Review

A Dog Show Companion is an insightful study of the practical world of developing the art of exhibiting dogs.  Mrs. Grandemange writes with both clarity and brevity about the essential ingredients as you approach showing your dogs.  At the same time the book provides a personal journal of the exhibitor’s achievements along the way. The charts provide a crisp way by which the exhibitor can maintain a record over the years whereas important details are often forgotten. 

–James G. Reynolds, breeder, exhibitor and judge for over 60 years 

A Dog Show Companion is an invaluable guide which outlines all aspects of dog showing, suitable for novices but also for veterans in the dog world. The author shares easy-to-follow tips and practical charts to help the reader enjoy dog showing and experience the rewards it can give, while avoiding the potential pitfalls. The book is written with business like detail but also with subtle nuances of grace, portraying dog showing as a science and an art. I believe it will be a book which you can look back over with pleasurable memories in years to come. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in dog showing.
