"This book, K-9 Structure & Terminology, is a must for anyone interested in showing, breeding or judging dogs...The terms used in the book are not technical but, rather, the authors have made an effort to use the terms commonly used by dog fanciers. K-9 Structure & Terminology is a book that can't nor, indeed shouldn't, be read just once. It should be read by fanciers several times a year as there is too much information to assimilate in just one reading. Throughout the book it is stressed that each breed is different in its structure, movement and original function...I strongly recommend that K-9 Structure & Terminology should become a valuable part of any fanciers library."
- Gillian Brockie, New Zealand, Canine Book Reviewer and Whippet Breeder

"Read, think and be challenged."
