Dog Show Guides and Information

The Great American Dog Show Game

by Alvin Grossman, R. Annabel Rathman , William W. Denlinger

The Author had long felt that lack of a good information program was severely hindering the dog game. Looking back on his own thirty plus years in the fancy he wondered how he had made it from a struggling novice to journeyman exhibitor to blase top-winning Specials owner to the exalted ranks of dog show judging. he was well aware that it was NOT because of a well thought-out plan. He finally concluded that it was only because he had been tenacious and has asked questions of everyone in sight that he had finally arrived. In an effort to impart some of the knowledge he has gained he has written this book. To make it easy to absorb he has used levity and cartoons. But the subject matter is important. Read it and learn...but best of all enjoy it! the Dog Writer's Association nominated this book for Best Book of the Year in its category
