The Maltese: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet List Price: $12.95 Amazon Price: $7.23 Average Customer Rating: (3 reviews) Editorial Review: Maltese are elegant, yet fearless little dogs.

Bobbie Linden, a Maltese breeder and columnist for the AKC Gazette, turns her love for, and knowledge of the breed to the care of this feisty dog. Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours Customer Reviews: Summary: Not too bad Content: I've read a bunch of Maltese books, I don't know what exactly I am hoping to get out of them but I'm fairly dissapointed in all of them. This one however sits at the top of my heap. It wasn't too bad..theres lots of information about bread history, health problems and grooming. The major problem I find in all bread specific books is that there is only so much you can write about a breed, the rest of the book is made up of stuff that can be applied to all puppies and grown dogs (training, eating, vaccinations ect). This book has the same sort of section. I get the impression that the authors just replace the phrase "your dog" with "your maltese." But all in all this book did its best with the little information you can write about the matlese breed and I was pleased. My favorite section of the book was the one that outlined "leisure cuts" for this dogs, as most books go into great detail about coat length and top knots, it was refreshing to read about a grooming style that I am more interested in. Actually this is the only book I've read that has ever discussed the leisure cut. So in short I recommend this book to anyone interested in having a Maltese as a pet, it gives good advice on how to get you off to a good start

Bill McKee is an inspired author choice, bringing new insight into how the Oci was 'created' just three decades ago. Modest as he is, it's fascinating to think that the farsighted breeding choices he (and a handful of others) made, not so very long ago, have defined one of the most popular and distinctive breeds today.

Paperback / 96 Pages / 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 / 1996 Customer Reviews: Summary: Good book for first time Birman owners not breeders Content: This book is a good book covering the Basics of Birmans but begins to fall short when talking about breeding and the genetics of Birman cats. I love the care/feeding and general information of the book. A true book about breeding however should include pedigrees, history and foundation cats, and include medical information as well. My wife and I have bred Birmans for 11 years and as such have to consider genetic questions whenever we talk about breeding/aquiring another birman. The book also should include online information available for Birmans which is extensive.

Abyssinian Cats: Everything About Acquisition, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, Health Care, and Breeding (Barron's Compete Pet Owner's Manuals) List Price: $7.95 Amazon Price: $173.99 Average Customer Rating: (1 reviews) Customer Reviews: Summary: People should read books like this BEFORE selecting kitty! Content: I recommend that anyone considering being owned by an Abyssinian read this book (the info is enlightening for already owned people as well). It covers in easily understood language everything one should know about Abyssinian Cats and how to care for them. It is simply enough written to be understood by children though not boring to adults. It could be used as a teaching tool for children in the home where kitty will live. The author starts at the beginning: How to buy the cat, acclimation, caring for it "Forever After," etc. She discusses controversial issues such as declawing (I'm personally opposed), grooming, showing, etc. The general care information would apply to most cats. But Abyssinians are very intelligent, loyal, inquisitive and active. If you want a cat that will NOT sit on the refrigerator, then perhaps this book would give the reader some understanding of the personality of the Abyssinian and guide the propsective cat owner toward making a good decision about whether or not to select this particular breed or another, less active, breed. Plenty of good photos.
