Customer Reviews

Excellent maltese educator

This is the best book on the maltese breed I have read. It gives real, practical, and detailed advice and tips on grooming (the most important question for this breed!) as well as the basics for showing, sports activities and the breed itself. It is wonderful in its review of the top maltese since the 50's - it will give you great information on the top pedigree lines and their history. This author was the top breeder/handler of maltese, with impecable creditials and integrity to match no other in the show dog world. Owners and handlers are very lucky to now have Ms. Abbott in the ring as a judge. If you are serious about this breed, this book is invaluable.
