READING LIST The following is a partial list of books that I thought you might be interested in adding to your doggy library. Most of these are available online at Amazon.com or you may find them at vendors at dog shows. There is much available reading material regarding dogs and shows but I selected these as some that I thought you might particularly enjoy. 1.) DOGSTEPS Illustrated Gait at a Glance by Rachel Page Elliott...a must for every breeder and person wishing to learn 'why their dog moves like that'. 2.) DOG EAT DOG Jane and Michael Stern A very human book about dogs and dog shows. This is just a fun and interesting read. 3.) THE NEW ART OF BREEDING BETTER DOGS Kyle Onstott 4.) HANDLING YOU OWN DOGS for show obedience and field trials Martha Covington Thorne She was a mentor of mine and this book is a classic but is no longer in print and copies might be hard to find.
