We just read a wonderful book called 'SHOW DOG' by Josh Dean, HarperCollins Publishers.
If you enjoy reading books, and love to watch dog shows, this book is for you!
The author Josh Dean follows 'Jack', Grand Champion Wyndstar's Honorable Mention, a beautiful Australian Shepherd through his trials of being a show dog. From Jack's first shows all of the way to the Westminster Dog Show.
Josh presents an insider's view of the dog show world which covers nearly two years of victories and setbacks along the road to win Jack the title of Champion. This book is a real life glimpse of what the dog show world is really like. We learned many things about the shows by reading this book. As you follow Jack from show to show, you feel the joy, stress and heartbreak along with his owner and handlers.
Here is an article in USA Today about this book that you can read:
