Thoroughbred in appearance, the Fox Terrier reigns as one of the
world's most beloved companions, the proverbial children's dog, and
one of the most accomplished show dogs in history. Whether clad in
a dense, crisp wire coat or a straight, hard smooth coat, the Fox
Terrier is a handsome, distinctive member of the terrier family
that enjoys popularity on every continent. Known to be friendly,
forthcoming, and fearless--traits Fox Terriers exhibit regardless
of their roles in their owners' lives--this iconic breed makes an
ideal comrade for loving owners of any age. Written by terrier
breeder and expert Muriel P. Lee, this Comprehensive Owner's Guide
begins with a chapter devoted to the history of both the Smooth and
Wire Fox Terriers in England and America, illustrated with
photographs and paintings of famous breed representatives through
the ages. Given the breed's astounding success as Best in Show
victor at the famous Westminster Kennel Club dog show, the Fox
Terrier's record as a show dog in America is astounding and speaks
to the undeniable greatness of this breed. Lee's chapter on the
breed's characteristics (including physical and temperamental
traits) will help every potential owner decide whether this terrier
breed is a good fit for his or her life.
New owners will welcome the well-prepared chapter on finding a
reputable breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy. Chapters on
puppy-proofing the home and yard, purchasing the right supplies for
the puppy as well as house-training, feeding, and grooming are
illustrated with photographs of handsome adults and puppies. In
all, there are over 135 full-color photographs in this useful and
reliable volume. The author's advice on obedience training will
help the reader better mold and train into the most well-mannered
dog in the neighborhood. The extensive and lavishly illustrated
chapter on healthcare written by Dr. Lowell Ackerman provides
up-to-date detailed information on selecting a qualified
veterinarian, vaccinations, preventing and dealing with parasites,
infectious diseases, and more. Sidebars throughout the text offer
helpful hints, covering topics as diverse as historical dogs,
breeders, or kennels, toxic plants, first aid, crate training,
carsickness, fussy eaters, and parasite control. Fully
indexed.
