Dog Show Judging: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Book

I came across this book while browsing the used books at Goodwill. Awesome find! I have a tendency to chose dogs who are very intelligent and this usually means they have a definite mind of their own. This book has a lot of great tips for independent-minded dogs. I am raising my first puppy completely on my own (not a family dog) and would like him to be very well-behaved. This book has helped me grasp an understanding of what the more intelligent dogs require in making them want to work for you.

There were a couple things I didn't like much about the book...
-There are several boxes of information set out from the text. These have good pointers and I like the general idea but the boxes are mostly set in the middle of paragraphs (and a lot of times in the middle of sentences) which distracts from the portion being read. It would have been a lot more effective to place these boxes at the end of the section. This might just be personal preference but I found it distracting.
-There was a lot of information on competitions thrown in with the normal training stuff. There is a chapter at the end dedicated to training and I think ALL of the training stuff should have been stuck at the back, in this section.

Those are only minor complaints though, in comparison with what I learned from the book. I loved it and can't wait to start implementing some of the tips provided.
