tried the net and I found nothing
Can anyone help Ann

Hester Garnett-Orme "Border Tales", ISBN: 0-944875-20-3, The Graven Herald Ltd, Skipton, 1967

Hopefully you may be able to order it?

Alternatively , if you go to Abe books you may be able to ask them to see if they can get it for you?

Melody

Thanks Melody
I had'nt thought about ordering it but I think its out of print I,ve seen it once as a raffle prize and I wanted it more than the lottery.I'll try Abe.
Ann

Thanks so much everyone!!
There are a few USA authors, mostly mystery, that center on dogs. I especially recommend Susan Conant(Malemute+) and Laurien Berensen(Standard Poodle+).
But I am constantly hearing of books that we never see over here from all the Brits.
Oh, and that's Don McCaig that wrote the two Nop books- "Nop's trials" and "Nop's Hope". Very excellent reads, both.
TiaLee

Didn't know about Nop's Hope will look out for it, thanks
Anne
