Book Reviews of Whippets (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals)

Book Review: Personal insight, not just care & training
Summary: 5 Stars

Whippets can be very happy living in an apartment, provided they get enough of the right kind of exercise--not the same kind of exercise a retriever or scent hound would need. Dr. Coile explains the various field and conformation competitions and activities that Whippets enjoy and excel at, as well as the best methods to train your Whippet (always with love and praise, not with punishment).

Appendices include the AKC Whippet Standard and useful addresses and literature for more information on Whippets. Plenty of gorgeous color photos and wonderful illustrations by Michelle Earle-Bridges complete this package that is indispensible to Whippet owners, those considering getting a Whippet, and dog lovers who just want to learn more about this graceful breed. Although it is not a big book, it is concise and all very breed-specific--this is not just general dog information with one chapter about Whippets thrown in, as some breed books by other publishers seem to be. Whether you buy many books about Whippets or just one, this volume is the one to get first.
