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. With their long silky coats, these dogs require a lot of grooming. 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
