Review

Westminster is regarded as the mecca of U.S. dog shows, guaranteed to create a superstar out of any winning canine. Understandably, the road to Westminster is a long and challenging one, but one which many owners of purebreds aspire to travel. Bob and Toni Freeman have traveled the professional dog-show circuit for more than 20 years, showing their beautiful Clumber spaniels. The couple share their collective wisdom in The Road to Westminster, a book bursting with information on selecting, raising, and preparing dogs for showing. Throughout, the Freemans emphasize the importance of enjoying your puppy as he grows and develops, champion dog or not.

Health care features prominently in the book, with an emphasis on the purebred dog. The authors list the symptoms of common illnesses and the appropriate actions an owner should take. A useful glossary of dog-show terminology completes the book.
