Parson Russell Terrier (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series)

A pocketful of energy and skill, the Parson Jack Russell Terrier was born for the hunt. While not all Jack Russells are afforded the opportunity to show off their fox-hunting acumen, the breed has happily found other ways of keeping busy! Today?s Parson Russell Terriers are prized companions, show dogs, watchdogs and helpmates, adding fun, excitement and spontaneity to every family outing. This book provides the much-needed factual information about Parson Jack Russells and their history in Britain and America, breed character and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup?s arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.

In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Jack Russell from puppyhood to the senior years.  more
