This book is a well thought out, Good beginers guide to the JRT featuring both Parson and Short varieties which is in some books a first everything from breed standard to Jackie first aid its all in the book. A very clear concise book for prespective owners and seasoned owners alike.

A very informative book.
I found this book to be very helpful. I read the whole book and sometimes refer to it when I have a question or someone else has a question. She portrays the JRT very well and this is definitely the book for people who are thinking of getting a JRT. It outlines what to expect from this breed of dog and tells you how to handle some situations that arise. I'm glad I had this book when my female came into heat and had her first litter. It was a guide for me as I did not know what to expect. Very well written.
