What would be the best books to buy on Dog showing training,Handling & Tricks of the trade. Looking through Amazon there are so many, I would appreciate any info on the best ones. Thanks
A lot of the books on handling are written with the US show scene in mind. I also think that looking at it from the point of view of judging gives some far more useful insight. I'd suggest looking at Our Dogs bookshop (although they don't seem to have any titles in stock at the moment on showing/handling). These are a few of my favourites and worth the money:
Hi and thanks for your info. I did order from Ebay (Tricks of the Trade: From Best Intentions to Best in Show) by Pat Hastings. I will have a look at the other books you have listed. Thanks
Another good book for handling/tricks of the trade is The Winning Edge by George Alston. I got mine years ago at one of his handling seminars in the US but I believe you can get it on Amazon as well.
