THE PERFECT
PUPPY, How to Raise a Well-Behaved Dog,

prevention rather than cure and positive
reinforcement.
Many colour photographs.

DOG EAT
DOG,
by Jane and Michael Stern.
A humourous and truthful book about dogs

BONES WOULD
RAIN FROM THE
SKY by Suzanne
Clothier.
I LOVE this book, reread passages often,
and am endlessly inspired and enriched.
Any dog lover/companion person should
have it, not only TT folk.
It examines and deepens the
RELATIONSHIP between humans and dogs.
It addresses dog training,
understanding, and communicating ‘across
the breeds’. It is consummately
readable, informative, wise, and warm
hearted. I cannot speak highly enough
of this book, without dispute the best I
have ever read about the canine-human
bond .
“A memorable tribute to the grace,
spirit, and soul of our co-pilots
through life.”

SUCCESSFUL DOG BREEDING
(2nd edition)
by Chris Walkowicz and Bonnie Wilcox
This is my favourite whelping reference
book. It is an award-winner,
written for the novice breeder and also the
experienced. Comprehensive,
sensible, enjoyable language and prose,
graced with entertaining touches of
description and humour (always truthful!). |

These are both by
Jon Katz, an author who now exclusively
writes about dogs....
1. A Dog Year
My scribbled recorded comments that I make
after reading any book said "Wonderful!
Witty, informative, Absorbing!" Not
specifically about TTs, but hugely relevant
for any dog lover and human companion. A
critic:: This is a lovable mutt of a
book!" It turned me into a Jon Katz fan.
