These photo-illustrated books instruct on housing, feeding, health care, and where applicable, grooming and training. B.E.S.

Excellent and comprehensive book

I bought this for my wife as we have a new dog and she loves the book. She refers to it all the time to determine how she should handle a certain situation with our new dog. It is quite comprehensive and specific to the breed. If you have a Jack Russell, this is the book for you.

Good book with a lot of information but also a lot of slightly overgeneralizes opinions. It is a great book to help you get to know your puppy, but don't forget that every dog is different and not 100% ruled by their breed.

Recently got a Jack Russell Terrier from an animal rescue, and knew nothing about JRs. This book is very informative and gives ideas on dealing with their hyperactivity and other issues. It's great!

Very good. Taught me a lot about my new puppy. Will be able to train her better, now that I know the characteristics of the breed of dog.

This isn't the basic how to/best practices for breed. Seemed to give me a lot of information I had no need for. It was helpful

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

The book seems to be more than half about organizations, competition, standards for the breed. While some of that information is good to have, I feel it took up too much of the book. Sections/chapters I did find helpful had to do with the breeds history, temperament, medical issues/care, grooming, diet, exercise(both physical and mental) needs and training related material that seemed to take up about the other half of the books pages. Maybe I'm not the intended audience for the book.
