A must read for new or current JRT owners

I have owned JRTs for several years now and this book hits home hard. If you are even considering getting one of these dogs this book is the place to start. In fact, I gave it to some of the people who were planning on buying pups from us who knew nothing about the breed. It explained more than I could tell in an interview with a new or expectant owner. It made up the minds of some and disuaded others. It will always be a part of my collection of books on the breed beacuse it puts things in terms that non-owners can understand. This book is a "must have."

New Owner Essential

While the title is, admittedly, horrible, this informative, interesting and easy-to-read book covers all aspects of owning and/or being owned by a Jack Russell Terrier. Nutrition, purchasing a puppy, health care, and training are just a few of the topics addressed in this book. Everything is written in a simple and straight forward manner that is both educational and unpretentious. This is an invaluable reference guide!

A must read!

This is a wonderful book for anyone thinking of getting one of these fun and feisty dogs. Britt-Hay doesn't sugarcoat the fact that this is a special breed, and not meant for everyone. Yet, her love for the breed is evident through out the book.

Wonderful if you are a first time jack russell owner

This book is great for teaching you how to live with a JRT, and it is perfect for people who are not quite sure if they can handle one. If I hadn't gotten this book I would never have known how to choose a puppy.

I couldn't survive the puppy hood of a JRT without this book

I could not have survived the puppyhood of a JRT without this book. It was pretty hectic but This book helped me deal with it. This book helps you take on the tenacious but lovable JRT.
