The spry and energetic Toy Fox Terrier is one of the few toy breeds that Americans claim as their own, and lovers of this breed prize this three-pounder for its elegant appearance, its keen animation, and its boundless love for its owners. Written by dog show judge and award-winning author Richard G. Beauchamp, this colorful guide offers over 135 color photographs. In addition to the breed's origins, the history chapter tells of the breed's rise to acceptance with both US registries, the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club. The chapter on characteristics encapsulates the breed's virtues, including his exceptional personality and surprising versatility. Subsequent chapters offer helpful information on selecting a puppy, shopping for puppy supplies, puppy-proofing the home, socialization, crate training, obedience, feeding, grooming, and more. The health chapter discusses parasite prevention, inoculations, and finding the most qualified veterinarian for a toy dog. Sidebars throughout offer helpful advice to readers about hundreds of topics. Fully indexed.
This book was very well researched, and written in an easy to understand fashion. It even explained a problem about barking that was making me crazy. It is also reasonabley priced.

Love this book! My Toy Fox Terrier's grandmother is the older cover dog and his breeder is shown inside the book. I've had other TFT's but this book is very informative!

This was a very well put together book with lots of good information. My only dissapointment is that it seemed a bit too generic - not breed specific. Its as if the words "toy fox terrier" were inserted with the same info used with other dogs and other books.
