The most informative junior showmanship book I have read!, July 21, 2000 Reviewer: A reader from washington state As a beginner in the sport of junior showmanship I have read countless titles on the subject, and this one is the best so far. It covers all aspects of the juniors ring, especially focusing on the LIFETIME commitment and relationship between junior and dog. (The animal is not just a showdog, he is a pet and a member of the family first)! Many hard concepts and manuevers were made easy for me to understand and master with the help of this book. It takes the reader from the match ring to Westminster, and even gives hints for future careers after one is too old to compete. The book is perfect for some one new to the sport who doesn't know how to show, but can't wait to learn- (I speak from experience)!
