[.uk] The Cairn Terrier (ISBN 0793801893)

Recommended by breeders...:
this book is one of the best books on the market in years. It is extremely well illustrated with gorgeous photos. It's easy to read and understand and yet is as comprehensive as the Cairn Terrier is complex. It belongs on the holiday list of every current or prospective Cairn owner.

Why doesn't this book come up with the initial search?:
All the reviews you post on this book are five stars. Why doesn't it come up when I search for Cairn Terriers? I had to search for Cairns and the author to get it to come up on your search. This is by far one of the best books I've seen on the Cairn Terrier in years. People won't be able to judge for themselves if they aren't offered the opportunity to buy it. It's extremely well illustrated and informative, has many excellent photos and, as a breeder of Cairn Terriers, I feel it should be on every Cairn owner's holiday list.

The Cairn Terrier:
This book is a must for all cairn enthusiasts, breeder and pet owner alike. Very comprehensive, covering all aspects of care and breeding. The quality of the hundreds of glossy, colored pictures is amazing. If you only have money to buy one cairn book, this is the one!

Not for regular people:
Unless you are going to breed or show, don't buy this book. Three of the chapters aren't even written by the author. Breeding history and standards make up most of the book. The functional sections give very little useful information.

A Special Family History:
This book was very special to me. Although my beautiful Cairn never entered a show ring, she was from a line of champion Cairns. Her grandparents' Sharolaine's Kalypso, Copperglen Fame n Fortune and Nighfalls Encore are all featured prominently in this book. I lost her recently at the age of 15 and it's nice to have a published book chronicling her family history. This is a wonderful history of the breed with beautiful photographs and lots of useful information on health, grooming and training. I highly recommend it to all Cairn owners.
